    Michael, I see that you have once again re-set your upper limits with this latest hammer. Can't wait to see that thing in action. -DB

    From the ebay listing: "Up for your consideration is a Metal-Munching Beast of a Power Hammer. Not to be used by mortals". Apparently, not meant to be used by anyone needing to get actual work done either.

    Wow, I'm really late to the party here...Peter, did you get the Bradley up and running? Great looking hammer, I'm jealous! -DB

    Nice looking hammer. Bradley made solid hammers that were built to work. You'll be a happy camper when you get it running. -DB

    Michael, Thanks for the call today. Good to hear from you. I've been nose to the grindstone, sparks flying out and haven't had much time to spend over here. Looks like I've missed some cool stuff! This project looks fantastic. Great subtle curving forms on a large scale- not easy to accomplish. That rivet is a beast. I look forward to seeing this thing standing. -DB

    Very nice looking Mac! Well executed.

    Glenn, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

    I have 4 100# propane tanks. I run these on my forges and my oxy-propane torch setup for heating. I converted from oxy-acetylene to oxy-propane last year in an attempt to simplify the fuel requirements for the shop. I refill when I empty 2 tanks.

    Congratulations on the commission Mike. Great video, nice to see your babies all together in one place. You definitely have a "style". -DB

    Beautiful work Mike. It is the attention to the details that really set your work apart. That is an interesting blend of products you use in the finish...with great results. I think we all struggle with how to avoid paint. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the install. -DB

    When did my name change from Dave to John...? Hey, we're all cheap, frugal, savvy, whatever you want to call it. Most of us do not have an unlimited budget when it comes to tools, (whether we want to admit it or not- LARRY). Sometimes, it's OK to wait for the great deal, sometimes you just need to pull the trigger. I rarely regret my purchases, it is the ones that I passed on that come back to haunt me... -DB

    Larry, I'm finding it hard to believe that you would even consider not getting the biggest machine possible...is this the kinder, gentler Monster...? -DB

    Beautiful.

    Mike, I think I have a VHS copy of it laying around the house somewhere as well. Unfortunately, I don't have a VHS player to play it in. The fit up on your parts is superb. I especially like the two overlaps that go above and below plane. Really nice touch.

    Mike, I confess, I stole that ball drilling jig from your modern masters segment. Still use it today. It's a good one. DB

    I think "clean" often gets mistaken for "organized". It's not that hard to push a broom around and clean the shop. It takes some effort to stay organized. Nice work BTW, always a treat to see your stuff in progress. -DB

    Just fantastic. The time lapse was super entertaining and very effective as well. I would like to know a bit more about the backing as well... -DB

    Bar oil on the 100# Bradley babbitt and ram linkages. HD grease w/moly on the flywheel bushing and treadle linkages, Lithium on the idler pulley.

    Happy birthday Grant. For a guy who pre-dates dirt, you still seem pretty lucid. Have a great day. -DB

    David, it still boggles my mind how you manage all this in 400 sf. Now, every time I find myself complaining that I think I need more space, I look at some of the work you've produced in that tiny shop and shut my mouth (and all without a Hofi hammer...amazing!!!)
  21. David Browne
    Outstanding Larry!

    100lb compact.

    Funny, how so many times the simplest jig or tool is more often than not, the first one that you reach for. 4 platens in a row...soooooo jealous. -DB
  24. David Browne
    I am truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing such a personal tragedy and reminding us all how fragile this life really is.

    Celtic, If you are hoping for someone to "talk you down" into buying the smaller, more economical, completely practical, sensible hammer....well...good luck with that on this forum. -DB
