I also bought some hammers and couldnt tell you if any are for special uses (with the exception of the lead hammer).I am very frugal generally but I purchased quite a few tools and the hammers were basically free ($5 ea but I got a good deal on the lot or hammers, punches, bench vise, c clamps, etc).Īnyway, I have researched in different places (and am reading through here with great enthusiasm), but simpler intro/tutorials are not found very easy. I also picked up something that seems like it would be for flat stock (rounded ends with a flat profile but has an indention like it would hold a marble in the center).it might be for something special but I am unsure (no pic as I left it in my uncle's jeep). I know from my little previous experience one set is for round bar (no idea if there is a specific name or if I did well on price though I assume $5 for about anything is a decent deal). I bought 2 tongs today to help me get started. Even in different working types like general blacksmithing, tinsmithing, etc.įor me a really helpful one would be tongs (hammers too). Starting with the most common types, names, uses, and general pricing and working down to more specialized. I would request a layout that could be great for beginners to experts. I shall give an example in a second (I apologize if this is a bit long winded).Įxample stickies could include: hammers, tongs, hardee hole accessories, punches, and other general tool categories. If someone would take the time to make info/tutorials for some of us super newbies that would be awesome. I request a tutorial sticky or actually stickies (I read through one already but some pictures were out of place and it got confusing with an overload of info on too many tools). I mention reasons in my post from this thread:
