Karl - very clever design, and simple enough for any fabricator to build!
Love the Macgyver Pullmax!
"I'm not an engineer. . ."
Actually, you are. Engineering predates university degrees.
Haha I guess that makes sense
It’s nice to see that your showing people that anyone can build something from scratch out of junk with simple tools even if you have to borrow a tool to finish it off . Great job thank you
* I like a power hammer that doesn't crack the slab and rattle my kids' fillings out.*
You give people to much credit. Most can’t even change a tire.
@@jakefromstatefarm9721 yep, most don't know the difference between their azz and a hole in the ground.
Does it really matter how good someone is. If Karl can inspire them to give it a go isn’t that the ultimate outcome!
Nice build, very neat and simple! You say you’re not an engineer but there she stands, and she works well. You have great intuition and a very competent set of hands. Those two things are better than any degree in the real world, in my experience.
You blow me away. Is there anything you can’t do. I was as excited as you while you were building this thing. I love this channel it gives me inspiration for my projects. Keep it up.
Your skill with a torch is incredible and the build of this machine reminds me of stuff that my dad used to make. He loved to fabricate and you have that same passion towards the build.
I am sooooooo looking forward to attempting a build like this myself. I have a buddy CNC cutting out the bead roller for me right now. So a scrap power hammer sounds like the next tool build for my shop! Thank Carl (JapHands)
Thank you for the instruction video on this hammer build. Nice Job! Keep them coming Karl.
Karl, you are such a wonderful person. Sharing your enthusiasm, skill, knowledge with the world -- thank you so much.
Agree 100 % !!
Brilliant work, Karl. If you add a coolant feed and catch-tank to your pillar drill your drill bits will last 10 x longer. I use a vibration pump out of a domestic espresso machine - they are very cheap. You have inspired me to build a power hammer now!
I really appreciate both that you make the work of metal shaping approachable as well as making the entry to it - by making your own tools - approachable. In your "storytime" segment, you said a number of times about how you were in awe of metal shaping for a long time before you had a chance to take Christian Sosa's class and actually give it a try. I think a lot of people out there are at that point - and many never get past it. I give you a lot of credit for showing people that doing these things are attainable and it is just a matter of making the effort.
Nice work Karl, another machine to build for my workshop. just in case you dont know you can rotate the clutch mechanism on the front of the motor by loosening the bolts that hold the clutch assembly to the motor then you rotate it so you can orientate the lever to suit you foot linkage. Cheers Greg
I’m Didn’t know!! lol would have been helpful
Ripper💪
That's what old school is all about.
Using your head and hands rather than your credit card is such an important yet forgotten skill. I can only inspire my son, Good to know, there is someone doing that job on a bigger scale.
Good onya 👍
DUDE! You are an inspiration! After taking the class with you and Christian, I was feeling like "how can I justify buying a Pullmax?" (I loved that machine) I now have my answer. Challenge accepted! I'm going to build one! But I will use my lathe!
Awesome Larry!!!! I know yours will turn out amazing
Built a bead roller modified from your design, not finished yet, want to build a power hammer similar to Steve Shepards Petingal hammer, and a pullmax type machine, lot of work before I can get to a car, but you're an inspiration.
Wow, I'm blown away! From the title of the video, I thought you were just going to assemble a kit. Probably one of your best videos. Love your tool making. You're also pretty dam good with the gas torch. Keep up with the great content.
Thanks Tim it was fun to make!
You’ve done it again. I want to build one of these hammers. I am amazed how simple the mechanism is. Cranium Engineering at its best. Think it, build it!
So much fun making stuff man lol
You already are an engineer and a designer. Excellent work.
Fantastic Job Karl - Thanks for sharing
One of my favorite of your videos so far💚🇬🇧🌱 love how you've kept it simple for us poor folk who don't have lathes & CNC... It's great seeing you work it out as you go, Genius at work! Thanks Karl👍
Awesome build. As a dyslexic, I can really see how this can be done without a plan or blueprint. To make something like this out of scrap and off the cuff is right up my alley.... just love it. 🙂👍
This has been an inspirational offering on how to turn previous mistakes into triumph!! Thanks, JD
Great work love that you did it using simple tools too !
Hey Karl,
Really great video !
The darn thing actually does what it was built to do.
Some of the vibration may be eliminated by grease in all the moving and sliding parts as well as some heavy gussets within the C frame.
If you decide to add the gussets, do not just weld them in the center of the tubes as they will cause the area you weld them to to flex and crack.
You can add thick pads that cover a large area to affix the gussets to or weld them to the outer sides.
Great job man.
The best and easiest way to gusset that would be to use the same 4x6 tube
I believe he knows all that 😂😂😂😂
Carl, this is awesome. I’m a mechanical engineering student about to graduate with my degree next month, you did a great job designing and building this machine. Can’t wait to give it a go for myself and see how it turns out!
