As far as forearms are concerned there is the following drills that most people do. 1.) Wrist curls 2.) The ever fun Rice Bucket for those pitchers The other dril I know which is going to be strange to many of you Yankees down there is take a Hockey stick, (ya know the long piece of wood with a curved end that those crazy Canadians use on that indoor frozen pond called a hockey arena to chase around a little black puck) and take some rope and attach weights to either end of the stick and curl the rope up and then uncurl it around the stick a few times and then when you can do 3 sets of 12 increase the weight thats on the end of the stick, keep the stick arms length away from you and raised at shoulder height. Hope this helps

Basically all there is for weights is wrist rolls and curls using various standing/sitting motion. For example with wrist rolls you can stand, holding a bar with a free weight attached on a rope to the bar, and roll your wrists up and down. Or you can kneel/sit down in front of a bench or table, with your arms straight laying on the bench or table, and hold a barbell over the edge of the table and do rolls that way. Other things are the rice bucket, and Ted Williams says he used to do finger-tip pushups and squeeze rubber balls to develop his wrist and forearms.

I believe hammer curls are arm curls while sitting down with the dumbells held down at your sides. You start and finish the curl with the palms facing in toward each other. Arm curls primarily target the biceps, but by angling your foreaems so the palms face each other helps target the upper forearms, the muscles just below the biceps under the elbow.
