Special hammer, what a surprise!

Hi Klaus

The hammer head is terrific, and the handle equally so. However the best news is that you are still able to work with some woods and to be in the workshop!

Will it be used, and if so what is the intended purpose? A brass face wouldn't work for riveting, but the peen looks like a riveting one?

Well Klaus can use it anyway he wishes but I made it from bronze (a bit harder than brass) and steel, the bronze end to set plane blades and the steel end to drive brads.
Here is one that I kept for myself with a ball pein for riveting, and peining over brass pins when making planes.

And folks are right the best thing is seeing Klaus working some wood again!