I've thought about making my own tools for a long time now. just watching these series of tool builds has made my mind up to get off my ass an just do it
Thank you thank you thank you!!
I bought an old farm site about 5 years ago and I’ve been steady picking through all the old wood and metal and everything else that people have piled up around here over the last 100 years and using it to build things and furniture and an ice fishing house and lots of other stuff. It’s fun to just let your imagination loose and challenge yourself to build whatever it is you need out of whatever you got laying around 👍 tell Brenda I says hi!
" Google engineering degree.." That cracked me up! Karl thanks I needed that laugh!!! I believe the half horsepower should work fine for that purpose. Shouldn't need anything any bigger than that. Ya made yourself a descent little metal stretcher there bud..looks pretty cool. That tool will definitely come in handy for sure.
When it comes to Fabricating my own Tools and Garden Tractor Attatchments, I have always tried to sketch at least 4 variations (thumbnails) so I am able to follow our beloved "K.I.S.S." method in order to try different styles and techniques.
Plus, when it is drawn, you always have an eraser to change anything before making that first cut of material!
When it comes to "larger projects" such as your Recipicating Hammer, I visit my local Big Box Store or Grocery Store, and ask for a few "Pallet Slips" (cardboard peices that help protect the palletised goods) early in the morning after they stock shelves.
You can NEVER have too many of these, as they also work splendidly for C.A.F.E. (Cardboard Aided Fabricating & Engineering) that we all know of.
As I am only 14:53 into this video (so far), Zerk fittings will be your Best Friend to keep everything from seizing... Especially if you grind in a few (4-8) groves into the Vertical "hammer arm" without having to worry about Seals about ½" above the Zerk Fitting at "absolute bottom" of the throw.
Afternoon Karl... Ingenious!!!! What is so righteous is when you & a customer walk into your shop, they see the equipment YOU made to do any given job!!
Kudos to you!!
Making tools is a good way to figure out how to use em 😂
Awesome stuff man. Love watching your work. Been an engineer for more years than i care to count and find myself on the opposite side of the world having emigrated needing to start over with a new workshop. Keep up the good work 🤟
Love your enthusiasm and creativity
BEAUTIFUL !!!!! PAINT IT !!!!!!! GO TO WORK !!!!!!
Nice project, I like that you didn’t make it too tall, it’s easier to control the metal that way.
Thanks for sharing.
I never tire of Karl's videos and I've been an engineer for fifty years. A master of keep it simple stupid that works beautifully.
You can tell the quality of the craftsman by how tidy their work area is too.
Bill George I'm impressed that you with your fifty years as a engineer didn't try to impress people with your knowledge. You simply complimented Karl on his work and tidy work environment.
Thank you. The truth is, I admire Karl's expertise in these videos and because he's still loving his work. Even with all of those years I take great pleasure in watching a rounded craftsman creating useful equipment from odds and ends. It brings back memories of being in the middle of nowhere, all you have is a welder-generator, a gas axe and a grinder with a pile of scrap to make something usable. What impresses me with Karl is his ability to do the same thing, employing basic tools yet still produce a polished product. Hopefully he'll start to get the recognition he deserves by reaching a million subscribers.
Work of art Karl, well done!
You make a soul feel that you are talking personally to him individually. I is a special people skill that makes one feel that you are good friends. Thank you so much
I love your idea of welding the round pipe at a 90° angle so that you can cut along the length of the pipe! That should have been a pro tip
This video has cemented Karl as a genius. The guy is brilliant.
I was thinking the same thing!
Very well done. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the passion. Its contagious.
Thanks for making this video. You have inspired me to make a power hammer like the one you made. I greatly appreciate and admire your ingenuity and resourcefulness. Thank you.
I built a copy of this little guy with a couple tweaks, added a 10.5 driven sheave from an air compressor which gives it a little more power and I ran flange bearings on the frame to reduce friction and make it run smoothly. I had previously billed too much larger power hammer of my own design with a 48 inch throat and a four horse DC permanent magnet motor, but there are some things this little short style machine does better than my other stroke machine.
We love you making tools💚🇬🇧🌱
Great build Karl! You might consider adding a brace between the housings that contain the cam and the linkage to eliminate any flex and make the most of the up and down hammer movement. Can't wait to see the next installment.
Ya it could be stiffer for sure
Watching this video just gave me a great idea for a project on the farm. Thanks Karl
Fantastic build! If you were to add weight to the large pulley to counterbalance the stroke, it would take some of that vibration out. Either way, it's a very clever build my friend!
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 2 see & know👨🔧good job !! Make It Kustom ,
I've been working with metal all of my life as a welder and eventually a Maintenance Manager with an Associate Degree in Welding Technology. Worked In Steel Manufacturing for thirty years. Probably seen and done everything he's done in some form or another. I'm always entertained and learn a new way approach to metal working projects I take on now at Seventy. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
Love this kind of creativity and resourcefulness
1:01 - after being down in "the States" - wait, what? Always a pleasant surprise to land on good CDN metal fab content!
