Pete -

Go ahead with the hammer, but mount it on a slew of coil truck
springs, like Cheyenne Mountain.  Then if you're really good, you can
set up a resonance while using the thing that will bounce the anvil UP
as hard as the hammer comes DOWN and you'll not only "silence" the
thing vis-a-vis geological effect, but also get a blow twice what you
would normally.  Not to mention it would be way cool.


Way cool for sure....Y'know Bruce, to get the full comic-kenetic effect,
One would really want to use a (Dupont linkage?) type hammer,
like a Little Giant with no safety shield....
I suppose it'd be pretty funny with an 2 piece hammer with only the anvil portion on springs, though.
There have been commercial forging hammers that used opposed moving heads.
