At 2.99 each, you're not ruining much. If I caught you grinding
the face of one of my hammers, you might not survive. You will
destroy the case hardening and make a good club out of them.

That is the best simple idea I've heard in quite some time.
Thanks.


Or, get a hammer with a "waffle marked" striking surface.


I just bought a couple of new hammers ($2.99 each at HF) with
heads so smooth you could comb your mustache by using them as
mirrors.

I'm gonna take my Dremel and carve a waffle pattern on the
faces.
