Alec I dare you to make a sword without any power tools
Got to say, I really enjoy the longer series of videos on projects. I really used to enjoy the time and detail you put into your projects, and this feels a bit more like that. Bring back the 30 part series!!! The power hammer looks awesome, keep going!
The only question I have is what are you going to do with a "Steam" hammer once it is fully restored? Unless you have a steam source or a massive (and I do mean MASSIVE) air compressor, you won't be able to power it.
Bit late to the series ,but the one piece of advice I would give is if you are actually planning on using this, replace all the nuts and bolts that you can. Due to their size and the fact that they experience some of the strongest stresses, they are much more prone to failure, and even if they don't cause an injury, it is just not worth the headache of dealing with it, especially if you're already doing such an extensive teardown. Get new ones, and blacken them to get them to a color that matches the aesthetic of the rest of the machine.
Word of warning, The "light at the end of the tunnel" you see, could be a train coming head on!
Im sorry alec, but do you mean to say that you have not bought feelers till now? Please tell me im wrong...
Next Project: "How are we going to fit this 1800's steam locomotive into the Bridgeport?"
This episode could have been an hour long! Petition for a second channel with longer casual content!
Jamie a lowkey genius with a camera
Bridgeport go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT. 😂😂😂😂

Making something from itself in some way, chips or replaced parts, is an absolute must for the first project with the steam hammer.
Doing this yourself is 100% the content I quite like. The "interesting" setup, the gorgeous close ups and shots of the cutting action 😍
Idk why the restoration of this powerhammer has me so mesmerized.
I just love having the voice or reason in Jamie. "Have you got a car jack?"
You'll probably have a hard time trying to canister weld the cast filings. But you could save them and any other shavings, chips, or what have you. Make a furnace and use the shavings to make a small batch of wrought iron.
The filming and editing on your videos is absolutely top notch!
From what i have heard and worked with, cooling with water/oil on cast iron depends more on the tool you use, we had ceramic plates on of our tool, and it did not want any cooling other than just being bigger.
Alec, Alec... I can't believe you're not taking this excellent opportunity to purchase yourself a shaper! It's almost entirely useless in today's day and age, but it would be perfect for this! Shapers are awesome machines and you'll probably never get an excuse as good as this!
Impeccable timing once again, just in time for supper
