[TheForge] ALT Treadle Hammer Springs

[Jerry Frost]

Unless it's been debugged and resurrected the shock 
absorber in the JYH linkage was removed shortly after 
it was tried.

Jock would know for sure though.

Yes, that was the original thought and wouldn't make 
much sense...

Now that I think of it, I thought I saw a design for a 
junkyard hammer
that used a shock absorber or two to mount a weight for 
the hammer
head... li,ke the springs in a Little Giant. I don't 
remember where I
saw it, but I think there was a video. It looked like 
it would easily be
leathal to use, so maybe that's not such a good idea 
either...
