Yes, a caulking hammer used in the shipyards during WW II for caulking the seams on wooden minesweepers.
When I was going to school in Albuquerque, some of us shared an apartment. the Maintenance man used to work in the ship yards in San Diego and he showed me some of his tools and talked about making the keel of the minesweepers. At the time, I was too young and stupid to appreciate what he was telling me about precision handwork.INDECISION IS THE KEY TO FLEXIBILITYComment
