Power Hammer that I did.


Recommended Posts

Champion power hammers use 90 degree dies and so are worked from the sides.  Mine have leaf spring linkages though not the LG coil spring.

BTW my 25# LG came from Merino Colorado and arrived there in 1915; been at least 25 years since it was sneaked into NM though...

As for 4"x4"x8" stock  some farm tractors use stock like that on their implements.  I measured one in La Union NM that was just sitting half buried along a fence row.  Unfortunately the owner died before I could ask him about it.  Might ask around an implement dealer, especially around a place where they run to large fields and big tractors.  

(As for HP, our 1966 volkswagon beetle, 1300 model, was 50 BHP and I would expect newer ones to be higher!   2008 rabbit was 170 hp for example.)
