    Gabe Fletcher
    Feb 3 2026
    Gabe Fletcher of Anchorage forge returns with a massive shop upgrade, a rare Beaudry 400 power hammer with a 400 lb (181 kg) ram. We talk about how he found it, the full rebuild and reconfiguration by Kevin Willey, and what it takes to install and tune a five ton mechanical beast. Plus, die setups, why Beaudrys have a “Cadillac” reputation, and a quick dive into protective finishes for etched Damascus, including Gator Skin. Help support us on Patreon!
