Nice hammer, what are you using to hold the head on?

Drilled and tapped the brass head for a brass threaded rod then drilled and tapped the Ipe and it screws on.

A yew is a tree in the German-speaking world.
The Latin term for it is "Taxus baccata", similar to a cypress "Cupressus".
..........

A yew is also a tree in English, which is of course a Germanic language. "Pensioner" in translation used both "yews" and referred to the "jaw", so there was confusion. "Translations by machine" can be surprising sometimes.

Finding all places that "yews" was used, I finally decided it was the "ways", and then the "pine type tree" shape is what we call the tail of a dove, which is the same shape (dovetail ways).

Well, I finished a couple clamps I’m giving at Christmas.

I don't remember giving you my mailing address Tim, do I need to send it to you? 😎

Well, I really like it. I’ll refrain posting any photos of my home built hammers, I think!
