I Forge Iron

A favor in the Indianapolis area


Recommended Posts

All,

I would like to build a treadle hammer this summer to help with some heavier stock work I do.

But before I do, I'd like to see one in use, and see if it would work for what I have in mind.

Is there anyone in the Indy area that uses a treadle hammer that would be willing to let me come and watch?

Or a fly press.

Cheers,
Pat Rock

patrick: Take Glenn's advice.

Stan (Trying-it) would probably be more than willing to let you come down to his place and see his treadle in action. I have seen it in person, very impressive piece of equipment. The design is awesome, and I don't think heavy stock would be much problem for it. He is really not too far away from your area, so make a day trip down there if you can. You won't be sorry.

Personally, I can't wait to get out there and see Stan's machine shop, I hear it's an experience in itself.
