Appreciation post: the 2 pound rounding hammer I laughed at in March now lives on my anvil
A guy at the Missouri Valley Forge meetup in Warrensburg let me swing his 2 lb rounding hammer back in March and I told him it was too light to move any real steel. After 3 weeks of elbow pain with my 4 lb cross peen I borrowed it for a batch of 12 bottle openers and the steel moved just fine with way less wear on me. Anybody else switch to a lighter hammer later on and kick themselves for waiting so long?
