Air hammers
Yesterday I had my first go at using an air hammer, well severeal air
hammers (curtosey of Andy* a near by master carver). I can see that air
hammers coould be quite addictive :-) Suprisingly (to me) the smallest
hammer was the most difficult to get to grips with - too little air it stops
to much it dances off. The easiest to use was the pistol grip Froelich &
Kluepfel: a lovely tool.

I came home and tapped away the old fashioned way and dreant of maybe
getting an air hammer one day. I know we've had this discussion before and
don't want to open it up again - my feeling as a rank amateur is that they
save time when you only get a few hours a week to work stone - but that you
need to be very sure of your design and how to get it from the stone.
