My husband has his favorite hammer, and he makes it known to everyone who touches it. It was his grandfather's hammer, with old curled tape around it. He is 64, so this hammer must be REALLY old. He comes from a family of Swedish woodworkers. After retiring 2 yrs ago, he was able to purse his woodworking hobby more seriously. We are a team, have raised 5 children, have 9 grandchildren, and 1 greatgrandchild on the way. So I do the woodworking as well. My skills are mostly painting, both latex and milk paint, but I do use the hammer a lot. This past March, I broke my wrist falling over our son's lab dog. The dog was fine. I however, suffered a serious break, immediate surgery and possible nerve damage, but won't know for about 6 more months. In my wrist is a $6000 titanium plate, as well as 9 titanium screws.....it would be so nice to have a matching light hammer to do my work! My hammer is an old left over, one that Jim gave me after he inherited his grandfathers upon his father's passing last August. We make farm tables, step-side cupboards, bookcases and whatever comes our way that we think would sell. This past Christmas, we made small memory boxes for all our children, with a poem that reflected on past Christmases. We found spalted sycamore and walnut to create the boxes. We used a plan from FINE WOODWORKING. We rent a little space at a local antique mart. We love our life, are thankful for every day, but finding something to make my work easier would be great! Thank you for your consideration. God Bless America and Our Freedom!!!!!!
