I normalized the hammer. I ll probally hardend it and temper and handle next couple days.

I got the SS and made 1 leaf yesterday evening, more to come and will get pics asap. Going try to get em done and mailed out first of the week.

I like mine at my wrist height which is about 32" so my new anvil satnd is 20" tall since ho wthe anvil is 12" tall. But its what is comfortable to you.

Mine is made out of 1/4" mild steel sides and 3/8" stainless steel bottom. It has held up well. May build another soon and try to put a clinker breaker in it.

Now your a GENUIS!!!!! I`ll have to remeber that Peyton. LOL:D

It really depends on the lenght of the stock. If I do wear a gloves I only wera one on my tong or stock holding hand.

1st off the slitter that will be used is only about 1 " long anyways . And I have used a friends tire hammer and liked it a lot.

Well, I talked to a smith that lives sorta close to me and decieded to build a tire hammer . Going order the plans ASAP. And going build it at his shop and he is going help round of metal and parts for it. Thanks for the input.

Alright . I have decided that a power hammer of MY own at my OWN shop would make my life MUCH easier. But I am having a problem on decideng what would be BEST for me. I want it to be able to draw stuff out, and want to also use SOME tooling , for slitting hammer eyes, etc. Would a Tire hammer or would Jr`s Helve hammer be best for what I`am looking for? I would prefer the helve cause the size . But not real sure about using slitter and stuff under it cause the way the head comes down, then the question of can a Clay spencer Treadle hammer be able to slitt hammer eyes? Chris

sounds good
