Cross Pein hammers (for forging)

[Knife-Man]

After a long and exhaustive search Ive found my local DIY shop does some Very nice 3lb cross pein hammers "made in Whitehouse england Smiths hand hickory handle" I cant find these anywhere on t'internet so no link I'm afraid

16" shaft

If any of you budding forgers out there are having as hard a time as I was finding one I will be happy to pick a couple up and bring them to Leeds Or I will post them but the postage might be quite allot.

£12

I'm not sure how many he has in but it may be a case of first come first served

[Knife-Man]

Perhaps this should be in the group buy forum?

Mods advice please?

[PS_Bond]

Probably best. And I'll have one to play with if you're happy carrying it, thanks!

[Ratel10mm]

Regardless where it ends up, I'll take one please. :boldred:

Edit: Oh, I'll pick it up a Leeds if that's okay?

[Knife-Man]

Probably best. And I'll have one to play with if you're happy carrying it, thanks!

Of course just means I will have to forgo a pair of clothes and turn up in the nuddy :O

Sorry about putting in the wrong place it didn't occur to me as a group buy until I sat down and thought about it. :rolleyes: .

Are they as hard to get as I think or am I just looking in the wrong places (Cromwells, BandQ, Axminster, Ebay and machine mart don't have them and a internet search doesn't turn up much).

While I think about it I should cap the amount I can take to Leeds at say .... 7 ish (if i can get that many) as I'm on the train and walking when I arrive so I don't want 20 hammers to lug around.

Dont worry yours wont come with a face like this .. I took the grinder to mine to knock the corners off and didn't do a very neat job.

Hmmmm. I thought Cromwells had them in the catalogue, but no, they're not there now??

As I don't have forge access right now, if more than 7 peeps want you to take one to Leeds, I don't mind stepping aside mate. Otherwise I'll definitely take one.

[Knife-Man]

Of course if anyone offers me a lift I will be able to take more but 21 lb's of hammers + handles + my collection + clothing you get the idea is about enough for the train

[Hepotec]

I'll have one of those, if it's not too much trouble.

bump :D

[Knife-Man]

Final bump for the weekend crew :D

[Knife-Man]

Ive just been sent me this link

http://www.whdirect.co.uk/detail.lasso?keyvalue=17352&-session=Login:5195CDF40313f29C2BTVFE558D12

But at £8 for postage the price is about the same unless your making up an order 5 pence cheaper to be exact

Feel free to withdraw if you want to go for this :D

Personally I prefer wooden handles but its Mainly personal preference and a cost/quality ratio,

To clarify Im still going ahead with My original idea of Getting them from my local DIY shop But if anyone wants to drop out and or arrange a group buy from warehouse direct thats fine by me.

But could you let me know ASAP if you want to drop out because time wears thin and I really have got to get these bought

[Ratel10mm]

I'm still up for one please mate. :)

[Knife-Man]

Thats

JJH and Ratel10mm Confirmed

I'm getting these on Friday (g/f's agency has messed up and we have no money till then) so if you don't pull out I'm presuming you still want one.

[PS_Bond]

Still keen...

[Knife-Man]

Hepotec ... where are you :D .

[Ratel10mm]

'Course I'm still keen. I've wanted one of these since trying Trond's at Colin's hammerin!

[Knife-Man]

I just hope he still has some in after all this time :rolleyes:

[Hepotec]

Yes, I still want one, if they're available.

Cheers.

[JJH]

Yes please still keen will get cheque off later.

[Knife-Man]

sorry guys

Only Two left in :C

Thats PS_Bond and Ratel10mm

Hepotec and JJH The nice guy in the shop says if he can get any more he will but its looking unlikely If I can get a couple more in time for Owens hammering I will get them for you then

Colin you don't need to collect JJH's any more and JJH you don't need to send that payment off just yet ... unless its too late in which case I wont cash it.

[PS_Bond]

Ah, not to worry - I'll give mine up to someone who needs it more.

[Knife-Man]

Ok that makes it Ratel and Hepotec

You still want one if he gets some more?

[PS_Bond]

If he does, yes please; if not - don't worry too much.

[Hepotec]

EDIT I actually read the post properly, this time......


Yes, I still want one, unless there is someone out there who has no hammer.
Cheers.

[Ratel10mm]

As previously said - I don't have a forge at the moment, so if someone else would like / needs to get one now, they can have mine. Otherwise I'm good for it tomorrow K-M. 7 if somneone does want 'mine' I'll still be wanting one later in the year.

[robtattoo]

Could I possibly step in for one? Been looking for a decent cross pein for ages.

only if he gets some more in. sorry ... there were four there when I bought mine. The shame is I bet the others went to people who are not even going to use them properly:C .
