FS Ironmonger Armourer's Swage block
I have here an Ironmonger Armourer’s Swage block I bought at Pennsic about 13 years ago. I used it quite a lot in the beginning, then transitioned to different techniques and more specialized forms. It is in great shape. I would like to see it used more instead of on my shelf. They are $300 new, I w...

Re: Need help with my kinyon styled powered hammer.
Get yourself a pair of quick exhaust valves to dump your air instead of passing it back through the valve.

You typically just start with a block, I use drops off material from our machine shop at work. UHMW can take a ton of abuse, and as it is used repeatedly, it will take a permanent shape.
