ha ha.  Right, 58 year old kids  :o).   For me, in this particular  
situation, things worked out better, believe me.  As I stated in the  
earlier email, I liked the Blu, but there were other things to be  
considered.  If I had it all to do over again, I'd still do it the  
same way.  I really like my TC, wouldn't trade or sell, it's perfect  
for me in my situation, so.....there   :o)

Keep in mind that Andy hasnt been able to hold on to either the  
hammer or the compressor....
I know, life is complicated, and stuff happens- but still, geez andy-  
people who live in glass houses, and all that...

Me, I have a big 7 1/2hp 80 gallon compressor, but even so, I went  
for a self contained hammer, and I love it.
I have an Anyang, and it has been no trouble at all.
It runs great, was reasonably priced, and is one of my favorite tools.

There is something about the sound, and vibration, of a self  
contained air hammer that I just really enjoy- and those wimpy modern  
utility hammers just dont have it- that bumpa bumpa bumpa of the  
whole shop dancing, and then, REALLY dancing when the hammering  
begins, is just soothing to me.
I was just down at the Metals Museum in Memphis for Repair Days, and,  
once in while, they had both hammers running- a Sahliner, which is a  
Brian Russel instead of Tom Clark Turkish Self Contained, and an old,  
small, homely Kuhn. And when they both were running, my soul was at  
peace.
Me, I was mostly tig welding.
