In MetalCraft there are four crucial tools, the hammer, anvil, forge, and tongs, each having its own unique features and usefulness. But, to a skilled tradesman, these are all things you do not work well without. You must have all these things, especially the hammer and anvil, to be a successful craftsmen.

The first of these tools is the Hammer. The hammer is usually 2-3 pounds in weight, though that depends on the person. If a person were heavier, it would require a heavier hammer, if the crafter were lighter, a lighter hammer would be required. The hammer itself usually has a wooden handle, and a metal head. It would be nearly impossible to have a wooden head, as that could catch on fire, or perhaps not be strong enough to undertake the task of pounding out the metal, which the iron head is better for. Also, the wood would absorb most of the shock instead of transferring it to the metal that the crafter is pounding, whereas the iron head will transfer all of the force to the wood, rather than absorbing it. As the head is iron it may heat up a little, but would not react to the heat like that of a hammer with a wooden head might. A metal head is also more capable of pounding out other metals, as it's required to do, when working near the forge. Though there are different types of hammers for those who do intricate decorating, this one is generally used only to flatten out the metal, near the forge, and on the anvil.
