Credit for these photos goes to Rob Whitehurst of the gulf coast blacksmiths. This is a japanese "spring" hammer, mostly similar to most mechanicals.

Thanks a lot Sam. I've seen a number of pictures of someone using one but this is the first set that actually shows how the whole thing is put together.
