Sturgeon Bay, WI
 

Hello All,
I was a member here years ago and am happy to be back. I do blacksmithing and teach knife making in Wisconsin. Of particular interest to me are pullmax style hammers.

Hi Rick
Welcome back to Allmetalshaping!

I'm not sure how a pullmax would work for forging. The pullmax is more of a press than a hammer. it is a fixed stroke rather than a power hammer that is spring mounted and has an overstroke.

others may have tried the forging lets see what shows up.:)

Steve,
I use it more for cold working sheet, as one would expect. I would like to build one with more of a gap for taller work....like a the "T" Series or some such. I know there were plans at one point for that by a man in the Minneapolis area a decade ago or so.

I very much like the set stroke rather than just throwing the energy till it is used.

Welcome back, Ric.

Forgeries = heat and hit.
