Stake and Hammer Inventory

First up are pictures of ALL of my stakes. IF you count along with me, you will see that I now have 22.
Second are pictures of ALL of my hammers. If you count them, there are 58 and one more is in the mail to me as I write this. 

Vintage Hammers

These are the hammers i won on ebay. There are 18 in all, though the lot was advertised as being 18. I am slowly removing the rust and re-polishing the faces.  The rust is being removed with WD-40 and sandpaper, then the hammer faces are cleaned with 400, 800, 1,000, 1,500, 1,800, 2,400, 3,200, 3,600, 4,000, 6,000, 8000 and finally 12,000 grit sandpaper.
