[TheForge] power hammer FS in AL

[David E. Smucker]

I think Mark Gardner, (the othe half of Mark and Mindy Gardner) has one of 
these hammers in their shop in Illinois.  It came out of an industrial forge 
shop and Mark rebuilt it.  A really nice heavy hammer and a joy to see 
operate.  If someone wants operational information I think I can find Mark's 
email address some place around here. (I've been cleaning up and can no 
longer find anything.)
