This is when I put in the foundation for my 800 pound hammer. Wow, me without a beard! Guy with no shirt is Jim Garrett! On the left is George Rolstad, and on the right is Bill Cooper.

Actually, the last two are when I reworked the foundation for my 1500 pound hammer. The old foundation bolts just hold the timbers down and the hammer bolts just come up through the timbers.

Man that looks like a lot of work.... Next time I think about buying a big hammer I am going to look back at these pictures...
