my wife is a blacksmith and we bought her a "strike" hammer from a
metal worker who did mostly cold work and specialized in architectural
metal work, mostly fabrication. he seemed to think it would be simple
to convert the "strike" hammer into a power hammer, with reciprocating
hammering. now it will strike once and then reset, so from what ive
read its something like a treadle hammer, but with hydraulic power
from an air compressor. does anyone out there have any advice,
information, or a trail to how we might convert this "strike" hammer
into a power hammer?
i appreciate any feedback
thanks
