In this weeks edition of Tutorial Tuesday, I discuss and demonstrate how hammering with a stock German hammer from Allcraft, compares to a forged cross pein with an Osage orange hammer handle from SC Studios LLC

I've been busy in the workshop developing new tools to add for your metalsmithing pleasure. Just added to SC Studios LLC's line are Forged Japanese kinko hammers, forged cross pien chasing hammers, and to be added shortly, snarling irons. If you're not familiar with Japanese kinko hammers and their uses watch this awesome video show the delicate work of a true master of his craft Happy hammering!
