[TheForge] Treadle Hammers, more questions

Fri Mar 21 07:29:01 2003

Without going to the shop to measure I think the base on my hammer is about
32" long, column on one end and anvil on the other, 4" column, 8" anvil so
20" between.  Making the head height adjustable isn't a big production, and
who knows what you will want to stick under there 2 days from now. I'de do
it.
