Iron Falcon 72 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Does anyone have any photos of one? I see the plans are available at ABANA but they don't have any pics of what "modified" means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Does anyone know where to get this book? My search didn't find it. Thanks Fred, I got my copy from Amazon back in '05. Robb Gunter can give you the name of a gentleman not too far from him that builds treadle hammers, they use them at the Gunter's school. fine hammer and very decent price. Not sure if it is a "modified" tho. You can contact him, Robb, through the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthibeau Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 One of the first links on a Google search....scroll down towards the bottom.....Power HammerThe Little Giant Powerhammer by Richard R. Kern $35.00 The rebuilding, history and use of The Little Giant Power Hammer. This will guide you through the entire restoration process of this popular hammer. The result should be a restored hammer which will operate properly, not one running on myth and prayers. If you are about to buy a powerhammer, the investment in purchasing this book will be recouped many, many times over. You will know what to look for and will have some concept of what the restoration will involve. Contains over 200 Tables, Charts And Illustrations. 300 pages, 7-1/8 x 10-1/4 (Paperback) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy, I bought the hammer that Ron had for sale at the conference. I was just rying to see if the modified version had any improvements to the swingarm type that mine doesn't already have.

I saw his link, looked in his book section and didn't see it. It's under power hammers instead of books. Thanks for getting me to go back and think illogically.
