billp Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I just finished my last blacksmithing class at the Memphis Metal Museum and saw my first tredal hammer at work there. After seeing it and being someone who works alone I thought this would be great to have. I took a number of photos of it to see if I can build one like it but it looks a bit compulacated to use just photos alone. So, if anyone has or knows of any plains I could use to help build one and willing to share I would appreciate it. Cause wither I use photos or plains I got to try and build one this think is about as handy as a pocket on a shirt. BillP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I beleive centaur forge has tredal hammer plans for sale they are low in cost. Just looked it up click on books and video scroll down until you see building shop equipment, $21.00 for plans ask if they will mail it instead of UPS might be cheaper.
