Please do not send any info or money to any account claiming to be me- it’s a scam!
Thanks for dealing with it. Looks like the account that pinged me isn’t visible anymore. I wonder how many “winners” it chose..
@@Deesdessessesder sucks that it happens, but there was about 800 comments it looks like
Thanks for the heads up. It is sad that people do that.
Sucks that this happened. It's awesome that you stay on top of this kind of stuff will.
How do I know THIS comment isn't a scam???
You should measure the wear between the shaft and the old bearing, it would be interesting to see how out of spec it is
Jup, also very important to choose the correct bore size and oil viscosity, going forward. Otherwise the bearing will wear out prematurely
57.5 lbs?
@@JCisHere778 let my brother borrow a chainsaw. He has no idea what viscosity means. Thought engine oil could be swapped with bar oil. Had to rebuild my ms180 down to new piston. Bar,chain, brake, shaft,and even piston was scored when came back. Guessing piston was running out of premix I gave him and he just put unmixed gas. Kinda been his life story on borrowing my stuff. So I kinda blame myself for lending it.
Thermal expansion factor of bronze is higher than iron so it's understandable that it popped off only after bronze was cooled down.
they do that on some safe doors so you can't attack them with torches
they have round doors with a ring of copper or brass inside that seals the doors when heated
That’s exactly what I came here to say.
If there’s anyone who doubts how HARD this is, there are parts that weigh 50lbs and Will just handles it like no problem. I can’t imagine working on this project by myself. Wild!
42 lbs, Will you crack me up man. There were so many moments I was holding my breath on this video waiting for the chaos to ensue. Thanks for another awesome and scary video
Damn! That was going to be my guess too! I'll go 43lb
It’s definitely close or spot on to 42… I went less a half lb
Will that looks like a mechanical fatigue crack. They will typically start in the root of the first fully engaged thread in a fastener (where the stress is the highest). Typically they are caused by loosing the preload on the fastener which caused the stress profile to change. They take a while to initiate and grow. you probably have more on the other hold down bolts.
That's exactly right. I work as a fractographer and I analyse in service failures of metal components and what you said is 100% true. I couldn't get a good enough / clean enough look at the ruptured surfaces, but it does look like a fatigue crack. Loosing of the preload makes a lot of sense considering he said the wood underneath compresses over time, meaning the bolts do lose their preload over time.
Will, if you somehow see this, the other bolts, or at least some of the other bolts probably have fatigue cracks in them as well, propagating over time with each hit from the hammer. Now, it could also be a specific defect in the thread of that particular bolt, like a rough machining or a left over rolling defect from the manufactured round bar for example. That would explain why this bolt has failed and the others have not yet. Truth be told, it could be a number of thing. Just the preload can affect the fatigue life of a bolt, so maybe this one loosened more than the other?
Yup... gotta tighten bolts basically every use, even if it feels tight already.
It's great to be back watching your adventures and the *big* growth in subscribers. Bravo!
I am so glad you are in a good rhythm with your channel. You are nailing it. A joy to see.
if you haven't decided yet, i think the bearing would make an AWESOME base for a sculpture/furniture design, like it's literally 100 years old (i may or my not have an extra fondness for brass)
Bronze not brass
Copper+tin vs copper and zinc
Bronze can scrub up killa but doesn't look like fake gold
The fear on your face at 11:15, when you thought the hammer somehow powered up, was priceless. But also shows how much respect you should have for this type of machine!
i think that was more him being upset at the noise ruining the take?
Always love the old machine refurbishing. Good to see engineering & mechanic principles in action
I was in a workshop of an old-school light engineers who does some bits and pieces of machining for me. Out of nowhere there was an almightly bang from the other side of the shop. It was the cast iron engine barrel liner from a big marine diesel letting go in his big hydraulic press. He'd put it in there the day before, decided he had enough pressure on so left it there with a wooden board in front to contain any shrapnel if the cast iron bombed. His comment was "It's got near 60 tonnes on, I know it's going to move. It's just a matter of when.".
This is so inspiring and eye opening to see you make and refine tools to accomplish a task. Also, I don't expect to ever own anything like this but still so interesting to watch. Great job!
Will, I deeply enjoy your humor. This had me busting a gut! Also, I just love how you have no hesitation at all about dismantling this thing. Just like... I'll build a puller for that. I'll build a pusher for this. So good.
Yup. Youthful fearlessness. And if a problem crops up. . .deal with it.
Your problem solving skills and ability to make almost anything are very enjoyable to watch.
You are the hope of our future. The reason this job was so difficult is because everyone else who used this machine before you knew how tough this job was to tackle and they didn’t want to do what you just did. Events that happened since the early 1900’s all came together which allowed YOU to be born, take an interest in this kind of work, build enough muscle, make enough mistakes until you gained enough confidence and talent to see what all the other men in history saw and you actually did what they deemed too much trouble. Boy I wish there were more of you guys around these days. This country sorely needs men like you if it expects to survive. Good luck to you because if you get hurt doing this type work it’s game over. God bless you and men like you.
Cool. Just happened to get online right now.
* EDIT* Hey Will, my first guess was 46.5 pounds. But I have since created a 3D model in Inventor by superimposing dimensions based on the O.D. and I.D. dimensions you provided. With an estimated length of about 14.5 inch, my new "guess" is *32.8 lbmass*. Thanks for the fun video!
I was guessing about the same based on 16 inch length of tube with a density of around 8900 kg/m3 . I wasn't sure how much to estimate in the 'oil reservoir"
I've been watching your channel from the beginning and you always entertain. I think it's humble of you to show your mistakes. It shows all of us that you are human. Another great show.
God bless
Pat
45.5 lbs. Love seeing these old hammers put back into service. Cant wait to see the follow up on this one.
44.5 lbs. I absolutely love that you mentioned the number one priority in your life was Jesus. The way these old machines were built to last makes evething that's new look like garbage.
What a good young man. It took me till 40 to figure life out.
The issue with your statement is your comparing what was top of the line to what is available to hobbyists today. Call up a top of the line machine builder today and see what you can get.
Pully puller and a bushing pusher. Love it!
55lbs. Props to you my man. This video is a prime example of why I will never be a mechanic. I lost track of how many tools you had to make in order to take apart your tool.
The number one rule for any building project sticking point is: "The solution only appears after you have made a trip to the hardware store and bought something you don't actually need."
So I always buy an extra clamp, drill bits, level, or maybe just a tube of epoxy , anything to get that rule pre-satisfied.
And here we see a wild Stelter in his natural environment - perched precariously atop an antique power-hammer.
Repairing old tools is easily 60% of my enjoyment in smithing. This was a joy to watch.
I am always impressed with the amount of knowledge Will has for such a young man. I also love his sense of humor which takes the place of many name calling requirements when trying to work on any machinery but especially on his vintage stuff.
Be careful... already had someone attempt to scam me on this video. This looks really similar.
hey i hand scrape bronze for our horizontal forging machines! Make sure once you get it scrapped to fit you do a slight crosshatch over it to get clearance for oil flow!!!
56.08 freedom units (lbs.)
Loving your content! Authentic and honest. Also a big fan of your first favorite thing! God Bless!
Love the bearing purse Will! Very stylish!
Be good to see you make the new bearing at fireball tool. Always good seeing you and the guys there doing good stuff
I love your jokes they are so good. Amazing stuff seriously. So glad you have an amazing shop. Keep it up.
78 lbs. Love watching you keep this piece of work8ng history alive. I saw that power hammer in the shop in Eureka. Very cool to see it is not rusting away.
@[ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ @Willboze SCAMMER ALERT
Keep up the great work Will. I saw the title and thought dropped another power hammer. Stay safe and take care.
I am so envious that there are machines like that available in your area. I'm from Michigan and machines like those only survive in heated shops.
I'm leaning toward the lighter side on that bearing, my guess is 38 lbs.
God speed on this project, sir.
I love the power hammer rebuilds!
The dog's expressions as you explain are priceless
A minute or two petting his dog makes the video way better! Couldn't quite catch the pup's name. Was it Marty?
It cool to see you pull apart this hammer. I work at a forging shop as a industrial tech and we have 7 Ceco hammers. It’s cool to see people outside of my normal realm of people work on hammers!
God bless Will! enjoy your videos and its great to see you improve. What do you plan to do for Lent this year?
Thank you for sharing
52.8lbs is my guess! I love watching you restore these big ol’ pieces of history! Can’t wait to see the next episode! Keep it up Will!
@[ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ @Willboze SCAMMER ALERT
love watching your work arounds on the equipment and that you keep it all up and running like you do. I guess it is 38 lbs
Fixing and servicing power hammers is my favorite Will Stelter content. Especially when they don't tip over. Also, can I get the everyday carry bearing in black?
I think it will be right around 30 lbs. Good on you for taking the time to get it working properly!
I love those old machines! It’s awesome that you restored them! My guess is that the bearing weights 40.2 Lbs.
~60lbs. Bearing Bronze is 8.93 g/cm3 (C93200) and generally high due to the high lead content, the bearing is 5in, 12.7cm OD, 4.5in, 11.43 ID, and I'm using 15in, 38.1cm for length as I wasn't able to find the exact length of a No9 bearing but it looks like 1:3 ratio in the shot of it standing up. Volume of a cylinder is πr2h, so 19306-15638=3668 cm3. We also need to remove the central oil groove which looks maybe 1/8in on either side for 5in ignoring the taper which is 6435-5808=627 cm3, so we have 3041 cm3 * 8.93 = 27,156g or roughly 60lbs.
20:41 This little segment was so silly, and I loved it. 😂
Not gonna lie, I saw the title and thought, "oh no! Another one fell!?!?" 🤣 Hopefully you can get the Beaudry up and running as smooth as it was meant to be! 🙂
Hi Will, That key that you had a hard time to remove, is called a Gibb key. It is tapered and driven in. To remove it you drive a tapered wedge shaped tool under the hook of the head and it slides right out. They were also used to hold the flywheels and pulleys on, on our old antique engines. We have to use caution on small hubs, if they are driven to tight the hub can be cracked. I like old machinery. 👍👏
Nice! Tool restorations are my type of jam! ^^
Been wondering about the powerhammer finish though. Is that some type of Japanning/lacker?
23 pounds for the bronze? I love how you are not afraid to dive into fixing those marvelous old power tools.
You need a maple or other hardwood base. When the anvil gets hit it goes down a micro distance INTO the soft wood and THEN bounces back up, eventually breaking something. Be glad it broke the bolt instead of the cracking the anvil eye.
Bearing looks to be about 15Lbs or 7Kg empty, and 25Lbs or 11Kg filled with tools.
Yes! That's awesome!
This was really really good Will!
I'd guess around 28lbs on the bearing, great vid, love watching old machines being restored and used for there intended uses.
For the algorithm and for you Will, you’re a nice guy :)
In this video, we make ridiculously big tools to work on the ridiculously big tool!
Love it!
47lbs. I love the Power Hammer series, can't wait for the next one!
Sixty two and a half pounds.
Yes, we were watching very carefully as you maneuvered those large heavy items with great delicacy and respect. I already knew you were in the habit since you still have all your fingers but still, it was good to see. ;) The one plate you let fall had my heart in my throat for just a second until I realized you weren't anywhere near underneath it.
Can't wait for the rest of the rebuild, and here's hoping you can do all of it in your shop. I'm having trouble imagining you uprooting that monster and risking transporting it again.
the EDC bearing got me. LOL
63.7 freedom units? Keep forging! Your an inspiration to so many.
might be done allready with all the grease dripping down from the bearing, but to prevent the wood from shrinking in too much, you can grease/lube it up. Just as they do for hammer/axe handles replace the water in the wood with some grease and it will evaporate a lot slower if at all.
29 pounds. So proud of the fact that you are courageous enough to openly share little bits of your faith in Christ. Keep it up brother!
Nothing can withstand the Stelternator9000!
Good luck with repairs and such.
I'm guessing right around 66 lbs on that. Another great video! Thank you for saving me from my boredom haha
62.5lbs. I always like your machine rebuild and maintenance videos, good stuff!
Thanks for filming Will! 👍😁
I suspect that the reason that bolt snapped was fatigue and streach. as the hammer probably compressed the wood slower than the anvil, it's putting them in a lot of tension, streatching them. combine that with impact fatigue and repeated re-tightening, and it's a recipe to snap them. you should really have some sort isolation media in there. maybe some kind of rubber washer, just to cushion the impact
You can read the history of the Burgmaster company, beginning to end, in the book “When the Machine Stopped” written by Max Holland. A fascinating story about the Burg family and the destruction of their company by the rise of conglomerate Houdaille Industries the 1960s.
Oh my goodness this had me chuckling throughout, great work sir you have a gift of humor as well! 33 lbs??
Will, you rock!
14:16- At first I thought you were going to lock your first device around the key and pull it out with an attached slide hammer.
15:33- The first factory I worked at had forges, and two of the control stations had those as bases to make them "stools nobody wants to swipe".
22:02- Forget the weight (21 pounds). I want to make a pair of lamps out of it! (Art-nouveau OR art-deco/ Dwarven engraved)
you are an impressive young man. I am always amazed.
53.7lbs. Defo need to see that bearing become part of your next knife build! Love the shenaniganfoolery
Will, 32.4 lbs for the bearing. Take it easy with the heavy stuff, take your time.
Best wishes from the far North.
Hopefully you have a copy of the Machinery’s Handbook as it has a lot of useful information in it including about redoing bearings on old machines. As far as guessing the weight of the old bearing, probably 60LBS or more for that size
I have no plans of ever getting a power hammer, and yet these videos are so interesting to watch. Also,
17:58
Crunchy Grease is the name of my indie folk band
48#
I think the bearing expanded when you heated it, but it cooled faster than the cast, so shrunk and popped out.
That's exactly what happened.
I think it is close to 39lbs. Love the work on the shop Will. Keep it up.
Great video! Love to watch you working on the beautiful old beast! Guessing 87# bearing/bushing weight. Blessing from Jerusalem
Phenomenal use of a Segway joke. Also great Video! Thanks
Wild guess of 50 Lbs Will. Great video thumbs up.
46.46lbs I started doing lathe work with a wood lathe this year and the more I see people do machining on metal lathes the more I want to learn that skill too - I just don't have anywhere to put a metal lathe.
It look's like by now UA-cam would have gave you your Checkmark (✔) after your name, by now.. When I read the title I was thinking OMG!! Did his power hammer fall over and brake to pieces.. What a relief to see it is just a "maintenance Thing" or rather the previous owners did not to proper maintenance on it... Always entertaining watching you tackle a 2 or 3 man job, all by yourself.. I really wish more of your generation was hard work oriented.. Thank you for sharing.. You are a poster child of what young adults should be like.. Be Blessed.....
Really hope that putting the ring around the anvil will still allow for some movement cuz if ur hammering and there isn’t any movement so much stress will go to the casting of the base
I'm going with 33.9 pounds for my guess - good luck with the repair! Looking forward to seeing you machine the new bearing.
Great video! All in all it came apart easier than I would have thought initially...
My guess is 40.5 lbs.
I'd say its 57lbs. I enjoy your videos always make them entertaining and still informative, thanks for sharing your world with all of us.
38 lbs. I absolutely love that power hammer. It's an amazing, functional, work of art.
Keep up the amazing work Will!
@[ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ @Willboze SCAMMER ALERT
I saw break the first one when it tipped over. Felt the pain man.
That wells horizontal band saw is mint!!! Did you talk about that in a previous video? I’d love some details on that piece.
As a cook I can honestly say every good cook loves a good blacksmith because without good black smith's making good knives it's really hard for us cooks to be good at our jobs. Please put out more chefs knives when you get a chance. Would love to buy some of your very beautiful work.
Ohh my I would love to have a custom knife by you. I have seen the stuff you have made. It’s very impressive. Now as for the bearing I would have to say. 3.4 pounds.
51 lbs Great video, Will. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
You have my corrupted luck stat...
We do great, we roll high numbers all day on every skill check.
Then, suddenly, when our confidence is at a peak and we are doing something like BREATHING... we swallow some spit and start dying, rolling a negative number when it should be impossible.
It doesn't get better, get an extra pair of hands to f*** up with you. It helps.
You're a young man that gives me hope for the future.
That everyday carry bearing is a brilliant idea... just think... if you ever get lost, you can use it to get your bearings....
Man, I’ve wanted to forge blades and other things for a VERY long time. I got hurt and was medically retired a while ago now. It’s taken a lot of my hobbies and goals away from me. I finally bit the bullet and got a small single burner forge and a piece of railroad track as an Anvil. I tried it all out and learned I can’t do very much and it costs me, and I end up in bed the following few days. I’ve tried to look for a cheap option to help, like a power assisted hammer or a press of some kind. I even thought about mounting a sledge hammer head to a long pole, with a spring to do the “heavy” lifting… Add a foot pedal that is attached to the hammer, so it’s not as rough on my lower spine injuries. I can’t even afford the pieces for something like that, and I don’t have a welder or welding experience to put it together.
That really was a good SEGWAY back to the video! 😂😁😇🤟
