    It’s based on the Cam Hammer design first invented by Leonardo DaVinci just on 500 years ago. Beautiful example.

    I believe this is for hammer sharpening tools, such as scythe, old scicle brush cutters, or corn detastelling knives. The arm around the machine supports a block that the tool handle goes into to keep the blade at the correct angles and would allow the blade to be moved side to side, keeping the edge on the peening anvil. Usually the handle supporting board is made specific to one tool as each person would have a different swing. My grandfather had a less ornate machine like this in his tool shed. I found it useful for breaking walnuts when a mallet hammer was installed. Nice find.

    The majority of the wooden pieces, regardless of its designed function, look like they were formerly part of a spinning wheel both in size and design - even the treadle. I would agree it is most likely for scythe blade peening or possibly some kind of tinker's process, but they used swage blocks, anvils, stakes and specialized hammers. Nice find, though.

  • @drattednuthin3563

    The wheel itself is really interesting. It looks like a mix of construction techniques for both a wheel for a spinning wheel, and a wagon wheel. The spokes are turned rather than created using a spoke shave. Wagon wheels or early automobile wheels didn’t have round spokes, the were more oval, not turned on a lathe. Spinning wheel spokes were turned and given decoration, like these spokes have. The big thing that says to me that the wheel was made (or possibly repaired) by a wheelwright is two things actually, the first being that the spokes go all of the way through the hub of the wheel. This does not happen with spinning wheels, but it always happens with wheels built as vehicle wheels or the weight of the vehicle would push the hub down onto the spokes and destroy the wheel. The second is the way that the sections of the hub are joined using splines. Splines or angled pegs at the outside edge of the wheel are used by wheelwrights to join the different sections of the hub together, but spinning wheels are joined differently with pegs on the inside of the joined sections of hub. It’s ok to do this with a spinning wheel because it will never be bearing the weight of a vehicle that would snap the internal pegs. So it looks like the wheel was made by a wheelwright, but the guy was possibly using off the shelf or pre-made spokes possibly for a spinning wheel. It’s fascinating.

      Sorry… I call the sections of the wheel a hub above, but I should have said felloes.

    • @hughjanus2066
      @hughjanus2066 Рік тому

      Your best bet is to just buy it, (preferably the modern and less toxic formula, the old stuff had a mixture of something along the lines of 70% lead, 15ish percent Tin, 14ish percent copper and 1% metallic Arsenic.) New stuff is mainly tin with copper, and antimony as secondary and tertiary metals.

  • @mpotter103

    Very nice, I am thinking about building one similar to this as a continuous scroll saw instead of trip action hammer. Could you share LxWxH of green frame and wheel diameter of this one for reference? Depending where you picked this up, probably fairly easy to trace Josef Maier 1871-1936 (1935-37) and find out a little more about him, as builder or just user/owner.

    "Craftsman or craftswoman." Really? The machine's manufacturer was one Josef Mairer , a man. So why be politically corret and include the female sex. Don't try, as people of your generation seem to be doing, to rewrite history to server your political agenda.

  • @henmich

    The arm allows you to set the angle of the scythe relative to the hammer and then allows you to swing it back-and-forth to get the whole length of the blade at that same angle.. youre welcome... you owe me a beer.

  • @winterphoenixforge483
    @winterphoenixforge483 2 роки тому

    Okay so that nifty power hammer of yours, that arm that articulates around the machine I believe is to be one of the last things that the Craftsman made for this piece of equipment. You have to go back in the time that he made this and think as he was hammering away something felt like it was missing or his job could have been done easily, with that said he came up with this design that helps him with something work with this machine for real and maybe it will strike you on what this arm is designed for.

    As others have mentioned that wheel looks like it came from a spinning wheel. It's too small and too light to be a ships wheel.

    Is the arm for starting the momentum by moving the inner toothed cog? Maybe some rolled leather on the end of the round tit. Beautiful Thing

  • @lorifilm

    This is for scythes. I have two of those hammers exactly same shape, but my anvil is not that flat and wide, this way i'm able to hammer out(sharpen) the cutting edge even closer to the tip of the blade. Usually the anvil is hammered into a tree stomp. This is the "motorised" version of it. Probably used in the field on harvest time(teamwork) when one person continuosly sharpened the blades for bunch of men who was doing the cutting, children and women tied up the crop/collecting.

    • @lorifilm
      @lorifilm 2 роки тому

      Ps:When the blade is forged, is not quenched, but with the hammering/peening work-hardened. Place of origin Austro-Hungarian monarchy or Germany(my guess).

    Hunting for "function"-not functionality!! That said-what a neat thing.. I just rebuilt a 1908 Star power hammer but it is more along lines of Little giant.. your machine has such beautiful aesthetics. I'd perhaps vote for scythe but having grown up with them (yes I'm that old) I'm more used to seeing people use a stake anvil..Thanks for letting us see that wonderful contraption...

    I wonder if it was for hammer copper or tin. It doesn't seem to hit hard enough for steel. But what a cool pice of history. Thanks for sharing 👍.

    • @dennisyoung4631
      @dennisyoung4631 2 роки тому

      The hammer-head itself is one like I recall using for raising copper, and the stake it hits “could” be used for some raising operations - though the more usual raising stake is long and thin, almost like a strange tool one might fit in the hardie hole of an anvil.
