[TheForge] Anti vibration mountings

[Rich Maynard]

I have borrowed a little Anyang power hammer to try out but it is making too much vibration for the structure of the building which my forge is sited in. The hammer weighs about 500 pounds; the tup is 30lb.

It is part of the old village forge which is now a museum, and the curator thinks the vibration will damage the priceless Tudor wall paintings in the front room.

Is it worth trying some anti-vibration mountings? What is available? Any recommendations? You can see I don't know much...

Cheers,

Rich M.
