Thanks Thomas. I just received a message from James at Anyang USA. He had a contact over in China give me some info. The factory is long gone. I will have to make the parts if I ever need them. It is a powerful hammer.
-
I am not sure what you mean. All I want is to find what part of China this came from. Factory name. Is it compatible with Anyang or the other big name chinese hammers. My location should not be relevant.

My 15n20 does not etch dark. Comes out light.

Jose Gomez in New Mexico is hard to beat. I know there are many amazing smiths but he is a master of traditional and modern metal working. To top all of that off he is a top notch knife maker and a very decent human being.

If you and I lived near each other we would probably be friends. I have found that some times us blacksmiths can be outspoken and hard as hammers. The fact that you cared enough to sincerly apologize shows me you are one of the good ones! Thanks

If you are ever in the Bellevue area feel free to stop by the forge. I have an old 141 lb Mousehole anvil and a post vise that are priced to move fast. I am also a Maba member.Advice is always free here!

It would have made Salvador Dali Happy.

It is time to make a big hand made padlock for my cabin door. Anyone have pics,plans or advice?

10 knives a week,some blades are forged close to shape and other pattern welded billets are stock removal. I'll go 2 hp. One more question though-If the kmg style is made from heavy 1/2'' aluminum will it be rigid enough? I thought it would be but wanted to ask first.
-
I have decided to stop being lazy and just build a kmg style grinder. Is 1 hp enough or should I go bigger? My Dart speed controller is rated 110 up to 1 hp and 220 over 1hp. I was hoping to stay 110 but am always open to suggestions. Thanks

I buy them from the scrap yard.

Steve's advice is good. Pattern welds need to be worked HOT. Get that metal soft and pliable. Jose Gomez burned this in my brain. I have lost some neat projects to red heat and inpatients.
