For me, it's always the same: I more or less know what I need to do the  
job, and it's always a big struggle to kick the money loose to buy it-  
once I do, I have never looked back, always been glad I bought the tool.
Sure I can hand hammer the heck out of 1/2" stock, but I find that I do  
just about all my forging other than very thin stuff and finish on my  
LG25. Not that I'd trade having learned how to do relatively heavy forging  
by hand, there's just nothing like it for learning how hot steel moves...
Just figure out how to get a hammer and you'll never regret it- buying a  
ready-to-work LG is a great strategy. If you have work, you need to get a  
hammer and put it to work, not spend weeks trying to get a hammer built.

My $.02, currently trading at $.0000001 on the NYSE
