Default BIG BLU air hammer!!
Well I finally made the leap from a mechanical hammer to a pnumatic unit. My new Big Blu 155# came in on Friday morning, and after 3 days of rearanging stuff I managed to get it installed. Man what a difference!!! EXELENT controll coupled with TONS of power! Im really looking forward to exploring the limits of my new equipment. Looks like I have a whole lot of work ahead of me!!

Thomas, I'll let you know as soon as I get some more details on the hammer.

ApprenticeMan.........Thanks! The roling mill was a gift from a friend. It has turned out to be a really neat tool for making perfectly flat billets and drawing material out verry quickly. you can easily double or tripple the lenth of a piece in one heat with no noticable change in width.

I know that the tools don't make the blacksmith makes the tools, but good tools make it easier for the smith to produce more and better tools.... it's a vicious circle...
