You foam insulated the hammer foundation? Won't it stand a good chance of shifting, making the hammer lean after a while?


I have now used the hammer for about one year (though fairly limited amount) and the base has not shifted/sunken. So it seems that I got lucky with the foam. :D

That's good to hear and really good to know it'll work. Living in a cold climate means the more ways you can keep a slab or foundation where you want it the better.

I really like your shop, I could there very comfortably. Feels good to have your own place doesn't it?

Frosty the Lucky.

I really cannot suggest the foam to others until I see that it stands up at least for ten years. Then again, as I wrote earlier, the stuff should take (by the specs) the static load it is carrying now.

I really like it a lot too. I like forging in there, sometime I just like stand around there looking at my tools. Just remembered the poem JWB posted some time ago "I like to sit in my shop"; I need to get a chair/stool to my shop. Sometimes weeks go by without time to do any forging, sometimes I'm there every day. Last weekend was nice. My son (9 years old) came to forge with me the first time (he's been there watching me earlier, but this time he got to hit the hot iron). We made small hook together. :)
