No, cause if I did I would own one.

decklow these days the way to go is to make your own. Yoders and the like are quite rare.
If your interested google the subject and you'll find ideas galore plans too

Blacksmith or metal shaping?

I don't think "Power Hammer" and "Cheap" are generally used in the same sentence...

I have a friend who has a tire hammer he built, looks simple to build and can be had fairly cheap if you are a good scrounger for some of the parts, I have started collecting some of the parts for a build myself....

If I ever get out of this strata, I'm planning on building a tire hammer. Pretty simple, if you build it sturdy enough.

I agree, Power Hammer and cheap do not belong in the same sentence. Build is the solution. I live in Southern NH where old iron hides for years and I've seen a lot but no hammers. I'm getting ready to retire and I am geared up to make Steam Punk Art but my friend and fellow Artist is a metal sculptor who really needs a hammer. I'll start collecting parts. Plans are plentiful. Thanks to all. I love this site. I found a precision Drill Press from the Washburn Shops at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester MA. Line driven. In great shape. A fun project. I'll post some pics.
