Couchmaster... Once the dust DOES settle I will post a full accounting. Right now I still feel like things are changing by the day! One number I can post is that I sent a check to Theron for $15,000 so he could pay suppliers to the project and do the vast majority of mailing.
Anyway, once things settle down (and I have a free moment) I will let all of the wonderful people who supported this project through their hard work, purchasing of a hammer (or five), or just cheering us on here at TopoLand what the final outcomes were financially.
Until then... too much to do!

I hope mine isn't double stamped. Fattrad brought it up but I was wondering after market value. I bet there isn't much unless you missed out and are a ST regular.

I just received my hammer. It is really beautiful. I have several old Chouinard hammers (and an ice hammer!) from the dark ages, but I think the swing of this D5 is better, and I like the pick shape and hole a lot!
Many, many thanks to Theron, healyje, Simon, and all the other helpers who made this possible. It was a huge effort, but it has really brought a lot of people together, and seeing someone with one is an instant conversation starter. I will be using mine this spring.
Great job!!! Thanks again!!!

Always fun to receive a new shipment of hardware for my tiny shop!
All sorts of fun from Moses!
For those wanting a grown up version of the wonderful Tomahawk... The #2s are in stock!
The hammers may be gone but lots of other fun awaits...

Amazing to see the D5 Project winding down after years of trying to get it launched. Of course we'll remain on it until everyone get's their hammer, the final accounting is done, and the build process documented. Still, quite a journey and clear testimony to what online communities can accomplish (along with things like Facelift, Sushifests, helping each other, and connecting old friends...).
A big high five out to everyone who participated...!

For those of you who are concerned about not receiving an e-mail, panic not. I never received an email prior to actually getting my hammer! I am guessing your hammer will show up 'unannounced' on your doorstep soon.

So, I got my package today, and in it a bonus hammer!
Pretty sure I only paid for one, and I received both #80 and #52.
Joseph? Simon? Did I get someone else's hammer?
What shall I do with the extra?

I thought #080 and #081 were supposed to be sent to me... according to the list posted a while back.
Still waiting on my shipment. As long as I get #081 the second hammer I'm happy. 81 is for me, the other is the x-mas present for my partner in climb who found himself unable to finance a D5 after following the project from the start. The plan is to have 2 D5 hammers on a new routing spree that we've been on for the past few years.

I just called Joseph and asked him to weigh in on any hammer number confusion as he is the Master of the List. Expect some clarity soon.
