    Great looking forge, I've never worked from a coal forge. I've done all my learning and personal hammering from gas forges. I'll have to check into the availability and cost of coal compared to propane.

    I found the BP for the treadle yours is based on ApprenticeMan, one thing I'm wondering about are the springs. I'm assuming 2? None of the pictures make it clear that there are indeed 2 springs being used. Also how strong should the springs be rated? I found several suppliers of garage door extension springs with ratings from 10 lbs. up to 220 lbs. I'm thinking, roughly twice the weight of the hammer?

    Thanks Mills, I'll dig into the archives and see what I can find before I ask anything new on that.

    As it would be a first attempt, I wasn't planning on making more than one. If the first one came out decent and someone thought they wanted me to make one for them, I might consider it at that point but I doubt anyone would be interested in paying what a Centurion cost for a treadle hammer made by me!:D

    I took another course from Jerry Culberson at the Old Cedar Forge in Allyn, Wa. the end of Oct. and used a Centurion the entire time. I liked it! I'd get one if it was in my budget but I think making a treadle hammer will come first. Larry

    I don't yet own a mig welder but plan on getting one. What is the minimum needed to weld project like this? Larry

    I'm considering building a treadle hammer and yours looks the best and most straight forward of all the ones I've seen to date. A couple of questions though. How heavy is the hammer part and roughly how much force do you get out of it? Also with the treadle / pedal so close to the upright does that make working on longer pieces a problem? Thanks! Larry
