Default Hello from FL

Hi. My name is Clif Perry and I am in Fort Pierce Fl. In the 70's and early 80's I used to make large fountains from commercial bronze (alloy # 220 -90 % copper). It was all hand hammering on stumps and silversmith stakes and tools. I did build a small planishing hammer that used a air powered gun and had a sliding action operated by a foot pedal to engague the metal. I hope to build some more tools and do some auto restoration, probably on VW's. I'll look for some photos of my old stuff! Thanks for the great info.
