July 6, 201015 yr hi all !!! my new toy !!! it's a mecanical "french" power hammer "le compagnon" , a good friend when you don t have a striker before restoration and after 2 month:D
July 6, 201015 yr Author me too !!! another "crazy" blacksmith french frog french "forum" are intrusting (and the other too!!) but today i think forging in the workchop with friend are more intrusting....... ;)
July 6, 201015 yr How does that hammer work? Apparently crank actuated? Is there some kind of pivot beam?
July 6, 201015 yr Author thank you SAM !!! i understand the question !!! but i haven't the "technical vocabulary" to reply . look that !!! SAM what is a " rocking beam spring pack " ???? i think it s a group of flat spring ??????
July 6, 201015 yr Nice hammer, Brutaldeluxe!! MUCH handier than trying to hand hammer large pieces without a striker! :)
July 7, 201015 yr Author thank !!! i think "french" forging and "usa" forging it's not the same !!!!! you have another style of forging, machine ..etc but it's intrusting to look other style !!!! i would like to forging with brian brazeal , or at the big blu ....but it's not easy!!! for the moment i don t have money , time....it's a long travel for a french guy!!! thank "internet" !!!! you are traveling in a short time , you look good technique and photo B)
