Andres

Andres

Good tip-thanks.I need to think about my back more than usual because two weeks ago i fall 12 m from tree i was cutting shorter and broke some links in my back. Now niid to be most time horisontal and doctor said that this takes fiew months to be again in good shape.
Probably the dies must be so high that is possible to stay straight and hold the piece while working.
And good luck, Frosty, with your hammer!
Andres

It have actually motor. But without pulley. I need to find one. There are some broken oilpipes and switch.Basicly I turned big pulley and there was compression in it
And seller said it was working hammer before transporting and was now long time like on picture.
So hope dyes last

Hi,Charlotte!
Its my pleasure to share
This lady on my picture is very interested of smithing too-we had together some courses last year. And i think its good hobby for everyone.
Andres

Last year in august was an free-air event of forging in Roosna-Alliku Estonia. It was called "sellikursus", that means course for beginners. I took some pics from there...
