I was trying to work my cowl seams today and got fed up not being able to get to them, so I made this.

It is leaf springs for the heads, cut down and shaped with the grinder and polished.

Handle and shaft are 3/4" rod. It works for now but I would like to eventually put a wooden handle in it. It wears you out swinging it for too long lol.



Here is my 6" hammer for comparison..............the new one is 14".
