Hey Ron. You did SUPER WELL with this. Great talk through, great personality. You might not know it, but this type of stuff inspires others(me certainly) that things can be done. A BIG THANKS for taking the time to share it.
Ha, just watched your shop tour and started looking. Knew I could find the build, I think I could find enough to make this happen! Thanks mate, great project, junk hunting I will be!
As they say... Necessity is the mother of invention!! Also, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Wait until you see mine😉 Thx again, great job!
Ron Thank you for sharing you brilliant creation. I have access to all the scrap material you used in your power hammer. We keep what we have by giving it away. May your generosity be rewarded by many productive happy years of retirement. i have subscribed to your channel...looking forward to greater thing from your good self. God Bless
Ron, man you got some neat stuff layin around your shop. You sell stuff? We have an antique steam and gas show locally once a year but, MAN!, people have gone nuts with prices. Thank you Forged In Fire. That's a sweet little piece of work you created.
Hi Ron, I've looked at some three or four dozen videos, getting ready to build one of my own, and wanted to say, you did really well with yours, pretty much singular in it's handiness, and proportional size. I've got a piece of shafting, 60 pounds or so, for one, and will attempt to get as close to your "working size" as I can, with it, and the necessary anvil mass, but I really like the clean, neat package of your rotating head, and the linkage, as well as the beautifully clean clutch, motor drive setup, I think that's the best, most direct I've seen. That's a right fine setup. Thanks for showing it. Semper Fi.
Wow!!! Thanks so much John That is exactly what I was going for. Not much out there like it. Neat compact and simple was my goal and more or less a proof of concept. I would love to see yours Plenty of room for modification Send pics. Good luck.
This is so cool! I'm totally limited for space so I couldn't have any of the big machines. It's encouraging to see this could work on a smaller scale, too - I'm not planning on any big work. Now I need to start finding some stock.. Thanks for sharing!
Yes , That's big enough to work into my small forage area for my part-time hobby plans. Please do tell me more I am very interested .I've built my coal forage, built my anvil, built a few hardy tools.Got foundation done and building 13 x12' shed , got a heavy vise .After shed complete I might try copying this. I to would do exchangeable dies. Thanks for showing .This is nice.
Thanks. I’m not sure of the spring I just found it in the scrap pile just get something that gives good resistance back when you apply pressure good luck with your hammer
Thanks for your interest. Not Interested in making another one but I have had several people copy my design. It is very straightforward and easy to build I’m sure you could do it thanks again
great build Ron! yes interchangeable tooling and little more throat (hammer to anvil space) for those upsetting jobs and tooling. control looks great with your motor mount but does the hammer give you ability to give very soft blows? once again very cool!
Hi Mr Robicheaux, I’m looking for scrap parts to assemble sth like yours😅 ... but what kind of spring is yours, where did you get yours? Btw, many thanks for your post! Great great great 😎👌
Nice job looking to start doing a little forging definatly going to make one Where yaul from ? you and leblanc are acadian French I'm Cormier New Brunswick Canada Cheers
A great machine i have seen .so space saving but all parts.mind blowing. i seen before big parts and tall structure and difficult to make.i am afraid even collect all parts but after your job seen i am confident about making my homade hammer too.i dont think you have making this with this thought ,but dont worry amazing makes some time automatically.best..best...best..👍👍👍💐💐🎂
Thanks for the compliment. No plans but recommend making a working model out of wood like I did. Easier to tweak your design before you cut metal. Good luck! Send pics when you make yours. Ron
That is a good looking hammer. I like your forge the way it is setup ,I have 2 of those blowers from my late uncle &that was the way I want to do my forge.did you have to use any special bricks or fire cement to build it?
Thanks for the compliment actually I built the Forge out of treated plywood framed up with two by fours and then I put thin brick veneer’s works perfectly cheap and easy
Not worried Seems to be holding up well. If that would ever happen it would be an easy fix Remove it and a little grinding would solve it thx for the question
hi, very nice! good job! :) seems to work pretty well. Does the center part not touch/hit the spring when getting up? Thanks for reply and again WOW, compact, beautiful and very handy!!
Looking for parts and trying the same model! It seems to be very handy and space saving! Thank you for your response and for sharing this amazing project with the world! 👍👍👍 merry X-mas and happy new year!
Hey. Just noticing your comment. Thanks for the compliment ! The offset is 2inches. Tried to keep it compact for stability. Lots of room for improvement. Built more as a proof of concept. Works well for me. Good luck. Love to see what you come up with. Ron
Huge Respect for this! I dont quite understand the purpose of the spring, i have seen hammer of this style with a spring in between the arms, what does it actually provide as a benefit? Kind Regards =)
14 pounds. Not sure of the RPMs it is missing the badge but I experimented with different size pulleys thank you for the compliment good luck making yours
Wasn’t meant for large items. Mainly for drawing out reigns Planishing and texturing. Plenty of room for adjustment if you’re planning to build one. Good luck

