A local rancher ran over a black bear and the only thing he had to put it out of its misery was a lathing hatch. He boiled the skull and put it on his mantel, hatchet marks included.

That is TOO cool!!!

As made by Vaughan, the only difference between a lathing hammer and a shingling hammer is they do not drill and tap the three holes for the shingle overlap measuring stud in lathing hammers. Even though dry wall replaced plastering over lathing strips a long time ago Vaughan still sells both. Vaughan will drill and tap the holes in their old lathing hammers.
