As set up for the 10/4 demonstration, there were no stabilizers for the main body of the OB. It does rock when the hammer is raised and dropped. A lot of work is lost because the full "stroke" of the hammer cannot be used this way. Given that, it seems reasonable that for actual pile driving there would need to be some sort of external stabilizer legs or cables. Anyone know if that was the typical practice back in the day?
