John C;
Yup. Chuck Simoneon has the cutest little  spiffed out Bradley helve 
hammer ,20#(?) running on a small hit and miss. It is all mounted on a 
welded base, painted Brit racing green and literally pinstriped. As 
noted, there is a lag between load and rpm compensation...not sure that 
isn't a feature though. He has brought it to a couple of CBA meets. 
Funny to see a buncha hairy blacksmiths standing around making noises 
like a gaggle of little girls with a new doll ( but dropped a few octaves).