That is brilliant and I may have to borrow from your design.
Feel free! Lots of room for improvement Send pics
Thanks very much!
Thank you!!
good job....thanks big brother
👍. Thank you!
Simple and badass
😀👍. Thanks
No limit to the size. I just wanted to make one small enough for my small shop. Good luck!
I have one question. Are you worried about the billet or hammer spreading or swelling on the bottom and getting stuck in the bearing?
I love the power hammer.. what size motor did you use on that bad boy? Thanks.
Wow!! Thanks much
It’s one half horsepower Thanks for you’re nice comment!
Hi Mr Robicheaux, I’m looking for scrap parts to assemble sth like yours😅 ... but what kind of spring is yours, where did you get yours? Btw, many thanks for your post! Great great great 😎👌

You are very welcome thanks for the interest send pictures when you build yours thank you
Great job Ron I need one like that do you have any plans for it yet?
Thanks! No plans. Just kind of built it to fit the spot where it was going to live. Much room for improvement Good luck with yours!! Send pics
Not worried Seems to be holding up well. If that would ever happen it would be an easy fix Remove it and a little grinding would solve it thx for the question
Would you consider making another one like this to sell? If so let me know.
hi, very nice! good job! :) seems to work pretty well. Does the center part not touch/hit the spring when getting up? Thanks for reply and again WOW, compact, beautiful and very handy!!

Good Job...I like it, what's the offset from center for the hammer?
Hey. Just noticing your comment. Thanks for the compliment ! The offset is 2inches. Tried to keep it compact for stability. Lots of room for improvement. Built more as a proof of concept. Works well for me. Good luck. Love to see what you come up with. Ron
Nice,, i subscribe it👍
Thank you!
i would buy that in a heart beat
🙂👍
Okay Ron, now I'm a subscriber so make more videos. It's Keith
Thanks! Working on a few things
Thank you very much !!
Did you use a bearing in the triangle set up?
No. Just heavy lube. Not meant for heavy every day use. I mainly use it for texturing metal
Huge Respect for this!
I dont quite understand the purpose of the spring, i have seen hammer of this style with a spring in between the arms, what does it actually provide as a benefit?
Kind Regards =)
It keeps the hammer in the upright position after you strike with the hammer the spring brings it back up for you to hit it again
@@ronrobicheaux3245 Sir, thank you for your quick answers, i really appreciate that you are helping another beginner!
You are welcome
Great little hammer, i got some questions.
How much pounds is the hammer head ?
And what is the RPM of the motor ?
Thanks.
14 pounds. Not sure of the RPMs it is missing the badge but I experimented with different size pulleys thank you for the compliment good luck making yours
Thanks for the reply.
You’re welcome
nice hammer! what size stock is the driver made from?
michael cassetta 3inch. Weighs 14lbs. Thx for your interest
3inch. Weighs 14lbs. Thx for your interest
I would like to see this with more space between the hammer and anvil.
Wasn’t meant for large items. Mainly for drawing out reigns Planishing and texturing. Plenty of room for adjustment if you’re planning to build one. Good luck
Sweet ,do you have dimensions for the part that holds the ram ,the thing with the srpting thats the hard part
john sabatka not sure what part you mean
Not sure what part you mean
I'm assuming that the motor mount in the back is hinged some way?
You are correct
@@ronrobicheaux3245 thank you, I am going to try to build this.I have been researching alot on you tube and there are alot of great power hammers out there but I like yours the best because of the compact size.I think it would serve me well, thank you
Awesome. Send pics when you’re done. Good luck!
yeah its cool and I'm late to the party. BUT why did you not mount ot on something solid? that table bounce killed its power.
Good observation! I could stiffen it but it’s not a problem for me. I mainly use it for flattening straightening texturing and planishing.
when is the next video???
are you going to be posting more videos?
Will probably post an update sometime in the near future
What is this particular action called
Reciprocating
