Thank you so much.
Ooooh that’s a tough question. There are so many good hammers. I think an old chasing hammer from auto body work that I found in the bottom of my father’s hammer box (yup, that’s just what it sounds like, a big old wooden box full of hammers, glad it wasn’t a bag…har har) when I was cleaning up the old tools. I was a little aggressive with it last week and it needs a new handle now but that’s not anything I can’t fix right here on my own.

Pm should work. I’ll send you a message.

Thank you. It takes about 30-40hrs to make one. That’s from raw reclaim material (wire and pipe, local stones and beach finds). Not including time spent sourcing materials or making shipping crates when necessary.
I charge $300/CAD per jelly plus shipping to you.

I had to look this up cause I’m old.

It’s hard to explain really. I just sort of did. I’ve always made art in some way. One day I picked up a hammer and a piece of old pipe. Then I braised some wire to it and it became something. I’ve never been able to explain it well. It just sort of happens. I don’t have any training or extra knowledge other than what I have gained on my own.
