Look in the IForgeIron blueprints for helve hammers. Irnsrgn has a design (or 2) posted. Also look over the blueprints for power and tredle hammers, several are shown.

the 'tyre' hammer design looks very good, and simple. A gentleman called Clay Spencer runs workshops building these for what looks to be a reasonable price. I am sure the plans are available for sale somewhere (I am sure it will 'google')

Gday Hammerkid, You could look at the Anvilfire site, there was/is a series on junkyard hammers there, lots of pics, and some how-to info. From memory, no "plans" but if you look around enough, and add 2 & 2, you should be able to figure out the bulk of the design. Ask here for specific details you can't figure out. Personally I think this makes it a more interesting project, a better talking point (ok blowing your own trumpet;-), and you will learn oh so much from it. Good luck & kind regards, Rusty_iron, Brisbane, Oz. |

Gday Hammerkid, I'd keep the treadle hammer and build a power hammer from scratch. Treadle hammers are oh so useful and handy, if you convert it, you'll just have to build a new one later, so why not just keep the one you have? Regards Rusty_iron, Brisbane, Oz. |
