Thanks Jim,
Yea I am pretty pleased about this. Been a long road to get to this point, not in stock until early September but I am hoping the design is as useful for others as it has been for me. Did a blog entry to talk about my thought processes... Blog Entry Richard ▼

Well deserved Rich! The hammer has a great design and is obviously crafted with high attention to detail. A high quality tool!

Very nice and congrats. I have on my list to go down to the Metal Supermarket and pick up some brass rod for a small hammer. Might just have to wait until September and give this a test drive!
