Butch, excellent execution of that twist, that one is fun and like you said very simple, I like my treadle hammer for twists like that.

Thanks Sam,I actually do all the chiseling with a hand hammer.I have a treadle hammer ,but seldom use it.A friend and I built 2 and this was after we built our tirehammers,which I use the crap out of,couldn't do without it now.I use the treadle for doing my touchmarkand that's about it---Regards Butch
