Hammer-in tryout

A good friend has built a hydraulic press and he's unveiling it this weekend. I don't have a lot of specifics, aside from knowing that he did a lot of additional wiring to 3 phase, had to find some specialized parts and I have no doubt it's bad ass.
He's a journeyman bladesmith and will likely spend most of his time using it for pattern welded (damascus) steel. I can't wait to see it in action, and to see what he does with it. He's having a bit of a BBQ/BYOB- it will be very nice to get out of the house and away from the books for the better part of the day.
