Looking for power hammer to thin stock

[James Arlen Gillaspi]

Hello, everyone, some time back I came across a reference on one of the boards about someone with a power hammer who was helping knifemakers out by flattening 2" (or was it 3"?) alloy bar down to something useable. Does anyone remember who that might have been?

Thanks,

James

Stacy is right, Michael has forged a bunch of the 2.5" W2 I've been selling and everyone has been happy with his work.

Here's his thread on Fogg's forum; http://forums.dfoggknives.com/index....pic=13436&st=0

P.S. I live in Albany, NY, and I strongly suspect that several someones around here have hammers. Paul Champagne lived nearby, but I never did bump into him before he passed away.

I live 2.5 hours north east of Albany. What size and alloy do you have and what size do you want?
