Hammers

Good tools are hard to find.

So, I make almost all my tools, such as hammers and stakes etc., by myself.

These are the toy hammers I made for my carpenter friend, for my shoemaker friend, and for myself.

YES. They are small and you can even wear them.

The material is the same as mokumegane snail.
