Greetings Yesteryear,

Another great job from Yesteryear. It looks to have some interesting features and the finish is over the top.. I would like to see it up and running.. Kinda looks like a big G2 .. LOL. 

Have a great Holliday 

Forge on and make beautiful things

I Built that in 2006

The whole back of the hammer is an air tank ( you can see three 1 inch rods in the side that go all the way thru to help to keep the air pressure from bulging them out )

That way I had the air compressor feeding the hammer tank so the air only had to travel about 12 inches to the cylinder which helped on the drag on the compressor ( I ran it on a 5 hp compressor )

The finish is STEEL - IT   --- 316 stainless steel two part epoxy paint.

I don't have it anymore as someone wanted it way more than I did ( ive got the plans and drawings around somewhere but it was built mostly shooting from the hip

Not too hard to build

That was 9 years ago so the costing would be pretty irrelevant now.

The side walls are 3/8 plate and the rest was build mostly from drops and such.

The air valve configuration was from some old ABANA plans.
