I always liked that hammer. In the old days you pounded iron all day long, and I liked it’s lightness. Mine is all rounded from use. Forest invented a lot of cool stuff.
Anyone do a wall with a pin bin?

Steve-
Haven't heard from you. Here is what I can send:
I've done a bit of sanding to get rid of rust on a few. Still need to be re-blued.

Wow
if those don't find a home & you'd be so inclined?
I have the tool in similar condition & would be thrilled to build out my meager collection
Just back from the frozen shed where the Ice gear bin has been.
 The sad patina says it all.
Johntp;
Yes, I was asking after your picks
I've a bucket full of belay devices, from running programs2 Stitch plates with Springs and mixed diameter holes,4 Clog brand; the nice ones; all rounded no edges.

Never was a wall rat, but remember them. BITD owned quite a bit of Forrest gear. Unfortunately a lot got lost in the move after the divorce. He had a great version of the sticht plate that I used for years.

Gnome if you want to get back on ice and you're still in CT hit me up... it's been a pretty good start to the season locally.

Hurrah!(middle of cooking dinner)
Fear, For sure!
If I can figure out a suitable kit, gloves? & boots?, I would be fully stoked to swing some tools.
I think I'm good on 'pons and the one modern Tool! well a 30-year-old modern tool(bent shaft?).
The modular Charlet Moser that I hid in a box of chocolates & sent to her at her office for Valentine's day.
The shed is frozen and I only knew to grab the one bin. I'll go after that tool tomorrow.

No worries, they screamed out for the international treatment anyway

Saw some Stich plates in gnomes photo.
You could do anything with one of those. They were great. Far better than most later devices.

Yes!
Some of the later model variants on those sticht plates with springs worked very nicely, especially for rapelling, giving a very cushy ride.
Smoother for belaying as well, and less prone to lock up when compared to the DMM beta brake, which was still pretty nicely produced with its rounded edges.
