Mark Krause brought his "self contained" air hammer to the Abana
meeting a couple? of years ago. It sounded great. Everybody wanted
one (me too). Great control. No expensive air compressor etc.

The last I heard was that Mark was trying to scale his hammer up to
a larger size. If it ever happened I never heard about it.

So if they are simple why are people still buying air compressors to
run home built air hammers?
