Useful information:
-The compressor I use is 15cfm, 150ltr, 3hp and single phase.
-The head weight is now 70lb and is solid steel.
-The impact force is roughly 1500lb on a 25mm(1") area.
-Can forge 50mm(2") steel comfortably with excellent control.
-Parts cost roughly £350-£650 to build (not including the compressor) depending on your steel supplier.
- Foot print is 500mm(20") x 400mm(16") and is a maximum height of 1800mm(71").
-using quick exhausts valves does NOT allow the saftey feature of the new electronic valve. but can still be used if wanted.

Hello Joshua from Canada, great video. I just finished a tool making master class. Made some great tools at Arrowhead forge in Wyoming, your tool holder is perfect for my situation, its going on just the way you built it for my new DYI hammer that I built this past winter. I have also used railway track for the "Blanks" on my spring swags. Nice and heavy and easy to machine into a very nice set of dies. Thanks for the inspiration, glad to subscribe to your channel.
Well done Bruce that's awesome. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I look forward to hearing what you're making with the tools you're producing. All the very best. Cheers J
I really like the diagonal tool stem fifth idea. Easy and simple and very practical. Well done.
Thank you. Cheers J
I was so into the whole video I found myself shutting my eyes and looking away Everytime you stuck the arc. My wife thought I was watching something horrible.
Got to be proud of that slag peel. Skin of the Dragon !!
Thank you. I do like to stick weld. Cheers J
Thankyou for existing mate
You too! 😉
Nice video. really enjoy where your going with your treadle hammer. keep the videos coming.
Thank you Dan! got any ideas for a colab anytime?
Fantastic video as always and very interesting indeed
Thank you for watching. Cheers J
Just fantastic thank you for sharing 👍
Impressive welding skills, ingenious designs and workmanship. Very nice videography, too.
Thank you so much that's very kind. Cheers J
Great tutorial, would like you to teach more about the process and making of different spring tools. Thanks
Great another video from you so quickly Joshua!! You make stick welding look so simple, I love the way you just pick the slag off knowing full well there’s an excellent weld underneath - amazing - if only I could do that!! Brilliant.
Thank you so much! I've been welding for while... repetition and analysis, keep pushing those skills you'll do well. J
Another great video for improvement of forging. Thanks.
Would love to see you do a stick welding how to video mate. Your welds look awesome as usual :)
Thank you! Lots and lots of repition and analysis... I recomend weldingtipsandtricks.com channel here on youtube, Very helpful! I will being doing another horse head video and will use all three processes, mig, tig and stick if your interested
Joshua De Lisle - yes we are certainly interested - very interested.
Don’t they though, I was just thinking exactly that.
Was very helpful!!
Thank you. Cheers J
Simple genius. K.I.S.S. I love it!
PLEASE put some sand in your power hammer columns. It rings like Big Ben after a night out drinking! 🤣
I will do. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle, I put sand in every hollow spot, and it sounds like I have a big tree stump that I am beating on. Living here on the beach sand is no problem
Good looking welds!
Thank you. Cheers J
Awesome work as always. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I'll do my best. Cheers J
nice and greate job simple and efecasse mercie beucoup mon frere
Great content well presented and videoed. Thanks for the insights on making and using the open dies.
Thank you Geoff! Cheers J
Josh another great video!
Thanks
Thank you Bob! J
Lovely work sir as always riving må good ideas for my forge👍👍
Thank you! J
Very good teacher, Bravo.
Thank you Paul! Cheers J
Super video Josh. Anyone who says you need to throw lots of money into blacksmithing could learn a thing or 2 from you mate
Thank you! Buy low sell high!
Nice work sir!
Thank you!
Very interesting and informative
Glad it was helpful! Cheers J
I’ve just received my acorn key ring. It’s as good as I expected it to be and now sits proudly in my pocket. Thank you! 😁
Thank you Rob for your support. It's very much appreciated. Cheers J
Really useful video! Thanks very much. I plan to build a foot-powered trip hammer (no electricity just yet) in the coming year but these concepts you presented will work equally well as on a power hammer. Thanks again and Happy New Year.
