Hi I have been looking at the "Mark" hammer from meyer machine tool in Columbus Ohio it looks pretty good and affordable just wondered if anyone has one or has seen one working and if it was any good
thanks

I had a Mark Hammer.
I could not say enough good things about it.
It was well balanced and very adaptable to my needs.
I got very sick a few years ago and sold it to a good friend.
He was very happy to get it.

The advantages of an "In-line" hammer are many.
Without going into detail - If I was not so old I would buy one in a "New York Minute"

for pics and info go to the meyer machine tool web site they are really good to deal with tell them travis sent ya

Travis, now I question why you asked the question.
Because you seem to know a whole lot about the company that manufactures the hammer than someone who is just probing for an opinion.
And; they must know you.

What difference would it make to say "Travis sent me"??

they are really good to deal with tell them travis sent ya

You have located the company that makes the Mark Hammer, have made deals with them before and feel they know you by name, then why not ask your questions to the company. Post #5 sounds like you are acting as a sales agent for the company.

Humor indeed, chasing the wild goose?

or go to just beyond the middle of nowhere, then right on the dirt road, then right again when you come to Snake Creek. You may pass the old sawmill run by Cooper Corbett and maybe an alpaca or two but keep going. About half way up Snake Creek you will find the LLC.

I've used one of the Lawler built treadle hammers for years. The only issue I've had is with the guide bearings coming apart, but that is only after years of use. Keep in mind that the Clay Spencer design is available at the ABANA website for a reasonable price. If you don’t have the time or wherewithal to build your own the Mark is a good choice, It is the one tool that once you have one in the shop you’ll be kicking yourself for not having done it years ago. I couldn’t imagine being without mine.

I'm old enough to NEED a treadle hammer, but too inexperienced to put one to good use. Plus definately too CHEAP to buy one....(right now anyway..) :)

We have one at school, It has a hollow anvil so the hammer blow is pretty week. Also the rollers stated to break apart in just a few years.

I would just like to thank everyone for their input. I think I will buy one of these hammers if the bearings go after a while its not a big deal to replace them. Once I get it and try it out I will post what I think of it for anyone looking to buy one. Thanks again!!!

We love banging tools pictures and even more videos ;)
