I like the chain on your hammer, beats the fishing line they come with!

I like the fact that your lineshaft base provides the correct spacing between the engine and the accessory. By varying the base/accessory dimension on other powered devices you wouldn't need any type of holdowns on them either. Well done.

Yes... nice set-up.

I always felt the D-14 was a very nice looking machine.

Very nice!  Where do you get the multi-step (pyramid) pulleys?

  I just got lucky in that I have an assortment of different belts , with a couple that happen to be the right length !

  The monofilament is a bit tackey . That chain is from a cheap necklace that my wife gave me . I have two of the drop hammers , and that necklace was just right to make two chains .
