    Hi Steven, Thanks for your generous donation. As usual, I'll recognize you for this in an upcoming blacksmithing video. And I'll email you about the small multi-use swage block. 😬

    Hi James, I use my stubby hammer daily. It's not the hardest hammer being 1045 and the way I use it, it needs dressing every now and then. But the "softness" of this hammer has seemingly saved my arm some wear and tear. I may discontinue selling this - glad you like yours. Thanks for all.

    Nice, informative video as always Glen. I like your "bonehead approved" touchmark. Tell me, do you forge those multi-use swage blocks or do you get the machinist to mill them out? I think forging them would be somewhat time-consuming.... 😁

    Hi Tony, I had a machinist mill these small swage blocks. Forging this (for me), while not impossible, would take forever and not be nearly as accurate. I'm happy with my Bonehead Approved mark but I think the size needs altering. Thanks.
