Ah, Theron, missed your post. Fabulous. Will bug Lewis for the quote; we should have seen it by now. Bill's right on about the shipping, won't do to forget that.

Theron, I hear your pain, regarding the shipping costs from here to you to there to you to . . . .
Most of the energy expended by people, throughout history, has been in moving goods and materials from one place to another, and more recently, people moving themselves about in their wax-polished metal boxes.

Make sure you add some "handling" costs as well so you can buy a year's worth of beer. That's the least we can do.
I wonder if you could do one of those fixed cost USPS boxes for posting. They work on size not weight.
This is getting really exciting!

Shipping per each hammer: $1.55
That's with a negotiated rate commercial account too! $387.50 was the overall amount I came up with. Divide that by the 250 hammers and "Viola!"
I'll post later about the leashes.

Man, I got into this thread way late. I have some hammer thoughts that are out of the box and tested. Alls good with the designs I see, they all needed refining. But, I think the swing answer is in the leashing. A GOOD leashing will let your arm take the swing. You won't have to work the wrist that holds the hammer and get tired faster with the small wrist muscle holding it in place everytime the swing is coming back. With a GOOD leash your arm takes the control and on the swing its the arm that packs the punch, making the hammer more an extension of your arm. Kinda of like a catapult. I remember a long time ago that baseball bats started having a little pry bar type of device right above where your upper hand was that gave the ball some serious send. I think they outlawed it. Anyways, with a leash and the new hammer handle design it should whack the hell out of all the other designs.........

Just picked up a new McDevit hammer on eBay, will be interested to get it in my hands and see how it feels.
