[TheForge] Power hammers

[Bob Ehrenberger]

The early Turkey hammers required a lot of work, but Tom Clark did that in 
his shop before delivery to the end customers.  He got involved in the 
quality control at the factory and fixed most of their problems in 
manufacturing.  Even those Tom would check out and adjust before delivery.

Now that Tom is gone Bob Alexander has taken over the Turkey power hammer 
business.  I don't know if he is still importing them, or just selling out 
the stock that Tom had on hand when he died.  He still runs an ad in the BAM 
newsletter, I'll ask him next time I see him.

What ever happened to the self contained hammer that was made in
Turkey? The quality was good as I remember. None of this tear it down
and rework it out of the crate.
