[TheForge] Trip Hammer Report (Longish)

[schade at acegroup.cc]

I think the fluttering is caused by trying to forge something without 
setting the height of the hammer on the crank. Higher for big stuff, 
lower for small. Try some different sizes of material where it is set 
now. See if it smoothes out on say 1" stock but flutters if you try 
1/2". Trial and error. It won't forge it's whole range without 
adjusting.
