[TheForge] Fw: Fw: Blacksmithing, treadle hammer

[David E. Smucker]

Bob,  Besides Clay's design that I talked about below,  Mark Gardner as made 
some very nice swing arm hammers -- He is in Farmer City, IL.  You might 
talk with him -- don't know if there is a set of plans for what he has made 
or not.

I like Clay's design for general and heavy work.  I like Mark's hammer for 
fine and detailed work.  That is what Mindy has always used.

Dave
