Читать книгу The Handyman's Book of Tools, Materials, and Processes Employed in Woodworking - Paul N. Hasluck - Страница 115

The woodworker has the choice between two or three shapes of hammer-head. There is the Exeter or London pattern (Fig. 322), the Warrington (Fig. 323), and the adze-eye claw pattern (Fig. 324). The first two are the most usual ones in the workshop, but the last is very convenient for many kinds of handiwork. The substance of the hammerheads is iron, but the faces and penes are of steel. It is desirable to obtain two hammers, one weighing from 1 lb. to 1 1/2 lb., and the other from 1/2 lb. to 3/4 lb. A heavy hammer applied lightly and skilfully leaves fewer marks and does less damage than a light hammer necessarily applied with great force.
