I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I wish I had all that stuff and knew what to do with it.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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.  
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!

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.

Klamath Falls OR 97603.

i have a small mig, a 100 gal/6 hp compressor, and two generators and a bunch of other random stuff to start, i want the bender.

although watching that wrought iron get formed sort of made me twitchy

I have a little 110 volt wire feed that does a lousy job.

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.

If you want to see some interesting work from small to large scale, check out one of my new favorite blogs, written by the wife of a husband/wife team of professional smiths in Kentucky, http://stayathomewelder.blogspot.com/

By hammer and hand all arts do stand.
