Don, the price is not much more than you would pay these days for a new 110 pounder like Cliff has. The size and the power requirements would be the killer even if it is in perfect working order. There are some of us out there who do production damascus work that could use a monster like that, but not many.

Correction, not enough hammer and too much money. :) If my quick math is right a 150 ton press would out work it and for a lot less money.

I still wouldn't mind having one since I'm a power hammer nut. :p Would put the 150# fairbanks to shame.
 
Man, it actually looks to be complete and in good shape too...I need a rich uncle who wants to foster my creativity...or maybe....anybody need a kidney? :D

Dan, I would put my money on the hammer in a head to head speed forging contest:)

Joe, with my 'too much money' comment, I was considering, purchase price, plus moving this monster, plus foundation and set-up.

I would love a large power hammer but my 100 lb Little Giant will forge anything that will fit in my forge (4" square or round). Have had the chance to buy several larger hammers (150-500 lb) but my 100 will do everything I need. I actually have another 100 LG on the way and it's brand new :cool:

I always thought that you went a little overboard on your foundations, especially for the 25 pounder.:D With that said, you would need one hell of a slab for that Chambersburg!!!!!
 
Joe, you are probably thinking of my 100 lb foundation.

My 25 is mounted on wood...

If that's too little hammer for anyone, then they are moving some insane steel! :eek: :)

The local Reynolds Aluminum plant shut down and sold a 750# Chambersburg for $600!!!! I missed that part of the auction by about 5 minutes.

Even at a $600 sale price, like Don said you have to hire a rigging company that will bring in a big flat-bed, a crane (or at least one serious boom truck) and then build a shop AROUND THE HAMMER. :)

So all of a sudden your $600 hammer cost $40,000. ;)

Russell Jaquas (RIP) had a 750# and a Nazel 3B in his shop when I went up and bought my anvil from him.... and those are two insanely serious hammers.

Don, I'm still jealous about your brand new 130-40ish (?) pound LG coming from Sid. You suck! :p :D

BTW- Joe, if you read the LG rebuilding book, it has original LG specs in the back, and they recommend a pretty damn stout foundation under even the 25. I think the recommended slab for the 100 is roughly 3' wide, 5' long, and about 3' deep.
