Hamilton, Missouri
Phil's background in working with metal began in the late 60's as a machinist, and soon moved to building engines and chassis for race cars. In the late 70's he resumed his life-long association with horses and did his own farrier work and that soon transitioned into general blacksmithing and a strong interest in using and rebuilding power hammers.
Phil demonstrated with a 25# Little Giant at the 1988 ABANA conference and had the honor of demonstrating on a 25# hammer at the 100th anniversary for Little Giant earlier this year. Over the last ten years he has worked on hammers one-on-one with Tom Clark, Clifton Ralph and many others. Phil shared his knowledge on power hammers and conducted interactive sessions on how to set-up, forge, use tooling, maintain and repair power hammers.
