Welcome Damien!
Yup, June 24 is the date at Rozelle. There are quite a few 'smiths lurking all over Sydney, just no organisation...;) A great contact point is the TAFE at Ultimo, where apprentices, small business guys and hobbyists of every level go to classes.
see ya bout the traps,

G'day woody,
that old cattle-dog does sound interesting, i'm a sucker for dirty old pics.
Here be a picture in our gallery to prove big hammers have been run on air-

Unfortunately I couldn't find out the size of the compressor, very big but not massive, if u know what I mean. Just outside the building from the 'shop were two air receivers about 4' dia by 8' long, apparently that is the secret; big volume is at least as important as pressure.
enjoy,
A.
PS, RIP Grant, he was a delight to read, and set the best example- share your knowledge, nay expertise, and the world is a better place.

Looks great. I'm sure you will do good with it.
...just had a thought; what about a home building a power conversion to suit that adaptable looking flywheel? I've forgotten the best proper name for them, but they have been posted on IFI before.
regs,
Andrew.
