I love the rythmic ring of the treadle hammer.

Rinnng! Rinnng! Rinnng! Rinnng! thud OWWWW! Sh!t

(Actually that’s pretty much any hammer...)

I’d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would
If I could
You know I surely would.

Where is the hammer a horseshoer (farrier) uses???

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Upper right.

[P.O.E.]

Friend of mine who raises horses wanted to name one of his colts “The Happy Hammer” after seeing the horse take a whizz one fine morning. Name was already taken, though.

[gundog]

No gauge....

There are a lot of different ferrier hammers. Here is the type I consider a horseshoers' hammer:

[HartleyMBaldwin]

So it’s one without a gauge. Still looks like a roofing hammer.

Dingaling hammer

[Organic Panic]

My pet peeve... It is spelled PEIN. Not “PEEN”

And as a machine shop owner, you can do some neat things with a ball pein hammer. Don’t tell anyone the secrets.

[ridesthemiles]

LOOKS pretty much like the one I have-—ONLY need it in emergencies here on my small horse ranch —or sometimes in competition, when I had a loose shoe.

If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land, uh

[Boiler Plate]

A lot of the concrete guys I saw in Europe had these.
