It was around 13 years ago my wife and I were attending a knife show in St.Louis, I stepped out of our room early one morning and there was a truck parked right in front, with a freshly rebuilt 100 lb LG in the back. I told my wife that I would have one of those one day, she said "you already have one". I said, no, mine's not quite like that 
That was the day I meet Sid Suedmeier from Nebraska City.
A year or so later we went to a hammer rebuilding class at Little Giant, to attend the class and pick up parts for my old 100 lb hammer. Had a great time there and got to know Sid, Mary and Keri. Sid had three new 100 lb frames, that hunted me for years. After much talk and consideration, Sid finially said he'd put my name on one. Two years ago I told Sid I was ready. This past Monday, June 21, Sid and Dave Sloan delivered the new hammer.
This hammer is special to me in a few ways, was built and delivered by good folks, has a few personal touches that really surprised me. It also has a heavy ram, and oversized dies (3"x8"). Ram and die weigh around 140 lbs
OK, enough talk, let's get to some photos.
Look what pulled up in the drive.
More Later.
