175013- you dont know what your talking about. it takes just as much skill to control metal under a power hammer as it does using a hand hammer. water wheel powered trip hammers and foot powered treadle hammers have been around for ages, were those smiths any less skilled because they wanted to expediate the process? start drawing out every piece of steel by hand and tell me you wouldnt want something to cut your time in half.

Beautiful Shop, amazing hammer,What is the brand of power hammer?

[Lidskjalf]

Yes thats a really great shop, it´s an swedish ABNO-hammers the blackpaintes one on 25 kilo hammerweight and the green on 40 kilos. It´s i think the most used powerhammers in sweden today, like Little Giant seem to be in america.
