Let me ask you a question, on your fugio or bellows how did you mount the valves? What did you use to secure them? Also does the Intake valve and outlet valve have to be the same size?
It doesn't work as well as I would like. The handle material needs to have about the same expansion rate as steel or else it will loosen. The Japanese method of a tapered bamboo peg actually works better than this imo. I need to find a better way so the wedge doesn't loosen.

You clearly are very comfortable with that Japanese style hammer. Did you make it and if so what inspired you to give it that curve?
Love the ant-eater hammer ,like a dog head but way longer
Wes,

To do a forged finish on small parts, use a torch.
It would be great if I had one, I need to buy a bottle.
I’ve been on the same train of thought above knives easily able to be disassembled lately

Actually the tapered bamboo idea was my next attempt....
