Until now I have been adjusting my woodenplanes with the big mallet and a very small home made brass hammer. I feel that I really need something else. The mallet is bruising the backs of the planes quite a bit and the brass hammer is just too light.
Any tips on the ideal plane hammer?
How about an all wooden hammer? Should I install strike knobs on all my planes and learn to use them? Maybe brass with a wooden face on one side? What about weight?
All tips are welcome.
I think David Weaver just uses and iron framing hammer.
