Hammer Technique
This is a subject that is most important to me as a smith. I've heard and read a number of directions regarding the use of a hammer. I've also heard of smiths getting tendinitis from improper hammering technique. I was browsing through the iforgeiron site last night and came across a delightful tutorial on hammer use by the well-known smith Uri Hofi. Check out these links. I think you will be rewarded by what you read.

Fellows,
Thanks for the links, I found them really demonstrative. I got Weyger's books many years ago and have used the same method...
if not with the best results!

Weygers is classic. Every smith should have his book. I've been practicing Hofi's hammer technique and I'm really liking it. My arm definitely is not tiring as quickly.
