My used treadle hammer


Recommended Posts

The first picture is taken from the front. Notice that the hammer is not directly inline with the anvil. I've checked and the hammer is inline with the back support.
The second picture shows how the anvil is attached. It actually sits in the cup and is not welded to it. The cup is welded in 4 places around the base.
If it's worth it, it would be fairly easy to break the welds and reweld it so that the hammer and anvil are more inline.

They're about 1/4" to 3/8" out.

Is it worth the effort to align them more closely?
