HIGHSIDER Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 By golly those massy's are quite a sight...for scrape you say?? Oh that's a pity, is there even a glimmer of hope they could be salvaged from such a faith and restored to former glory or is that just life and that's how it goes? I'm a gluton for punishment like that. I'd take on restoring one without a second thought, foolish some would say lol I'm starting out with my smithing journel and it'll be quite a while before i land something as near to a proper power hammer of sorts. More than likely take stock of what bits i have and make up a reasonable to good power hammer from odds and ends when i set my mind to it and get my foot on the ladder kind of thing. There's more than enough info on here to get started however i would like to set a goal of having one of these babbies in the shop at some later stage. It has to justifyable i know but you have a set a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 They are not for scrap ! most are sold and awating refurbishment :D Mooney, stayed away from the auzzy 2500 ton press. A gamble to much for me at the current time, and ive not got enough chips to play at that table! (and more to do closer to home than hours in a day!) Im very impressed you have got so many hammers !
