[TheForge] Self contained hammer was a yak

Mon Nov 17 18:26:01 2003

Yes, I'm headed along the Massey route that Frosty has discussed. I 
think mine has a 40 pound ram. Right now I have the I beam column and 
bottom anvil attached to the base plate. Most of the machining is done 
on the ram and guide sleeve. So I'm pretty far along, just need to 
develop some spare time to work on it again. We're just about dug out 
from moving (or maybe we're going to quit for awhile!).
