Half way up a ( HOW TALL TREE ? )

Forging Carver

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.

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

That looks like a comfortable place to use in any weather
