Just found this forum while looking for power hammer plans and decided to join.
Been a metal worker all my life in everything from factories to shipyards.I have strong backgrounds in welding,machining,forging,fab work,etc and have a small fab/machine shop of my own.I enjoy making or modifying tools and machines and rehabbing old iron.
Hope to pick up some tips here and maybe be of some help in any way I can,hopefully you won`t pick up any of my bad habits.;^)

Welcome Bob. We look forward to hearing your experiance, sound like a very handy fella to have around.

What kind of hammer do you think you'll build? They all have their pros and cons, which have been discussed here lots... go nuts with the search function.

by the way you can put your location on the profile page for you, then its easier to find helpful neighbours.

have fun

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard ...glad to have you.

Clicking on "User CP" at the top of the page and editing your profile to show your location will go a long way towards helping folk close to you find you. IFI is represented by members from more than 50 countries and a lot of info is location specific.

Next to finding someone close to help teach you the craft you can read and talk to folk here. All we ask is the occasional picture of what you're doing.

Welcome to the group
Ralph Sproul in NH has some air hammer plans

Thanks for the prompt to the profile.Figured out how to post my info there.
This forum is alittle different than the others I`ve been to but I`m sure even an old dog like me can figure it out.
Wait till I try to post pics and you`ll find out just how computer illiterate I really am.That`s bound to be a wake up call,especially for yours truly.

Mainely,Bob
