Jason Fry Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I know that treadle hammers and power hammers are better at different tasks, but for my knifemaking, I'm thinking I'll sell my treadle hammer once the power hammer build is completed. I have no idea where to price this thing. It's a commercial build, but I don't know who or where, etc. Where should I start, price wise? This is an old picture, before I tuned the springs to hold the head up like they're supposed to, and before I added bolt on die plates for a set of combo dies.

Judson Yaggy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 That is a Jere Kirkpatric (Valley Forge) treadle hammer. Don't know if he's still around. Google it. He made them commercially and sold the plans and a kit for same back in the 90's and early 2000's. They were around $700 25 years ago. I sold mine a month after buying my first fly press.

JHCC Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 He’s still selling the plans on his website, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
