Default I'm new and cant face the fact that I´m a craftsman

My education is collision repairer and a machinist but actually I have never used the body repair side until now at the age of 30. I stated to build cars as Lorries and other heavy vehicles like TV broadcasting lorry and for examples caravans and I did a lot of welding in the tree main metals. So I missed out all the body betting but it is coming back. Now I spent the winter studying engineering but the workshop is my home. I have always likes sheet metal fabrication so I’m starting now and bought may first body repair hammer set and it was from snap on(It was on a special offer otherwise it would have been something else) and the crown is not polished so what have you masters been doing to your hammers.
Looking forward to next week end as it is rear motorcycle fender test.
Regards
Gunnar
