[TheForge] I actually get to buy a new power hammer.

Todd,

I got to see Dereck Glaser's hammer in Maine when I went to Ralph's forging
class this last fall.  It's a Striker from China and while running, at rest,
the tup is down resting on the anvil, for safety reasons.  Made sense to not
be up while idling.
