Post by: WarrenJ on April 02, 2012, 06:53:16 PM If you have ever tried to do some of that stuff with a vice, hammer and anvil, it just makes me want to cry. Its amazing, the blacksmith made the original tools for the industrial revolution, now they are making industrial tools to make production blacksmith work. Its a weird world, not that I wouldn't mind finding my shop full of that stuff. All I really want is a KA-75 Power Hammer.

Title: Re: For Triangleforge. . . Post by: Monsterlover on April 02, 2012, 07:00:58 PM As the hammer is my favorite tool (I own about 30 of them in various shapes and sizes) I whole heartedly approve of a power hammer.

That would be awesome too, But For starters I would like a big welder and air compressor -w- Generator mounted on a trailer and sent to 4429 Shasta way Klamath Falls OR 97603.

Post by: MendoDave on April 02, 2012, 07:13:24 PM I have a little 110 volt wire feed that does a lousy job.
Title: Re: For Triangleforge. . . Post by: triangleforge on April 02, 2012, 08:15:54 PM You had me at the first two bars of "Money." I'll take one of each. Just put it on my tab.
For real production ironwork, that kind of tooling would come in way handy - and mixed with a generous portion of hand work, you could do some stunning things. Top of my list, though, would have to be a power hammer like WarrenJ.
