Any thoughts on a phys rep for a blacksmith hammer, for repairing armour? Not sure what to bring for that.
You could bring two pillars and use them as your tools and touch up peoples chain mail or just make a non-cored little hammer.
Ok what I'm bringing is a wooden hammer, I'm also bringing foam and tape should I need to modify.
All I did for my character with blacksmithing was take about a 4.5" piece of CPVC (weapon core) and stick a rectangular block of open cell foam on one end. Brown duct tape on the shaft and standard duct tape on the foam block.
Other people do all manner of things, like carrying a round a small pair of pliers.
For the weekend I used that wooden hammer without modification, and it seemed to be generally accepted. Let's just say I didn't hear any complaints in my smithing duties during battle.
As long as you tap on someone's armor, people don't really mind what your hammer is made of.
