my wife is a blacksmith and we bought her a "strike" hammer from a metal worker who did mostly cold work and specialized in architectural metal work, mostly fabrication. he seemed to think it would be simple to convert the "strike" hammer into a power hammer, with reciprocating hammering. now it will strike once and then reset, so from what ive read its something like a treadle hammer, but with hydraulic power from an air compressor. does anyone out there have any advice, information, or a trail to how we might convert this "strike" hammer into a power hammer? i appreciate any feedback thanks ronan peterson
