Well, the hammer dance is a little out of my realm, I think I'm too white, but I look forward to bashing and breaking anything I can get ahold of. Thanks to Nathan and myArmoury.com and everyone. I look forward to future contests and content! Now where did I put my stump of bashing?

Alright, if we're not going to see the Hammer Dance, then we want videos of you guys unloading on pumpkins like you're at Wisby! Wink

Congratulations to all three winners! Happy

I am mighty appreciative of this site and all the wisdom and experience I find here. I will continue to support this site. I love it.I am surprised I won a war hammer. I can't wait to see how it is constructed and how it feels. And it is arriving just in time for 2012 when the zombies are supposed to make a showing. Happy

And I will not be doing a war hammer dance! At least not near a video camera.

PostPosted: Thu 01 Sep, 2011 12:39 pm    Post subject: Brain basher         Reply with quote

I recently received the Windlass Steelcrafts German Warhammer that I won here at myArmoury. I told my wife that the war hammer was coming in the mail. Her first response was "Do you need another hammer." It was a legitimate question, because I do some blacksmithing, and I am always messing with hammers. But she didn't get the "war" part of the hammer until I pulled it out of the box.

"It's a brain basher," she exclaimed after I unwrapped it. So that is how it got its new name. Brain Basher is really a nice tool. I wondered if I would like the brass rivets on handle, but they really do improve the grip. I'm also surprised how easy it is to wield. Labor Day is approaching. My dogs love watermelon, and this all adds up to a test smashing. With Brain Basher in hand, I plan to execute a watermelon on my anvil stump in the backyard. It should be a mess and the dogs will love it. This adds new meaning to the Texas phrase "watermelon thump."

Y'all have a good weekend.

Thank you for sharing Richard. I guess all boys love getting armoured up and smashing things, no matter the age! Happy Wink

Grats to everyone that won this contest and thank you Nathan for providing us with such cool prizes. Nice pictures by the way Richard. Looks like our little ones are about the same age and have about the same interests.
