Hi Isaac,

I am not allowed to disclose the details.
All I can say here is that it is a magnificent new invention, resulting 
in perfectly controlled hammers.
Of course hammer making is a very complex process, and, as history 
shows, it may take a hundred years to reach perfection.

so, I'll raise my glass with in it the most delicious Italian Abbruzo 
and toast to perfection!

Santé!
