blacksmithing | power hammer | sculptures

On June 13, I have invited the blacksmith clubs from Texas and Oklahoma to be a part of an all day demonstration. I will be showing how I make the various textures that are used in my art work. I will also be demonstrating the use of power hammers and dies. This is really an open invitation to anyone interested in learning some of the techniques to be a part of this event. If you are interested, please contact me and I can provide directions. My shop is in Alvord Texas, 50 miles north of Ft. Worth, 30 miles west of Denton.

power hammer | rebuilding

Hey all, does anyone know how difficult it is to rebuild a little giant 25# or 50# powerhammer? I found a few that might be a good price, but I'm not sure whats involved with the rebuild, can a weld shop do it or does it need a machine shop?
