Star power hammer restoration WIP

[White Fox Forge]

I have come to a pause on the power hammer for now. I got most of the peices back together and am trying to organize my shop so I have room for my camelback drill which will be another WIP on I Forge Iron. I'm currently waiting for a motor and a pulley before the hammer will be functional. Of course it needs a bit of tweaking to run smoothly but looks promising.

Mike: that is a good idea. Were you thinking I should rough forge and weld everything and give it to him to machine?

How did you fabricate the clutch pulley I drum?

I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Yes -- that's what I was thinking.  I've done similar things with small hand wheels, and a bronze gear for a Champion blower (that had a solid hub with a web from light plate, then a steel ring on the perimeter with a bronze "tire" silver soldered to that).
