    Now if anything was home-built, this certainly is. Notice railroad track anvil, that narrow curve seems ideal.
    Wonder is design process; conclusions on rise of cam, final drive RPM, sledge hammer weight, and location of follower.
    Youtube?
    Online forum?
    Or he just had stuff lying around?
    I imagine hammer weight the initial point of entry.

    Sitting here, vegetating this overcast Sunday, [in relaxing post offload new-to-me 36" sheet metal shear]. Offload accomplished nearly same as 48" brake posted last year, but NO high center of gravity concerns!
