I think I figured out how to post photos. One is from before I refurbished it and one from after. I dont have many pictures of the hammer, but you can sort of see how it worked. The treadle applied a brake to the off side which engaged the hammer. It was quite controllable and very simple. I regretted selling it for years. -Mike

I had a hammer based on this at one point. I was told it came from a blacksmith shop in Carson City, NV. I sold it years ago when I knew I was going to be moving several times. It was a pleasure to use and hit hard. It was around 60 lbs if I remember right. Mine was driven from a flat belt to a large wheel. I will try to post photos if I can. -Mike
