I have been blacksmithing on the side for about a year now. I have been able to find most of my tooling such as anvils, fullers, forge supplies, but I am wanting to upgrade my shop a bit. I would like to get some heavy machinery, a power hammer, a press, etc. That being said I am having trouble finding these tools. In the area that I live tools like that are not common. How do you guys suggest I find some of these tools at a reasonable price. I would like to get a hammer that was factory made, but it does not have to be in great shape. I can rebuild it if need be, but i don't want a homemade setup.
Where to find power hammers
in Power Hammers, Treadle Hammers, Olivers
