Treadle Hammer Made From Scrap Metal
Albert A. Cannella, Cookeville, Tenn.: "As a blacksmith, I forge scrap metal into a wide variety of items unavailable commercially - and needed quickly. To help with my forging operation, I made this treadle hammer from scrap metal. The cost was under $100. The safety shield is made from perforated sheet metal. Steel plate, 3 by 5-ft. and 1/4-in. thick, serves as the base. The hammer is a 30-lb. sledge."
