Well, here's a pic of Brenda and My First Power Hammer. Many thanks to Bill Apple for selling this to us. We actually rushed home from Spring Conference so that we could get this up and running on Sunday! After we got done with the base (the wood part) we went to playing with the Hammer. It works sweet, though I can see the areas that need work, it's a running machine that will flatten and mangle our metal for us much easier now!

Again, Thanks to Bill for all the effort you put into this machine!

If she's still with him at this phase of the hobby then she's a keeper.

hehe, that's about right too! it's actually "Our" hammer, we both put the money up for it. I need to get out of the habit of saying it's mine =).

Haven't had a chance to get real comfortable with it yet, work, other errands and yard work are keeping us from using this baby as much as we want to! So far all that i have done is to pound a few pieces up, lol.

I'll post pictures when we actually get to make something! hehe, Thanks all for the comments!
