[TheForge] air hammer

[Kevin D]

Kim,

As Jerry pointed out a box of sand will work, but if you look at a density
table, you'll see that sand mixed with variable sized gravel has the highest
density going.

Another option is a large steel plate.  I managed to find one at a local
scrapyard 3"x 3.5'x 7', weighs ~3500#.

 Now that I have the hammer working right,I find that I need to damp the
 vibration from it.
 1, I can't cut a hole in the floor and pour a couple of yards of concrete
 in it to solve the problem.
 2,soil conditions indicate that I'd have to drive pile to bed rock.
 3, I haven't figured how to put half of the base into another dimension to
 have the havoc go there. :-))
          So here is what I plan to do. put a wood base on 3" of sand and
 1/2" conveyer belting directly under the hammer. Do we have any
 other ideas
 floating around out there that might help?
