I for one will probably never get a power hammer.

On the other hand, I really like seeing demos involving power hammers.

The place to have power hammer demos is in shops that have power hammers.  

We have several such in the greater NJ area, and they have been appropriately used in demos over the years.

Presumably, most other areas of the country can boast the same.

Bottom line suggestion:  Drop power hammers from official ABANA demos (at fairgrounds, etc.) unless some outside agency (commercial vendor, most likely) sees to the details of getting it there and seeing it operates.

What is the percentage of artist blacksmiths who have industrial power hammers?
How many ABANA members, or regional organization members have--or ever plan to
acquire--an industrial power hammer? If the percentage is as low as I suspect,
than why are these power hammers given such a high priority at blacksmith
conferences?
