[TheForge] Kim's power hammer

[kim george]

I'd tell you but,I'm having a senior moment. I got the plans from the ABANA 
web site.It cost about $1000 to build but I didn't spend time scrounging 
the steel. The air cylinder and valving cost $400-$500 because I was 
playing around with the valving sceam .
