[TheForge] on death and dying.OT

[Grover Richardson]

My brother, in the wheel chair, is (if I remember correctly) an ADA type
inspector for Georgia.  If you want to contact me off list, I can give him a
list of your questions and see what he has to say.

IMHO A lightweight power hammer, a mini power hammer, might be just the
thing.  Just enough to make it easy to control the piece, but small enough
to be carried, set up, and possibly run off of a standard generic home
garage 115 Vac compressor.  That would make it portable.

I have no expeorience with this, but thinking on it, on ething that 
seems to stand out immediately would the advantage of having an anvil 
that would sit near or even over the lap.\. or in some orientation that 
would not force the chairbound smith to have to bend forward or to the 
side in any excessive fashion in order to hammer.  What do you all think 
of this?
