OK, I have some pics of my power hammer, but I must warn you, that the pics are intended to show the making of a billet and not the hammer itself. So it's kind of nasty.

Holy mackerel Lin how big a hammer is that? I'd sure like to play with one of those air hammers some day...  

Awesome blade by the way  :notworthy:

This hammer is not the high end ones. It's ok but, no Matt, not the Big Blue. It's rated about 88 lbs. Doug.

I will probably work on the blade this weekend.

Thanks Robin. I just filed the shoulders for the guard, but still have some time to spend on it before I show the finished blade. Working on several, back and forth.
