I just got all my basic blacksmithing supplies this week, and somehow stumbled on your channel after seeing a bunch of over complicated, and expensive, designs for power hammers and treadle hammers. As a dude who has no skills when it comes to metalworking, never touched a welder... this is slightly daunting but feels doable with a bit of practice and prep unlike all the other things I've seen. It also seems somewhat affordable, whereas most the others i have seen are costly enough you might as well save a little bit more and buy one. You may not have many subscribers/viewers, but your teaching style is better than most of the other blacksmithing pages with far more views/subs. I hope in the future (probably at least a year or two) I will build myself something like this.

I am newly subscribed to your channel and will at some point build this for my shop as I really like the design. One suggestion I would have for you to help you grow your channel is if recording with a phone, place that phone on the horizontal not vertical. Only short video formats (one minute or less) should be in the vertical format. Good luck with your blacksmithing and keep up the great work bud.

I certainly hope the H13 holds up better than the 5160 did! Can't imagine it won't.

Yes it'll wear out... when you're long dead and gone.

..Good comeback...

..well durn! Sometimes ya just got to try and see...

Wow, Mr. Murphy and his law were obviously present in your shop for that punching! I've not tried using 5160 as a punch, and now I really won't! Hope things improve for you!

Good design I like it 👍

I am glad I came across your videos, I think the versatile is awesome

❤❤❤❤❤❤

is it possible to use this same concept to build a drop hammer on boat for dock.

Hi I found these videos researching ideas to build my own treadle hammer. One idea I have is using a counterweight system instead of springs, it would be easy to adjust your lifting force on the ram, and would be open to a considerable amount of travel

Some times you need a third hand, thank you.

That's tradle hammer is a super clever design, do you recall how many heats it toke you to puch that hole? Cheers!

looks really nice!

Brrrvvvppp, Brrrvvvppp.

Love it, the welding rod brake release made me smile.

..necessity is the mother of invention. now figuring out how to put it together is all you. Well done sir. i hope you have seen Gary Huston's Adjustable hammer. You do an incredible job...!!

Dude, this is a boss idea. I am inspired to dig through the junk pile and build one.

Can you explain more on this?

I was cruising around the internet looking for ideas and this came up! Love it, going to tweak the design for myself and if you don’t mind I’ll document the build on my channel and credit for the inspiration.

I tryed to tag you in my build but it wont let me

What kinda french revolution ahh blacksmithing is this

Thats a scary tool for sure

POV the furries all banging the animatronics

Hell of a forge

Michaelcthulhu?! You shaved!

Still would like to buy plans for it

Finished my variation this past weekend. Thanks for the inspiration @colesonchild! ua-cam.com/video/aGHY-EhDYmQ/v-deo.htmlsi=yt9p0QR0F7UmDjYc

Does anybody have or know where to get the plans for this? I've been looking at different treadle hammer options, but this one looks to be easier/cheaper to build and has the smallest footprint.

If you had a fly press would you have built a guillotine hammer?

I think this a great design. I am a full time blacksmith. My wife is very capable with CAD drawings. I have a CNC plasma machine and CNC 3 axis gantry mill. I would be interested in making these to sell but don't want to steal your idea. Maybe we can work something out. Let me know.

That’s awesome, love metal forming

You might want to present this to a local community college as a potential project for a CAD student.

Hello! As I see, you have tarp shop. Can you please, show video with details- material, size, etc. Thank you!