Thank you Bob! all the very best. cheers J
Show off haha. Love your weld
Thank you Stan. Cheers J
Nice!
Thank you! J
I really like your videos and dream about building a power hammer like that... Keep it up!
Thank you so much! I'll do my best. Cheers J
Loved this video, was awesome to chat to you live would love to colab on design for my press, love the, design, has been very helpfull info
Thank you so much! If ever you go yo the Royal welsh show i'll be there demonstrating. cheers J
looks like 7018 at the perfect heat i see the slag curling away good welding
Thank you! Cheers J
Nice as ever Joshua. I have been doing a fair bit of MMA welding building a power hammer ( started like yours but looks very different based on what materials I could find) but my welds can still only be described as ‘functional’, not works of art like yours. Hopefully posting a video in a few weeks.
Awesome I look forward to that. Repetition and analysis over many years is what it took me to do that...
just found your channel. love the air hammer. Is there any benefit going from a 2 1/2 inch bore to a 4 inch bore? thanks
Thank you. No it gets too slow after going wider than 2.5". Impact Speed is key to the design not the pressing pressure. I tried with a 4" but it sucked and 2" wasn't quite enough. 2.5" is the optimum @120psi. cheers J
Got my little rubber bumper today. Love the Queen Elizabeth stamp! Also got that TIG setup for Christmas you recommended. Did you upgrade the torch? What MMA rods did you use on the 4” round bar on the original build?
Glad it came ok! Nice! I recomend 7018 and to pre heat the 4" solid first before welding. just uploading the tig upgrade video and will be published next Thursday. All the very best. cheers J
Nice video. I was just wondering what rod were you welding with.
I'm using 6013 but 7018 are better for this type of work. Just what I have at the moment until I buy a pack of 7018
I see you had put wire clamps on the acorn when forging... just practicing, or a specific reason? The acorns look sweet!
Yeah it was a test but didn't bother taking it off again. Cheers J
Not only a very cool tool holder, but the way you are adapting the tools to accommodate a one-man (two-hand) ship is very clever. Two questions: 1. Is the welder your now Röhr? 2. Are the acorn dies hardened and tempered? Thank you for the post!
That teaches me to comment before I finish the video
The final die is case hardened which I'll show on another video. The other is just mild steel. I used the stick function on my Tig as my MIG needs an appropriate plug first, I'll do a video of the MMA function and flux core in another video also. Cheers J
You gotta make some cool stuff bro like Damascus knives, hammers,forging tools ect and you'll get tons more subscribers I know you don't get much time after work but I think you could get really popular on utube and not have to go to work aventuly youd be living the dream
Thank you, I know it's the popular thing to do making Damascus and hammers and if my subscribers want that I'll do it. However I'm a bit of an against the grain kind of guy an not a fan of what's popular but more interested in something new. I loved Damascus back on the day and made a few blades, axes and hammers too. I'm not sure that line of business is very profitable as it's a very saturated market now. All the very best. J
@@joshuadelisle yea ur right I'm sure there's plenty of other popular subjects that are really popular think I'll just keep watching ur skills and knowledge and see how it progresses I give u a fund up my black Smith dream is looking alot more do able since iv seen ur power hammer , just gotta stock up on material before I start building
Hey! What number/type rods are you using generally for arc welding?
I use 6013 & 7018 in 3.2mm and 2.5mm. cheers J
9:40 Now you are just showing off. LMAO. wish my welds were that good.
Ha ha! Thank you. Cheers J
Hi Joshua, any progress on offering a power hammer kit or fully assembled machine from the company you work for??
Thanks so much from Seattle, WA USA.
Hi. Not yet it's been a very weird busy year and I've not had chance to get many things done. As soon as I do I'll be sure to post about it all over UA-cam and Instagram. Cheers J
Hi Joshua. Just posted a video on a power hammer using the same pneumatics at you. I ended up with a very different design based on what I had around me. Let me know what you think!
Well done she looks like a good one. I recommend quick exhaust valves on your cylinder (if you did I missed it), it seems a little slower than mine. Is it running at 120psi?