Very smart man, your idea worked very well. I was smiling the whole way through this video !!
"Keep on keeping on" THANKS
That really turned out Great. You really Hammered the Engineering.😁. I was wondering how you were going to get the Up and Down Motion for the Hammer. Like you said, you don’t need the Hammer to go very far in it’s movement. Plus you added the adjustment on the bottom. This is a Great Project for the do it yourself type Person. I think I will get some Metal together and make one. I have already made a nice 2” Belt Sander almost just like yours. Thanks for all the Work you do making these Videos. 👍👍
As for the pulley ratio, the PI's cancel out so 8/2 = 4/1 mechanical advantage. You've given me some ideas! Thanks man.
Ingenious and resourceful…..well done !
Man, you are so humble and awesome 👌 really enjoy your shows. So effective and efficient.
Nice job Karl, this is a great tool. Thanks for your videos, I watch all the time.
You are so positive. I love it.
Cool I made a 2 x72 belt sander out of 95 % scrap and and old treadmill motor good stuff 👍
That thing turned out a real winner! Love it …thanks
Plus with the "short throw" that this has, means less chances of fingers being crushed!
As a fellow engineer (environmental for a hardcaping company), your process and execution of this turned out at 8.75 out of 10 to me.
Using material you had in your Fabricating Shop (minus the Sewing Machine Moter and Flywheel), I would proudly claim this as mine (if I had a need for a brandished hammer) to be honest!
Please notify us of upgrades/modifications that you do/did with this. It is currently 31°F and 0254 PST here, but you deserve a "KUDOS" bar for this...
Sorry, I am 49yo, so you may not know what is ment. This was an early 1980s granola bar that was marketed "back in my teenage years", you executed this build excellently Bro!
Well there ya go, a Little bit of scrap some good Knowledge, Look at what you can create. Brilliant Job Karl, works like a Bought One!
This is awesome, Karl!
Man when you pulled on that clutch and it started hammering… I think I smiled as much as you did. Awesome build!
Hahaha 🤣
Wow! This is wicked! Dude I love how anyone can do this! Thanks! Thought you were gonna mostly assemble a kit or something… this is a whole other level 🤘🤘🤘🤘 love it!
Loved this video! Thanks for staying off the mill & lathe! Junk Yard Wars baby!!!
Nice clamps (welds piece to table)! I'll have to remember that one.
Bravo! Very inspiring. Keep up the good work!
I have that exact same motor with pedal,I've now got a plan after watching your video,thanks a ton. Great tutorial as usual.
Keep it up Karl! I’ve been watching from the beginning. Never disappoints.
Thanks Carl, I've been building one in my head for awhile, I think you've answered any concerns as to whether it would work. Cool build.
I will build one over the summer.
Cheers
Awesome build, great video
Love this machine building stuff👍
Fair play, I made a planishing hammer with a air chisel after watching yours, but I'm loving this, can't wait to make one. Love a challenge.
It's so inspiring to see how Karl is happy and excited by his work)
Excellent work as usual!
Awesome job Karl!
Awesome work! Thanks
Great video, thanks for all you do!!!!
Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
I love that big drill bit, awesome 😂
Real nice job Karl Looks great
Just WOW !
Thanks
Those sewing machine motors are severely underrated. I used one to start the slave motor on a rotary phase converter for a guy. Dude thought I was Mcgauver lol
Great video idea!!!! Love the idea, very original, in my opinion. We love learning.
Love you're work mate. Awesome.😊
Hey, thanks very much for all you do Karl! Hope to meet you at a car show this year
Awesome! Gives me hope! Who doesn't need more tools!
Awesome job very inspiring and simple!
Karl, I have been waiting for you to make this video. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for years.
I can empathize with your machine building excitement. I have been working on a 20" disc sander. More for wood working then metal working. It's machine building none the less. This is mostly made out stuff I have on hand as well.
Your hammer is awesome. I have seen pictures of the pull max and Yoder hammers, but haven't fully explored the mechanisms that make them work. Great stuff!!
thank you so much, I finally understand completely how a pullmax works including the adjustable stroke
You’re welcome!!
Karl thanks for helping halfasskustom very nice
That's badass! Nice job!
Amazing Karl Thrift looking forward to the dies being made!
k
Awesome Idea, thx for Sharing!
That's flipping amazing👌👍👍👍👍!love it! Thank you soo much!!!
Thanks now I know what next weekends project is. Every cool.
Kudos brother for sharing that with us!!!
And this is the exact reason we keep all those little bits of scrap steel. Very interesting build Karl. Probably not something I would make, however. You could easily take that mechanical movement and use it for ??? That's what's nice about being able to look at a mechanical object and see how it works.
Just awesome!
