Turnbull tig-welded some metal into the dished faces of the hammers, filed the faces smooth and then rehardened. I might add that the hammers took three trips to his shop to get it right, but he stood by his initial charge. In the end the problem was solved, Doug explained that there is a fine line to get the hardening just right, too soft and the problem will persist, too hard and they become brittle.
