[TheForge] New hammer

[John Newman]

I went with a tubing inside tubing with uhmw between the two for my slider,
similar to Shannel's hammer and the one Ralph is working on.  I  did not use
the Alabama modifications  to the plumbing  and with the very limited testing I
have done there seems to be pretty good contol, especially if I move the roller
valve up for light blows..  The one thing I want to change in the  plumbing is
to put the air supply for my roller valve outside my air shutoff valve so that
it can still trip the 4way valve and drain the rest of the air from the system
for die changes or when I am not using it.
Thank you any one who gave advise on this hammer it helped a lot .
