ABANA 2000 JUNK YARD HAMMER NAME THAT EVENT CONTEST!
OK, SO lets hear some names for the "competition" or "event" at Flagstaff! IF you post your idea HERE or on the (to be setup) Junk Yard Hammer Page FIRST and we use it You will WIN, a one year ABANA membership and an ABANA 2000 JYH (noname yet) contestant T-Shirt! Deadline is Midnight GMT June 26th, 1999.
Let's call it the ABANA Home Built Hammer Contest! Otherwise known as the HBH!Jim Wilson -- pawpaw@netunlimited.net - Sunday, 04/04/99 17:17:13 GMT
How about the First Biennial Junk Yard Hammer SMASH-IN. Rate it by how quickly it can flatten a 1" X 1" bar at a yellow heat to 1/4 the thickness, then add a handicap based on the actual dollars spent. The winner would be the hammer that does the most amount of work for the least amount of cash.
The wording in the challenge is somewhat ambiguous. I think Junk Yard Hammer captures the spirit of the project, although Home Built Hammer is also descriptive, and Back Yard Hammer would be my suggestion.
By the above, you know who'se working on the plans for the Renaissance Junk Yard Hammer, and where he plans to build it. If you ask real nice, I may even provide some Thor's Hammer amulets to be given as prizes.

Yunk-yard smash-in!
You sure seem to have fun over there.
From this we learn that the Swedish blacksmiths might be excellent craftsmen but also too damn serious.

Yiik!?
OK, here's an idea, The ARM hammer (Anvilfire Recycled Materials hammer). . . sorta like Arm & Hammer. . . What can you guys do with that? Its a competition but its not. . Its an event with minor contests. . A trial? The 2000 ARM Hammer Trials? Now if *I* work this out there won't be a prize. . . I know you guys can do better.Jock D. -- webmaster@anvilfire.com - Wednesday, 05/19/99 03:13:14 GMT
Gee, and I thought my WROUGHT BOTS and MAIDENS OF HAEPHESTUS suggestions were bad! (J/K)Chris -- kilpe4@gte.net - Wednesday, 05/19/99 13:37:56 GMT
OK!OK! It was supposed to be Y2K (YIIK) (smile)
Hmmmm? ARM? How about "ARM by Fire"?
"ARM's Way"?
Gimmie a little bit!(smile)
RalphRalph Douglass -- ralphd@jps.net - Wednesday, 05/19/99 14:29:25 GMT
How about "Desert Bash" for the Hammer competition?
Ralph Douglass -- ralphd@jps.net - Friday, 05/28/99 20:14:48 GMT
Sorry for how late I'm posting on the subject, but if there is no name, how's about S.M.A.S.H. (Self Made And Styled Hammers) then it could be the SMASH in!

Youngsmith, Not yet. Still looking for something as catchy as JYH. . . I kind of liked the ARM hammer. Gotta move on it and post the page for it. Been waiting for that GREAT name! Good try. I do like it. try some other words to fit.

Ah, Jim. I'll let you research the copyright issues.Jock D. -- webmaster@anvilfire.com - Friday, 08/06/99 14:52:43 GMT
Well, after ALL that we still didn't have a really catchy name. So, it will just be the ABANA 2000 JYH Event. Ralph Douglas will recieve an anvilfire! T-shirt for being the most persistant submitter. See, it DOES pay to enter a contest as many times as possible! AND youngsmith will recieve a T-shirt for S.M.A.S.H. even though we didn't use it

The shirts haven't been designed OR made yet so don't get impatient!
