[TheForge] Treadle Hammers, more questions

Fri Mar 21 01:42:01 2003

As far as the adjustable treadle goes,
If you can make it that way, do so.
 For the most part you will not use it
as it is simpler to make the tooling all
the same for your hammer. The stock you
work on it will probably be pretty mucht
he same thickness, varying in no great
degree from the mid range piece you use
to determine your standard tool size.

However, every once in a while it will
come in handy. At those times you would
much rather have it than not.
