Yeah, go for youtube and check out Conan, he has a number of videos on there. Some of the makers on here have pages with links to their videos as well.

Mike, just a series of photos on my site; http://www.sunfishforge.com/hansonpowerhammer.html

It's a few years old, I need to update it with more photos.

Here's a thread I did a while back, forging large stock with a 25 lb LG.

I'll put together a more intense power hammer forging series this fall.

Don, When you up date make sure you show us a few pictures of you working all 3 hammers at the same time.

Ray, that would make an interesting picture

I do my distal tapering, cutting edge tapering, and tang drawing all by going back and forth from my 50LG and press.
I've never seen a video, just had Don explain it to me and then figured that's what everybody did!
