[TheForge] power hammer FS in AL

[David E. Smucker]

Dave,  I can remember how big Mark's hammer is -- maybe 150, maybe bigger. 
Why don't you write him at

 blacksmith at floodplainforge.com

I sure he is not wanting to part with it, but can tell you how much work 
there was in rebuilding the one he has.
