I just wanted to point out to the few following along the bona fide 2 Hammer forge & when they said >>2 Hammers<< they meant 2 Hammers....

I would really like to see a foto ofPhillip Poschinger's Rohrhammerwerk mit 4 Hammerschlägen or 4 Hammers....




When I can open up a widow of time, & it needs to be soon, my Great Great Grandfather Ellenburg designed & oversaw construction of a Grist & Saw Mill deep in what is now Bankhead National Forest and I would like to Survey it & draw up the design. I know from relatives long gone that it had a 26' diameter overshot wheel. Co Editor of Dietrich Apel's Website, Karsten Eden(Head Geologist of Alaska) attended University in Germany where the technology was developed many, many Moons ago & he has offered to assist me. The tall stone pillars for the wooden water flume are still in place.

Serbus,
