[TheForge] test again

[Jerry Frost]

I see a lot more 50# than 25# LGs but after getting a 
copy of "The Little Giant "Powerhammer" I discover the 
50#s outsold all the other sizes put together, it was 
the first size produced and the lst size produced. 
Anyway, yes they're pretty rare around here and one in 
really good condition is even more rare.

I made it a base by bolting tow lengths of 4" x 12" 
together edge to edge and put a flange on one side to 
pin into one of the gozintas in the floor. When I 
designed the slab I didn't know where I was going to 
put a power hammer specifically or even what I'd get so 
I made the general area 8" thick with #5 rebar on 1' 
centers.

Me too, the welder's doing everything else perfectly 
except making amps on the 240v plug. I was seriously 
tempted to either change the wiring in the motor to 
120v or splice the 120v legs together to make 240v. 
Then I decided discression was the better part of valor 
and hauled it to the pros.

Yeah, I check here daily but tend to hang at IFI, there 
are a LOT more people needing help there and seeing as 
they aren't already well versed in the craft I can spin 
some fun tales for them. <evil grin>
