This should rock the mountain

[Mark Williams]

Hey Jim,

Figure out how much black powder it would take to land it on a pad in the barn. Heck with an anvil shoot

Maybe just dig a tunnel and hoist it up though the hole ?

 

[crex]

Uuhhhhhhh.....................relocate the barn?!?!?!
(that only took five cold units to work out)

See I told you Stock Removal is the easy way.........

I'll tell you what, that is the last piece of heavy equipment I deliver to Marks house. That poor little old truck didn't like those mountain roads. Then there was the driveway. Needed a running start to get up the thing, in reverse.

Thats a beefy hammer, Mark. Good thing you aint got any neighbors!

I.G The last patent date was 1919.

Larry , I'll see what I can find out on die measurements.

Hey A friend gave me a piece of what he called a billet of AISI A8. He thought I could slice off pieces and forge blades from it..... But I think it is a die from some kind of hammer. Haven't measured it yet but it's to big for my 25 lb Little Giant. I'll get a pict and some measurenments and post later tonight. Might be one of my easier winter projects.

Deker, that's the Bradley "upright" helve. Anvil is forward on the trailer, slides under hammer head.

Ok, makes a little more sense now. Helve hammers are just cool in concept. I'd love to see one run (or better yet, get to use one! )

Thanks Larry,

I'll see if I cant get a measurement. The slots on the hammer and anvil are dovetailed just slightly. I would hate to guess the angle.??

Still havent gotten the base up the hill yet. Got rained out for a bit. It's get there soon though

It's 5" long, 3 1/16" wide and 2 7/16" high. No tapers but We can fix that.
