    I had read of the 6,7, and 800 lber. I knew you wondered if anybody had a line on a 1000 lber. Did you find a 1000 lber?

    Was it the older chunky style? Did it have a pritchel hole? Did it have a multi piece top plate? I think very old PW's had their name on the other side.

    I knew there were two brands with flats on their feet, Peter Wright and German built Trenton's, but by the picture, there's three.

    I have had a large part in building 8 tire hammers. The blueprint is for 1 hp., which is fine, a 1 1/2 hp is available new with the same 7/8 shaft. It is the same physical size and frame. I would lean towards that. My two hammers have 1 hp motors, which I bought used at the flea market $15 - $30 each. Make sure the're 1725 rpm.

    I just ordered an Elmer Roush fully decorated $200 hammer. Need? no, wanted, yes.

    Saw the tubing inside vertically through the tubing thickness, as deep as it is screwed in, with a sawzall or jigsaw and a metal blade. You have to go all the way through the tubing thickness, which includes the pipe threads. Take a punch and cave the tubing inward.

    I would say it is a valve seat stone dresser. A lot of engine valve seats are 30 degrees and 45 degrees. Does the end of the black screw have a diamond for dressing grinding stones?

    Are the burner tubes insulated at the winged bolt holders, so that extra air doesn't get in?

    I made two a year ago, I always make two and keep one, for a Christmas exchange present at blacksmith get together. I never thought about it, but it is left handed also. I coated it with beeswax.

    There was a barbed wire, at my father in law's farm, strung between two trees. One of the trees was was struck by lightning. The wire disappeared. I picked up barbs every 6 inches off the ground. No wire to be found.

    Thomas, I have that book and looked on page 44. It reads: " sawmill would have been equipped with the newer circular saw rather than the familiar up and down saw which remained in use throughout the nineteenth century, and in places, well into the twentieth century. The up and down saw was a broad strip of iron or steel with large teeth in one edge. Driven by water power it slowly cut large logs into boards".

    I really think it was a vertical up and down saw blade.
