Na no carpenter., other than fer me own carriages., the hammer would come in handy for smashing the fingers of would be thieves trying to hiest sed swivel mate.

Hey thanks Tropico, I hated the gold color though, so I repainted it.  There's no substitute for polished brass!  It's now Rustoleum metalic bronze.  Looks better  :).  New pictures enclosed.  The other swivel is golf ball caliber.
