ACJ

I built this a couple years ago, it's still in use

Works great, and it's excellent at removing skin when used free hand

The belt size is 2 X 48"

It works alot better than it looks

I'll add info to my avatar once I figure out how. 

I'm retired and like to build stuff using material from my scrap  pile.

My right elbow and left thumb are no longer usable for smashing iron.

I'm located in N.E. Arkansas and will post some pictures of my forge, grinders and other homemade metal working tools.

I've been searching every were, but I've never seen an automotive starter and ring gear used to power a hammer.

Maybe the 200amp DC Tig welder I already have might power the starter motor and the 20ish to 1 ring gear reduction to spin in the 200 -400rpm range? Automotive starters have an over run clutch, that would be handy and It's dirt cheap compared to other options
