[TheForge] Treadle Hammers, more questions

Fri Mar 21 06:52:00 2003

I built an inline with plans from Clay Spencer - nine or ten dollars - and
they are well worth it.  The inline may not hit as hard as others, but for
me I love the thing and use it frequently.  Best investment I ever made
(besides the 304 lb Peter Wright!)
