[TheForge] air hammer

[Jerry]

         Yes a wooden box with lots of sand in it and a floater or a wider 
pad under the base plate to spread out the impacting, this can be wood. My 
sand box has 250 pounds of sand in it, and my son and the cat have to be 
kept away from the sand box. No vibration doing this. my hammer is 10 
inches higher than if it sat on the floor.