You're right about selling them. If there's one thing this community is really bad about, it's seeing something another smith came up with and saying, "Wow, what a great idea! I think I'll make one of those when I get home!" While we all have the DIY mindset, we also shoot ourselves in the foot by not supporting each other. I had this happen when I came up withe anvil vise after decades of searching for a solution I was sure that the ancient smiths had come up with. And instead of it being a potential revenue stream, trickle though it might be, all the positive reception only ever amounted to a ton of Attaboys. I knew that going in because I'd done the research, so it didn't hurt too much. 😁 I would recommend making at least one more so that you have one you can take to a show or fair. Give it a nice paint job, put your brand on it. Let folks be able to see it in person, and if they want to buy it right then and there... great. You're right that most people will opt to simply make their own, but the real market will be local or regional where folks might be coming together for a meet-n-greet. There are plenty of smiths who don't have welders, but they do have cash and will be bringing trailers to haul goodies away The No Welder crowd is the target market. Having one or two Coleson Guillotine treadle hammers for sale certainly wouldn't hurt. If nothing else, it'll help you build your experience, streamline the production, and get more eyes on the design so more people can "borrow" it and make it at home. To the point about maximizing the efficiency, I would point out that the mass of the anvil does matter. It's good that you used easily sourced flat bar, but that's also hampering the efficiency a bit. Welding up the sides of the plate is good, but don't forget to join them in the field with plug-welding. This will join the flat bar together more uniformly and solidly, making them act more as a solid unit. One of the first things I thought of when I saw your video was how I would do the same thing, but also add 30" sections of railroad track fore and aft on the anvil. I have it here in the pile of stuff, and have been looking for ways to use it. My original idea for the Spencer treadle hammer was to use four sections stitched together to make the anvil, leaving a gap in the middle for the hardy hole clearance. I think if you cut some track with a 45º angles on the top part, so they were just a few inches shy of where the tooling sits, you'd have plenty of clearance for working, but also tons more mass and rigidity in the anvil. Plus, it would simply look fantastic. The I-beam design of the track would also allow you to build racks inside the flange and web so you'd have places to store tooling. Did I mention how it's have that cool "industrial" vibe? 😎 You've definitely got me thinking. Thanks for coming up with a fantastic design. You've made the smithing community better.

This is great. Just great. Not over-thought, simple and effective! Great use of finger biter clips. I couldn’t get my treadle hammer build ideas to come full circle, man this is it. Hats off to you; subscribed!

The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬

What size springs are you using? My build is about half way done. Thank you.

Very cool idea. My only qualm is that you don’t get any mechanical advantage from the linkage, but otherwise a great bit of design creativity. One small hint: if you were to attach the cotter pins to a thin short bit of chain or cable, you wouldn’t have to worry about dropping them or fumbling for them as you reset the height.

Yeah, I like that. The Specer hammer is really nice, but it's also very expensive to buy and complicated to build.... never mind that it takes up a ton more floor space in the shop. Overall, two thumbs up for a very economical and simple design. I think all the little parts, including the springs, can be found locally at the Tractor Supply store or similar. Then it's just a matter of buying the metal that you need.

Martelo muito criativo é eficiente

Продай, а?

You have lots of questions. Don't overlook a couple basic facts. 1 - your body can only generate about 1/4 horse. 2 - weight does not equal striking force. 3 - simplicity has great value. 4 - heavier springs and more weight are going to reduce the rate of acceleration that you can achieve. 5 - in 6 to 10 inches you are not getting much benefit from gravity. Maybe if the machine was 20 feet tall? Here are a couple questions I WISH you would have answered: What are the specifications for the springs that you are currently using? What are the dimensions of the main bar stock you are using for the cross beam and the striking post? Does it really dig into the dirt when you use it? If so, how much? Can I use a layer of sand to protect my paver floor? Pr maybe I can just take up some pavers in the striking area and use a 1/4 plate over sand.

As a break-drum forger, this is right up my alley. I take a class where they have a press and I can't even look at a log splitter without imagining some repurposing. This is going to be perfect for my non-electric forge.

How much does the moving hammer mechanism weigh? I'm thinking about the "1/2 GT^2" of accelerating more mass. ( I see that someone asked that early, but no reply yet.)

I've been looking at different treadle hammer to make my own. This may be the best home made treadle hammer I've seen.

Happily I haven't needed to use stock the size these tongs would work on, but when I do I will come back to this video. Thanks!

..so, does this mean the gas hammer is working? those are nice tongs, well done...!!

Great design... could you put the treadle at the rear and add a da Vinci drive?????
