First off thanks for letting me join. I don’t have pics yet nor have I put any labor in to the power hammer.
I bought plans from Clay Spencer and am steadily collecting parts. I have the base, anvil, motor, drive pulley. I have an order list made up. I order in order of price. Most expensive first. I have most of the high dollar items scrounged up. I’ll report back and show progress once I get going on it. I did just restore a very old Atlas Drillpress and then found a 1897 mechanics machine drillpress that spent years in the Daisy BbGun plant in Rogers Arkansas.

Hey Thad! Nice to see you. As a former machinist I think you saving these old drill presses is very cool. Who says you need a $100,000 CNC Mill to drill holes
