[TheForge] Air Hammer Anvil ? Previous 2 mails didn't work...

[Madmike]

Hi everybody,

I read this letter since about 6 months now, a bit shy I didn't wrote
before, but have found many answers in your words. So let's introduce
myself, I' Madmike, a French horse farrier (I've stopped, tired of
driving 3 hours a day) turning to blacksmithing and bladesmithging. I'm
'junkyarding' the parts to build up an air hammer and have found a
Forklift counterweight coming from the smallest 'gasoline' poewered ones.
I'm wondering what kind of material is used to make these 'so desired one
Big block' and how much it could weight (to size up the trailer I need to
borrow). I hope it's not 'casting' (I hope casting is what I mean, this
fantastically brittle black stuff used to make stoves or heavy pans) as I
doubt it could kiss a 160lbs ram 200 times a minute. I've read somewhere
here that Frosty (if my memory is good) would have used one if he had
Found one so I imagine it can do the trick.
Well I Hope my rusty English is still good enough to be understood, I 
Wish you a nice day.
Madmike.
