[TheForge] Clutched motor...

OK, so I'm down at the farm today and Butthole's wife has an industrial 
strength Singer sweing machine parked outside in, <gasp> the garden. 
Let us not go into the horror that this represents.  I spied underneath, 
the motor, which I now am in possession of.  It is a 1/3 hp with a 
substantial flywheel and clutch.  It is built like a brick crapper and 
the motor runs like a dream.  Flywheel keeps things lively for about 
three to four minutes after shutting off power.  The joy of well built 
machinery.  I'll take it over contemporary crap any day.

So, what shall I contrive with this?  A 2# power hammer?  Ideas?

Happy New Year everyone.  Hope you're all safe, happy, healthy, and not 
too hung over.
