    When I started I did it all! Paint...Fab...Built my own motors & Trannys.....Basically because I had no money and wanted Cool stuff so I had to make it myself...... Now I Just make everything Ha!......No Paint or Motors.....My guys at the shop are way better than me than that!...

    Thanks Man! I think the foundation is good to go... its already triple thick. Building was built in 1921 as an Industrial Laundry for the Long Beach shipyard. The pad where I'm putting it held a large crane for loading Train cars. I already have my 125ton deep draw press on the pad...It weighs about the same as the Nazel.....

    Oh yea I think I'm gonna get a Sahinler.....But I also need a BIG one!..Not sure if I even really need a big hammer? I doubt if I will ever make anything that Heavy. Spent the last 20 years trying to make everything smaller and lighter.....Now Heavy Steel! ....

    I want one, but I want to run it on Steam! I have a nice large boiler just waiting for it!
  14. frankyluckman
    Cool! Is that hammer run on Steam or Air??

    ESAB or Miller... I have Both machines and they both work well with Heavy use. Haven't had good luck with Lincolns. Seem to break down a lot. Contact points and foot pedals seem to be a weekness. Buy the Best Machine you can afford....

    Thanks so much for this info! I haven't checked the line pressure yet. But it is getting more than hot enough.....
  21. frankyluckman
    Thanks Man!... I don't know about "Amazing" anyone in Blacksmithing...There is so many Talented people doing it that are decades into it.. I'm just barely learning how to hold and swing the hammer. It is way more difficult than I thought. I have a long road of learning ahead of me, But I'm up for it!..... Guess time will tell..
