[TheForge] scroll machine/ power hammer

Mon Feb 2 12:26:00 2004

I aplogize for the mistake.  Perhapes the maker of the Rusty saw yours and 
based his on it.  Otherwize I guess that it could be an example of parallel 
evolution.:)  
    I can't figure what some of the supports are for.  It kind of looks like a 
classic treadle hammer with the spring setup that is similar to a Rusty.  The 
gap in the ram head for teh spring seems awfully big.  Does the spring slap 
against the ram on both the hit and the return.  It looks like it would be 
loud! But with such a thick spring I am guessing hits pretty hard.  

Where is your shop?
