Same thing, different name.

Well I was thinking of something simple, like rigging up a large spring
and mounting a sledge hammer there in.

I've been thinking about ways to do it.

I have collected a few pictures of various kinds of treadle hammer. I
can email them to you if you are interested.
Also, there are a couple of plans around for building them.

I just sent you an email with the pictures. I tried to keep the sizes
down to manageable.

I've seen a picture of a flypress converted to be operated by leg power.

Might be worth investigating.

I've been using a (smallish) hand powered type for a couple of years -
contollable enough that I can usually do a full forging without a hand
hammer (I tend to make door and gate hardware, so some big hinges, as
well as door knockers and latches).

I did have a go at making some laminated steel with it (cable damascus,
I believe it's called?), but it didn't turn out so well.

I believe Ron Reill's site has a page on using a flypress as a power
hammer.