Hi Josh, I’ve been following the mods and profession of the pneumatic PH. I did hear you say there are plans available? How do I obtain these buddy. PS... I’m in the UK/ Wirral...👍
Hi Darren. Thank you so much. There is a link to my Etsy shop in the description. Type in METAL1 as a coupon code for 10% off. Cheers J
Stickmaster!
Why did you use the tig with the first piece? Or not use the tig when you used mma? (Just curious from a beginner)
Cool stuff and nice quality!!
The tool holder didn't need a large bead that stick delivers and TIG is more neater weld. I could do it all with stick but I like to use TIG when I can because it's lovely. A stronger weld would be if I did a Tig route run and a 7018 cap. cheers J
It's my day off and.... First thing I do is catch up on some of your content. I very much appreciate your approach, your style, and thoroughness. This is quality content!! Since you ask: I'd love to see which program you use (as well as your process) to come up with these fabulous 3D sculptures (ie Horse, ram skull...)
Thank you Martin for your views and encouragement. Really glad you like my stuff. I use sketchup pro and sometimes SOLIDWORKS but I'm thinking of moving to using Fussion 360 or Blender for future models. The process I keep under my hat until I've had time to fully exploit my design style. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle thanks for your input Joshua :) totally understand why you'd want to keep the magic recipe under your hat ;) still, I had to ask ya know;)
Josh, I’m going to reverse-engineer the steam power hammer linkages from Ken’s MZ75 (not for resale but personal use). Just a personal challenge for the tech side of my brain. 😄
Must check that out, have you got a link to the video?
Joshua De Lisle Just search on youtube for “Ken’s Custom Iron MZ75.” It’s a $5000 pneumatic power hammer that uses the steam hammer linkages. Pretty cool.
Looks like you need to make yourself a chipping hammer
Are you still planning to sell finished hammers?
Hi yes, I will be. i'm developing this prototype further so I can deliver the best and most cost effective option out there. more video's on it coming soon. cheers J
I've noticed that Brits do well making knives and swords on the TV programme Forged in Fire how about you
I started of in my training wanting to do swords and armour but quickly moved in architectural and artistic Iron work. As I reflected on the change I decided I wouldn't make weapons because if someone actually used it for its purpose then I would feel responsible for the damage it would be used for. Saying that my brother in-law wants a sword as a burglar deterrent... I have considered making culinary knives and axes though. I like it that those tools would get regular use without hurting anyone. Cheers J
When i was in hereford i complained that they only taught arc welding on the blacksmithing course and manged to get a city and guilds MIG welding course added to it for over 40 students , wonder if they dropped it the following year lol
The best way to learn to weld is using an arc welder first. We did MIG and a little Tig at Hereford but we had more than most other years. Problem was there wasn't enough students so they didn't get the funding after our year.
@@joshuadelisle fully agree about arc welding first , if nothing else its 300% cheaper than tig welding and 200% cheaper than mig and perfectly acceptable and easier on anything above 3 mm , and lets face it you dont need to learn how to weld below 3 mm unless your a mechanic !
@@Edgunsuk you can weld 2mm with a 1.6mm 6013. They are low penetrating and good for sheet steel. I've got a pack and do a video welding another horse head together but using all 3 processes, MIG, Tig, and stick to show that you can make one with any welder.
@@joshuadelisle I welded 1.7 mm ammo box with a 3 mm stick welder as my Hereford tool box lol not pretty but doable , i have a thermal arc multi process machine now in the process of deciding if i should buy all the tig bits for it but the extra gas bottle is 170 bucks alone with the deposit and i only have a one car garage its getting a little full i will link a video of it ua-cam.com/video/rdWxKNl0ZjI/v-deo.html
An idiot's (i.e., non-blacksmith's) question: why do you press the dies multiple times with the power hammer instead of one big and final push with a hydraulic press? Of course, it would require much more precise (machined?) dies, but would likely save a lot of time and effort...
A press with the same forging power would require for more energy than what my power supply can handle. If you imagine the energy transfer like this, if you take a hand hammer and attempt to push a nail into a plank it takes far more energy than tapping it with a hammer, also you impart energy into the work piece which makes it hotter for longer whilst a press sucks heat away making it less efficient. The impact force = mass X acceleration. But a powerful press is lovely to use.
