That's what I get for following the wrong thread . . .
MD 11 has you covered.

Have a look at page 4 of The Punch thread that MD11 has linked to for all the details!

Looks pretty cool to bad i dont have any need for one.
Thanks!
You never know when you might need one though.
Ap some of us guys only need big hammers to beat the **** out of stuff not precision hammers.
UPDATE
I'm finishing up the next group of hammer heads this afternoon and preparing them for etching.
I still have some hammers available in this group. If you'd like a personalized hammer from this group I need to know by tomorrow afternoon when I etch the heads.

What's the blue for?
Moose,
That's layout fluid. I scribe lines into it to locate the radii at each end of the small handle segment.
A New Face for "The Hammer"
Over the weekend I took a trip to my local motorcycle dealer to see what was new. The chief mechanic and I talk bikes on a fairly regular basis. I also brought along "The Hammer".
A discussion ensued and needless to say he found "The Hammer" very impressive. I have a feeling he will be buying one in the near future to add to his collection of engine repair tools.
During the discussion he mentioned that an extended face for "The Hammer" would be perfect for installing pistons and meshes perfectly with the precision nature of "The Hammer". I agreed completely and set to work making a sample.
Here is the first Piston Installation Face:
Specifications:
Length: 4.0"
Material: Nylon
Diameter: 1.2"
Reach (Total distance from striking face to hande) : 4.5"
The Piston Installation Face is priced at $24 each plus $4.95 USPS Flat Rate shipping.

This thread is a perfect example of what happens when you give a man a lathe who already has to much free time and material on his hands...
Now when are you uploading some new video's?

[Makes mental note to buy the full set once I'm in the states] 
To answer a question I have received from several members: It is more than sufficient in length to reach though the majority of motorcycle and automotive ring compressors without becoming unwieldy. You can measure the depth of yours ring compressor and compare it to the reach of the Piston Installation Face if you're uncertain.
It also has great feedback. There's no mistaking a ring hung up on the cylinder mouth with "The Hammer". It's such a bummer to crack a ring.

That is more than merely a hammer, that is a work of art.

Hopefully we don't have a guessing game on the engine like we had on the last car moose worked on. Was it a lunar rover???

John, glad to see hammer sales are strong. Do you have enough orders of the punch yet to begin production by chance?
Hi MD11

Going to go with a 2" face and body,then make the weight equivalent to a 40 oz hammer. With a copper face on on side and nylon on the other. Should work out great with the lager bearings and chrome plated pins I get alot.

What Serial Number are you up to now. I would be interested in purchasing #69 if it hasn't already been sold. PM me for payment.
Thanks,
