Planishing hammer advice

[GregWeld]

This whole discussion reminds me of the "what does it take to start a hot rod shop"? thread.... and I said that the problem many small businesses have is to be able to capitalize their growth... and that is the number one reason for small business failures - not the "lack" of business... but the cost of doing ANY business.

Your 10K planishing hammer is a classic example of this. It takes money to make money. Sure... you can do the job without it... but you can probably do it FASTER and BETTER with one...
