First day with a power hammer went sideways, and I'm glad it did

Picked up a used 25lb Little Giant last Tuesday and spent the whole day fighting it instead of forging. The ram stuck twice, I whacked my thumb once, and I got maybe one decent leaf done in six hours. But honestly, that struggle taught me more about hammer control than the last three months on an anvil. Anyone else find the first week with new gear humbling?

That first steep learning curve with any new tool is always the real teacher, isn’t it?
