Dammerrs (hammers)

[susan]

Also, I have made some drill holders out of aluminum but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. If anybody wants to and is doing some drilling, let me know and I'll you send one.

Haven't lately but may in another month or two, so it would be nice to try one. Thanks for offering! Excellent post, Dan!

Also, shop nights were fun. I miss those.

Way off topic, having lunch in Manhattan tight now, thousands of miles from the nearest DAMMERR.

Did you have a Manhattan in Manhattan?

[susan]

How exciting! Enjoy!

Had few Manhattans but am easing off on that. Lunch yesterday was not my favorite, a vegetarian place. I had a grilled "cheese" sandwich with "bacon." Absolutely nothing wrong with it that some cheese and bacon wouldn't have fixed. We go my daughter all set up in her apartment which required me putting together Ikea puzzles. Off to Boston tomorrow.

Future DAMMERR handles in the making.  Video of my little log being milled.

Cool. Now that is the type saw I thought of when you mentioned the size of your log. Glad you got access to one.

 BTW, I haven't forgotten you and having a shop night Dan, I have just been too busy to set one up. One of these days I swear!

Some DAMMERRs and t-shirts on Ebay if anybody needs one.

I've been using my Dammerr with great efficiency, so much so that I've left the BD out of my kit. As along as I maintain a snug, but loose grip and maintain the aim, I can get a bolt in fast even when tired otherwise. To be honest, as I've been thinking about how poorly my grip was on my BD, it really is a zen-like concentration that is required to not otherwise drift into 'oh a little rest la la land' which devolves into a 30 minute hole.

From a bad stance, the longer shaft takes getting used to after years of BD.

Thx for making the Dammerr!

Great job on the Ebay ads - a live model and all for the tee-shirts...

[daniel banquo merrick]

Speaking of morals and ethics, is this in poor taste? Would you wear it on a t-shirt?

[mungeclimber]

Busted my rocpec with the Power of the Dammerr today!

[daniel banquo merrick]

Rob,

I'll mail a bomb proof drill holder to the 95383 address. Let me know if you need anything else like t-shirts, rap rings, DAMMERRs, stickers, funkness cable, whatever.

[mungeclimber]

Cool! I was going to rerig the other hand drill you set me up with too.

But honestly my hands just hurt so won't be drilling much more by hand this season.. Just too much 3/8" in short time.

Also, shit bits aren't helping. Wailed and realized it wasn't deepening. 40 useless hammer hits.
