Subject: "Kick Ass" treadle hammer

I saw in the Anvil's Ring a "Kick Ass" air operated treadle hammer made by
Off Center Forge.  Is there anybody on the list familiar with this machine,
it looks very interesting.  

An unrelated note: I thought that Stephen Yusko's lantern and box were
delightful pieces and enjoyed seeing them in this issue.  It was a wonderful
use of expanded or punched out metal with the wrought iron handles.  Oops,
maybe we aren't supposed to comment on other people's work.  There's just
more and more good stuff showing up and new people to become familiar with
these days.

Chris,

Contact Bob Bergman. He is the mid-west & east coast rep for the off-center
forge. He has brochures, info, and uses one in his shop.

I've seen the hammer work. It lives up to its design specs. I don't own one and
don't know how well it works for extended periods.
