If you are interested in building a Ron Kinyon Mark II Pnuematic hammer you can contact me at degrub@nwcomm.net . Don't use the other email address that I posted in the forums awhile back. I have built this hammer and know many others who have built them and they are also very satisfied with them. I have also seen the tire Hammers working which operate similar to a Little Giant hammers and I think the Kinyon is the way to go if you want to save time, money and have more flexibility. The Kinyon has plenty of adjustments for head height, stroke length and speed and it takes up about the same amount of room as the tire hammers and. It also uses far fewer parts than the tire hammers. You can also build the Kinyon with an anvil height that is comfortable for you. You can also do a single blow with out any problem and easily use tooling with the head height adjustment. I sell the plans for the Ron Kinyon Mark II with Ron's blessing and I wanted to update my email address since I don't check the one I used in my original post in the forums a few years ago very often.

I have had quite few inquiries for the manual and I am working on an updated revision. I have gathered some additional photos and also cleaned up some of the text. I also have an updated phone number for the company that sells the valve however the web link is still the same. I also have a new email address. You can reach me at degrub@yahoo.com. I have also had some more time to work with the hammer I made and I couldn't be happier! Thanks pbforge

Ron Kinyon plans for his "New Style Pneumatic Hammer" are finally available. Thanks for your patience. The manual is 30 pages of instructions including parts and suppliers list, CAD drawings and 30 hi quality color photos on the last 10 pages. It is assembled and bound in a clear cover folder. I am attaching the table of contents to this post. The price is $30.00 which includes postal fees within the lower 48 states. I will have to let you know actual mailing costs if you want them sent outside the USA so email me if that is the case. As a courtesy to Ron Kinyon I did ask him if he was interested in being a part of releasing the plans but he has other projects he is working on. I also tried to work something out with Glenn here on Iforgeiron but his members store will not be up for awhile yet. I will start sending the plans out on July 1st and you can pay by check, money order or through PayPal to account degrub@frontiernet.net. Send check or money order and return mailing address to: Paul Branch 1310 - 216th Ave New Richmond, WI 54017 You can PM me here or email me directly at degrub@frontiernet.net. I will be off line from June 19th through June 27th and I will not be able to respond to PMs or emails. Thanks, Paul - Pine Bough Forge Table of Contents Rev 1.0.pdf

Some people have been asking about plans for building these hammers. I started putting together the plans last year and I am just going to add a few more photos and they will be complete. I have also been talking with Monty to make sure it was okay with him to go ahead and release them. Monty spoke with Ron Kinyon and called me this morning to tell me Ron gave his approval for me to release them. Ron did specify that the hammer be referred to as the "New Style Ron Kinyon Hammer". The plans include CAD drawings of the main hammer parts with a detailed description of how to assemble everything. I am also including lots of photos.I have contacted Glenn to see about distributing them on Iforgeiron and will update you here when I have more information. Thanks, pbforge pine bough forge
