John, Brilliant! I was just talking to Ray Negron at Ronson Hammers the other day and he mentioned that he bores hammers with a horizontal machine as well. His original set up was with a modified Shopsmith (www.shopsmith.com). He sold the machine and so couldnt provide pictures. I like your set up. Do you have plans drawn up? Ive been unhappy with the clamping set up on the machine I bought from Kent Galloway some time ago. The angles were rather precise but that doesnt mean much if you cant hold the hammer head steady while you drill it.
