We have a good-sized batch of Crucible Lump Hammers in stock and ready to ship. The hammers are $85 plus shipping, and (we think) they will become one of your favorite striking tools.
These hammers are 100 percent made in the United States – from the hardened steel to the hickory handle to the oak wedge to the hide glue that holds it all together. This batch was machined in Indiana and finished in Covington, Ky.

Those are beautiful. One is on my wish list. Why did you all choose hide glue?
Hide glue holds just as well as modern PVA glue. It is easily reversible and is what we have in stock all the time.
My random thought of the day: “I wonder if they have lump hammers back in stock”.

Are these sold out already?
Yes. Sold out.
Argh. Every bleeping time.
LAP, any time frame when another batch will be available ??
