New Hammer, need help

Post by Willing Pell »

I just got a new doorskin hammer and need help on profiling the two heads to get the maximum effectiveness for thin metal raising. Both faces are slightly domed from left to right, one face is wider than the other and slightly tipped down. Should I grind the faces flat , left to right and slightly curved top to bottom ? Or, Leave the one slightly curved left to right and grind the other straight across and then curve top to bottom. What do you think?
