I just finished a tredal hammer from warner knives you might try there. Larry

Go to warner knives he has photos of the hammer that is painted. My looks the same except it is not painted and is to cold to paint now. I am pleased with the way it turned out. The only thing I changed was adding a receiver hitch to the tredal allowing more leverage. We will have to give it some time to see how it holds up. Larry

Well guys I am pretty well finished with the tredal hammer I mentioned a few weeks ago for my 11-year old grandson. It works pretty well and grandson is out smashing BB's into pennys right now. The plans are pretty good but lack some detail about attaching the tredal, measuresments of pieces and there were a number of usless pictures. I had to add an extension to the tredal part that would allow my grandson to use it. I did this by adding a received to the tredal that a bar could be inserted like a receiver hitch on a car. It added about 16 inches. I would recommend it for anyone as it gets you farther away from the hammer and makes it a lot eaiser to use. The plans were from warner knives. I anyone else builds one let me know how it worked for you. Larry

We are in Grand Junction, Co. My grandson has made some leaves that are pretty good, some knives out of railroad spikes, and is working with a local blacksmith getting community service for demonstrating the trade at a local history museum. He seems pretty interested in blacksmithing and is showing some pride in his work. I presently have the frame built for the hammer and am working on the anvil's with a hardy hole in them. I think there is a picture on Warner Knives of the hammer. Any help would be appreciated if someone has built the hammer and has some diferent ideas. THANKS Larry

I have just started building a warner hammer. Do you have any suggestions or problems you ran ito building the hammer. any help would be appreciated. Thanks Larry

My grandson (11) is into Blacksmithing and I am in the process of building a treadle hammer as a christmas from plans I purchased from Bob Warner. Has anyone built this hammer? If so could you give me suggestions, hints or problems with this hammer. I have the main frame completed and getting ready to build the anvils and the top frame for the hammer. Any help would be apprciated. Thanks Larry
