    I had a great meeting with the Casting guy yesterday.

    I'm just going to throw a whole lot of money at it and get the professionals to cast all the hammers I want from the fragments of the originals I have.

    It's a process I want to understand so the best way is to get it all to a guy who's been doing it for over 50 years and learn from the best
    Looks to be a multi generation business and hopefully he has taught plenty of others to carry on doing it.
