Not sure where the best place is to post this, but I know any steam hammer enthusiasts will be looking here. I spent this past weekend at the IBA conference in Tipton, IN enjoying seeing a historic event. They had Steve Parker, Kurt Fehrenbach and Clifton Ralph using a honest_to_God steam hammer to forge a post vise (at least most of it). Awesome demonstration! There were three or four additional folks that supported the use of the boiler and hammer during the demonstration.
I created a new album in the Gallery with a few of the pictures I took.

If any of you have the opportunity, this conference (usually the first week in June) is one of the best in the country. I go every year.... and I live in Virginia. This year it was in late June because of a scheduling conflict with the ABANA national conference.

Fantastic Dave! Great pictures. There is a limit of 100 pictures per album, but you can have unlimited albums. I tinkered with your post a little.
