power hammer, or get your own place?

[Sam Salvati]

Sam just drive up and use mine. The electrician is coming on friday and I'm talking to a machinist for new dies on wensday. If you do get a hammer start looking now and you should find a good deal within two years, I paid $4800 when the motor alone should fetch up to $4000... Just a matter of looking hard enough I guess.

Plus its a #150, that's reason enough just to drool over it.

BTW I think I've found a supplier of iron ore pellets in the US, this should shorten up the wait until the smelt.

Be a PITA to keep driving back and forth, but it is tempting, all 150 pounds of hitty goodness .

Let me know as much ahead of time when you are going to smelt Dan, that is gonna be a hoot.

I just did a little math and the hammer hits with about 79 newtons at full bore... I dropped out of physics but just looking at the hammer scares me. Well your welcome to come up for a weekend, I'm sure that 15 to 30 hours of hammering will offset the cost of the gas. :thumbup:

The guy is still working on getting the ore pellets and I'm making a new retort that will produce about 210 pounds of charcoal per burn... Once I have the materials in hand I will set up a date about 3 weeks away, would that be enough time?
