Description: The Frankenhammer Complete Build Manual by Norm Tucker The Frankenhammer Complete Build Manual was created to assist blacksmiths, knife/sword makers, and metal-smiths of all types with building a heavy duty, reliable mechanical power hammer. These step-by-step instructions are the product of many hours of research and development along with trial and error to ultimately build a machine that has been tested, used and proven. The end result is a DIY power hammer that is hard working while designed to last a lifetime. Norm Tucker has been an iron worker for forty years. Beginning as a high-school kid, he spent eighteen years in the auto-body trade, building and repairing cars. During that time, he became obsessed with bending, twisting, shaping, and moving metal, which became the basis for his ultimate passion, blacksmithing. He has owned a small blacksmith shop, a "profitable hobby," for the past twenty years. Within his little shop in Northern California, he has created works of art, helped with community projects, and hammered out countless implements made with forge and anvil. But years of this take a toll on the body, and Tucker realized he needed a machine to do the pounding he needed if he was to continue with his passion of making beautiful and useful hand-forged works of steel and iron. When purchasing a machine was too expensive, he decided to create one of his own---a bullet-proof machine that would last forever. Through trial and error and incessant studying, he finally built a machine using scrap steel, leftovers from projects, and found parts. This "Frankenhammer" became his graveyard hammer and right-hand "monster". Softcover. Unabridged. 8 1/2x11. 80 pages. NEW CONDITION!
