Charity shop find

I worked with car body hammers and still have a few. I guess there is not a lot of difference between car bodies and clock faces: both thin sheet metal.

Learned to hammer out dents from an old mechanic, an entire generation of local specialists that never got past their pension age due to the chemicals exposure and heavy smoking.

Lost the panel guy, car painter and upholsterer all from lung cancer at 65.

I think that motivated to keep the tools of their trades, except the need to smoke.
