I figure I am always checking ebay for a good deal on forging hammers (air, mechanical, self-contained), but I am never bidding because of lack of funds...

 

I am going to post links to hammers with thier start and end dates, and thier locations for those who might be interested.

 

This is in no way to my own benifit.

Blade

The blade, elegant
Slicing through the sweet, warm breeze
with a precise hit.

Gold for the merchant, silver for the maid;
Copper for the craftsman, cunning at their trade.
Good! Laughed the baron, sitting in his hall;
But steel---cold steel---shall be master of them all!

ahh..

 

I thought the guy was refering to the condition of the hammer.

 

Hard to tell from the pictures, but I would say its not in "perfect condition".

 

But seriously this looks like it might be a step up from the little giant 25#.

 

Anyone run one of these hammers before?

 

 

And thank you Mr. Clark for clearing that up.

It is pretty high, but the hammer looks in good condition.

 

I would rather put that 7000 towards a Say-Mak though...

That's a fine lookin 100 LG but I don't like the sideways pictures.:)

 

Also a little high, but if it was rebuilt right, it's worth the price.

Dang, my father in law and I were talking yesterday about him getting a helve hammer. He's a hobby smith but his bad shoulder prevents him from swinging a hammer for very long. He gave me a really nice 4# hammer and a bunch of tongs for Christmas. :D

I am going to build a depew style helve when I get some spare time.

 

heres a link to IforgeIron - Depew

 

The heads weight around 10 lbs, they hit around 300-350 beats per minute. The footprint is very small, and they are only about 4 feet tall. They are supposed to out-draw a 50 lbs LG hammer...

 

I think it would be cool to take to blacksmithing demos, or if you were to be doing simple drawing operations it would be wonderful.

 

Helves are very cool in my opinion.

Have you seen the iforgeiron blueprint of the guy who built the junkyard version Mike?

Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots
