I know from experience the day a power hammer finally moves into where it needs to be a day for celebration! The day I moved mine from its workshop ‘build’ phase to its home into the forge it took a few friends, lots of swearing and sweat but we had a great successful day and finished it out with beers and a BBQ!
What a massive project - congratulations and look forward to seeing it in action!
It's been fun watching the progress. Thanks for sharing.
Moving that hammer into place is just damned impressive!!
Heck Yeah! Well done Torbjorn.
Nice progress, looking great!
It's coming along very nicely, well done!
Wow, compared to your old one this thing is massive! Awesome project Torbjörn!
congratulations for the work and for the mallet
Wow, great video, thank you for sharing!
Impressive. Great work. I love learn from the best craftmen.
Thank you.
congratulations! a lot of very well documented steps for a very good setup. I'm sure the hammer feels good :-)
Finally ! I can't wait to see you forge on this =) !
such a pleasure to watch your work
Looking forward to see some of your work with this beauty
Congratulations! i can't wait to see all great things you can do with the new power hammer! The new hammer of the Gods :) Greetings form Argentina
can't wait to see it in action!
You are the KING! Real NUMBER ONE!!!
AWESOME!!!
Can't wait to see a new and powerfull blacksmith forging again and again :D :D !!!

I can't wait to see what you create with this.
Meticulous and precise. That went very well.
Amazing work! I know finally getting that thing in your shop had to feel great. I can't wait to see what you do with it!
Good luck mate!
Hey congrats dude! Happy to see you can get back to doing what you love!
...Walk like an Egyptian :-). Moved like in ancient times. Nice job and very interesting YT channel.
Many thanks!
Nice job on the concrete! Looking forward to seeing that baby in action!!
Very nicely done! That is big job and you clearly thought things through very well. Looking forward to future videos.
Nice to see the progress: excellent floor pour, sub-layers and move! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next video. We all want to see it working as I am sure you do too. Enjoyed!
Jim Milne Thank you very much!
great job mr.
wow what a great project, i hope all of your hard work is rewarded 100 times over.
+patrick jaroch He he... That remains to be seen :) It was fun at least.
You have done such fine work! The new area has undergone a wonderful transformation! Your skill set is broad. As good with wood as with metal! Very happy for you!
KillerKane Thank you!
It looks beatiful
That power hammer is a beast. Used to work with concrete, that was a great pour. Understand harmonics a little, without that insulation, the vibrations would turn that concrete into dust in a short time. Appreciate your craftsmanship.
Thanks!!
Congratulations! An exercise in controlled movement, especially with it's great weight!
Eugene Simonalle Yes it went surprisingly easy, even with a small uphill travel :)
Very nice!
Man... that's a stunning piece of equipment. A lot of work to be able to place it, but I'm sure that's worth it! Great job, mate. Can't wait to see you back working on steel! Cheers!
Nerfeel Thanks! A lot more work than first anticipated but I hope it's worth it. The shop has been a total mess but now I can finally forge again!
Nice set up.
Thanks!
Awesome Job
Enjoyed your thinking processes on the bed and move! That was a real nice toe jack, haven't seen one like that. Also admire your patience for setting this up well for yourself. It's really coming together and will be a fine addition to your shop and skills. Thanks for sharing. ~PJ
pjsalchemy Thanks for the encouragement!
Questo non l.avevo visto il mio mestiere e carpentiere e ferraiolo ottimo lavoro per la base del maglio
magnific!!!
workshop of death, sent me... and i like what i see.. what a beast of a power hammer
Fantastiskt bygge av grund o bas, snyggt jobbat. Dessutom blir filmerna längre o längre, skulle lätt kunna titta på 2h av detta - är förvånansvärt rogivande att se på! :-)
Victor Lindgren Kul att du tycker det!
The man's dream!
Che capolavoro! Mettere in opera quel bellissimo maglio, ci voleva proprio la tua precisione . Buona serata Torbjörn , un abbraccio di cuore!
Thank you!
both eyes and my right ear enjoyed it :)
:) Sorry about that...
I want one. Great job. :-)
Amazing!! I love your videos, but i hate when they end :)
Thanks!!
Was that the limited edition ABBA jacket? Worn in a workshop? How dare you!!!??? 😜 haha! This popped up in my recommended during the 2020 pandemic. Cheers from Chicago!
:) Sadly it has nothing to do with the music group
woo hoo! part 6 is here!
Admiration for solid wood over plywood. Way to go.
Almost ready to play
renemanjr123 Almost :) Need to construct a decent mount for the motor and forge bolts...
spettacolare quel maglio ! veramente forte!
Thanks! Yes, it's a beast.
Very cool
The suspense is killing me!
Danke
Nice video.
Since it can really get going so soon with you forge with the
Günter Schöne Still some stuff to fix... bolting it down and figuring out a good motor mount.
That's right, they are supposed to be safe and anchored. The motor was supposed to be securely attached and also have the right performance. Otherwise, makes the "work" because yes no fun!
Есть, есть еще в Швеции настоящие самцы!
Maassssive like!
How many pounds (or Newtons) of force do you predict the powerhammer will be able to dish out? How many pounds (or Newtons) was your smaller powerhammer able to put out?
I enjoy watching your work, excellent!
Francisco Chavez Thanks! A 75kg ram weight hammer like this has a specified hit energy of about 1 kJ. The force could probably be calculated.... I have no idea about my old hammer, maybe 1/4 of that (it has a 25kg ram).
Wat type of “soft board” do you use around the concrete foundation? Is it some type of plywood, rubber, …..?
The "ABNO" is probably the best hammer You can get at that size.
We also use some of them here.
We considering taking up production of spare parts for them later when we hawe our drop forging machines mounted.
Sheep_Ewe Yes, it's a great hammer. Cool! Where are you based? I have heard that the original manufacturer still have some parts laying around but that might have been some years ago.
Torbjörn Åhman
Nothern Sweden, a bit belov Ö-vik, interesting if so, we also hawe some of the very last spareparts made for it, but i think we need them as patterns for messurement while making forgedies if this project may be performed. I hope it is possible and not protected by patents and stuff anymore, think we hawe to check it up a bit more seroius before putting more effort in this project.
But, first we need new fundaments to the drop forging machines... About 30 Kiloton concrete for each macine only for the base, and those are small macines... :D
Sheep_Ewe Wow... Kul, hoppas ni får till det. De flesta original-delarna är väl gjutna bara... men klart några kunde säkert må bra av att bli smidda för bättre hållfasthet, tex. fästet för fjäderpaketet. Skulle själv behöva en "mellandel" till städet, där lax-stjärten är i princip helt av. Sedan är det ju svårt för att inte säga omöjligt att få tag på fjädrar i rätt storlek verkar det som. Går antagligen att få dit nya i mm, men det blir något tjockare.
Mest excenteraxeln och det som måste vara smidda (annars splittras den för lätt, tror den var sänksmidd i orignal också på samma vis med plankhejare), men vi har även utrustning till att tillverka egna gjutjärnsdetaljer så allt kommer att bli nära original eller förbättrat där det är motiverat av hållfasthets skäl i så fall.
Fjäderpaktet går att tillverka nytt men det är ganska bökigt att göra själv, men behöver någon ett sådant kan jag fråga om offert i mail.
Kan höra om mellandelen vid intresse.
Men misstänker att det kan bli ganska dyr att göra enstyckestillverkning av den.
Men om det är intressant kan du maila mig på mediatorget snabela hotmail punkt com (inte företagets, vet inte om vi har någon ännu) så kan vi snacka detaljer och jag kan skicka mailuppgifter och sådant till de som har hand om det.
Alternativt kan du kanske skicka in den gamla för lagning så tror jag att vi kan djupsvetsa den och fräsa om infattningen.
(Den är litet knepig att svetsa då det är gjutgods så jag rekommenderar nickelbaserade elektroder och ordentlig förvärmning med långsam avsvalning om man vill försöka själv. (Samt så klart riktig urtagen djupsvetsning. Dock är det någon typ av gjutstål i den och inte vanligt "svart" kol/kiselgods har jag för mig.).
Torbjörn Åhman
Jag skall gå dit om någon minut så skall jag höra och ta en titt på våra, är det lilla modellen du har?
Pretty sweet dude
Wow! Where can I find a hammer like that!
Yep, that's how the pyramids were built! Do you ever get noise complaints from your neighbors? Can't wait to see this in action. I know this was 2015, but it is all new to me.
:) No complaints so far.
where is that power hammer made ? is it a good unit ? amazing work there just to get it as it sits now..
It was made in Germany. It's very good, but I have some issues with the mounting points for the dies, but that has to do with later modifications.
Great work.Why did you put a layer of wood between power hammer and foundation? What is the material that you put under the wood? I am confused.
Adil Gorez Thanks! The wood will act as a small dampening/shock absorber hopefully leaving the foundation from the worst force. I think it will also even out imperfections on the bottom casting making it stand firm. The first "sheet" is just tar paper to act as a moisture barrier.
Thanks Torbjörn. Looking forward for new works.
Torbjörn Åhman is that piece of wood sacrificial? will it need to be replaced regularly?
PastyNoob At some point I'm sure it will need replacement... Lets hope for the best.
PastyNoob
It will last for wery long time normally. We hawe not needed to cange any of our rustbeds since we instelled it, and H&H told me ha only needed to replace one of his underground rusts, but he made them of oakwood and dig them down deep into the earth, but he´s hammers are monstruous size compared to normal ones...
But it also possible to use heavy gauge lead sheets (stack some sheats of led to desired height, but i strongly reccomend at least two or tree layers appending on thickness since the material stress will be significant under a powehammer and the led will probably stretch out a bit in some areas when using the hammer) instead of wood as an option, but i still recommend using that pice of tar paper or bitumen cloth as a moisture barrier.
Ser fram emot när dendär är i full sving!

Bulb B Jag med :)
I love the short length of railroad rail used as a weight at times. What was the weight of rail it came from?
Patriot1776 Not sure... probably 60 kg/m or something like that. It's a pretty big profile...
Torbjörn Åhman Works out to around 120 lb./yard, pretty close to the heft of rail used for Class I mainline trackage here in North America, since freight wagons over here can weigh up to 130,000 kg fully loaded. Heh heh, it did wonderful flattening out the concrete.
may I ask what kind of power hammer that is, I like the black paint.
It's a bêché hammer (made in Germany). Model LGO2, manufactured 1955 I have been told.
This thing is beautiful! Where did you geit this big machine from?
KEY EHEK Bought it from a fellow smith. It's all about keeping your eyes and ears open :)
Not that easy in germany. There is not that much of blacksmithing over here anymore. All their stuff is corroding on scrapyards and mostly so badly, even you would have a hard time bringing it back to be used :D
KEY EHEK That's sad... Found this page. Mostly large machines but keep looking - www.exapro.com/metal-foundry-presses-forging-hammers-c132/
thanks, I am going to take a look...
Ja Midroc är ett bra företag!
+Abraham Lincoln Ha ha, ja svärfar jobbade där en gång i tiden...
How much power hammer like that costs and where can you get them?
zumbazumba1 Tricky question. It depends greatly on condition and where you find one. I would guess in the range $3000(used)-$15000(new). Keep your eyes and ears open and ask around...
where can i buy one of these?
What kind of jack is that? What brand and capacity?
I don't remember, it was something we borrowed for the job. I think they had 5000kg capacity. Search for "ratchet jack"
Well done, is that your Dad helping?
My father in law! He used to work as a construction worker.
Ok good one.
How much does it weigh?
About 3000kg
Awesome progres, soon back into buisness.
🇧🇷😎👍👏👏
Good video but how come you took so long to upload
I'd assume this isn't his day job. But it also kight have to do with lengthy concrete curing times in large blocks of concrete.
george gibbons Allot of things to tend to... plus some extra work for the small foundation for my small hammer.
Sounds of wolfs in the background ?
+Pan Lis Ha ha, no.
E74
No footage of the hammer in use!!
Kevin Keel Patience! The motor is not hooked up yet... There will be an update on the bolts today or tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to it. I'm building my own hammer as we speak
OCD Blacksmith?
***** Probably :)
заебись
боюсь мистер Torbjörn Åhman вас не поймет!
Нур Аманыч I googled it - en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%8C
wood working skills are weak bro
Can you make that out from this clip? Me cutting a rough pice of wood to use under my hammer?
An ugly gesture to throw the level to the ground. I hold you in better esteem.
All that work! All that money! All that wasted effort. Why would a mechanic put a wood spacer between all that steel and all that solid concrete? Might as well put a conveyor belt under it or a layer of marshmellows.. The amount of lost strike weight/force being absorbed by anything not steel or concrete is exactly that, absorbed. Not transmitted to the workpiece. I have been around a few powerhammers and have never seen anyone put a soft (wood is soft compared to that machine base.) shock absorber under one. What was the reasoning behind that? To dampen the blow? Corrosion resistance? Appearance? Following someone else's plans or advice? Somebody set my mind at ease here. Why reduce that machines effectiveness?
I actually got the original plans for mounting this machine. It does not call for wood but another type of absorber material. I reached out to several experienced people and they all suggested to put something "soft" in between. I can share your concern in a way and can't explain why this is preferred. My guess is it might deteriorate the concrete quite fast if you have direct contact. What the wood also does is that it makes sure you get a good "contact" area under the machine. Both the concrete and the underside of the machine is not perfect surfaces so putting something that can "conform" to the surfaces might be a good thing.
