It seems that hammers (tools really) are a great source of inspiration for many people. Jim Dine an American pop artist has done some amazing paintings and lithograph featuring hammers. I particularly like "Running Hammers" and "Pink Heart" which features a precariously positioned hammer above a large pink heart hovering over a (Disston?) saw.

You gave us a great persopective on the size, scope and especially detail of Scotty’s collection. Great use of B&W and DOF to show the details and texture of the materials. Well done!

These would certainly round out any collection.

I only hope someone like Rob Lee keeps tabs on this kind of collection.

My favorite hammer for actually bashing nails is a nearly 10 year old Rigid brand hammer with formed rubber grip that makes it only useful for a right hander or a left hander depending upon the model. Unfortunetly I only have 1 of these hammers and they don’t seem to make them anymore. I can bash 16p nails all day with no discomfort in my hand, wrist or arm. Since this is a hammer discussion I was wondering if there is another currently available option that was very good at obsorbing the shock before it gets to the user.

Thanks,

It’s often debated but we seem to have that with most every other tool. Was there a maker or an era when hammers were finely crafted? I can sure recall many awkward club like versions not much better than a rock on the end of a stick. Anything that sings?

And then it became an obsession."

I do hope his delivery of that line was suitably deadpan.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I’d love to see that collection, one day.
