[TheForge] power hammer

Fri Jan 16 08:19:00 2004

Bob,
     I built my own version of a NC-JYH power hammer from anvilfire. 

You can see a picture of mine at http://www.irontreeworks.com/the_shop.htm.  It 
works great though it does walk a bit if the metal I'm hitting is too cold.

You can see the original at www.anvilfire.com 

I built mine using just the pictures on Anvilfire and looking at designs of 
others to get an understanding of the importance of various processes.  (like 
the slide)

I bought the plans for the Rusty and to be honest, though I was really 
disappointed with the plans (just sketches for $22), I thought that I might 
build one of those next but after the latest discussions I think that maybe I 
won't.  The author wrote on the plans that if you have questions you should 
call him, but when I called him he hinted that I must not be "mechancially 
inclined" if I need his help.  Jeesh!

Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one 
trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy�ooh hoo hoo hoo�the 
sky's the limit!
