[TheForge] Power hammer anvil

Wed Oct 29 13:18:02 2003

Dave/Dan:  I would agree with Dave...bolt the hammer to concrete.  I also
added a gasket of 1/2" A/C plywood and used 1/2" x 4" expanding concrete
anchors to pin my 25# LG to the 3' concrete deck.  Floor weight of the
hammer is 900#.  So far, so good.
