  • Buy Organic Seeds here! www.seedsnow.c... This is my motorized bicycle power hammer. I finally got it finished and it does a really nice job at forging down bigger stock. I also go through the building of it a bit so you get an idea how you can do one yourself.

    Great little hammer you got there buddy! One suggestion when you're using charcoal if you can take in wet some of the charcoal that you do not need to be a blazed it will cut down on the fire fleas. Also if you cut off the fans blower while you are forging and then put your peace back in the fire then turn on the fan it will help reduce those as well :-) I hope those tips help you with your forging comfort LOL. Hope you have a great day today God bless you and I'll catch you on the next one

      Hi Roy thanks for the tips. Will try the water and somehow must remember to turn off the blower :) Keep forgetting. Watch a lot of your videos, they are very informative and you cover what people need to know. The leaf spring idea I got from one of your vids.
      Have a great day.
      David.

      Work With Nature awesome dude I'm glad that my videos have been helping you out :-) by the way you look someplace tropical where do you live at if you don't mind me asking?

      My wife and my self live in Kerala India, I have run a seed saving farm here for the past 3 years on volunteer bases. Planning to do that for at least the next 2 years, but may go back to Ireland at some point. BTW if I may say your wife is absolutely smitten by You :) Don't tell I said that though lol. Alright time to go off for dinner.

    A little loud for my tastes but good job with the hammer. Charcoal is my favorite fuel but it’s expensive and burns too fast for me. My forge burns 20 lbs of lump charcoal in 2 hours or less. That 20$ for two hours.i burn anthracite coal 4$ for 40 lbs. 20 lbs of the coal (half a bag) lasts around 18 hours. 18 hours for 2$ or 20$ for 2. Obviously I go with coal. The coal is really boring though did you re heat treat the hammerhead? The idea about the two peens. The problem is the peen speeds so fast because there is less surface area so it bites deeper with the same strength. Adding two and it decreases the presser on each peen

      You are right charcoal is so expensive and if I could get coal I would use that. Here down in south india it is hard to get it were I live but charcoal is available. The type I have burns way slower than the stuff I have made. So I just buy that for now. Did not re harden / temper the hammer head on the power hammer after slow careful welding hence the reason I put some tape around the weld areas. Just in case some peaces fly off. Seems to be OK. The peen hammer I did harden and temper again after normalizing three times. Also did change the peen later to one from the two as what you say is correct. It does not increase the amount of work done if you don't have any extra force. Maybe in a press it may be beneficial.

      Work With Nature - How to Grow Food! Thanks for the response. It would be a good idea to use on a press for Damascus. I’ve seen a guy who did it like that but with dots for raindrop
      Sucks that you can’t get coal it was hard for me to find coal at first. I wish I could afford to only use charcoal.

    • @workwithnature

      @@JustinTopp Yeah India is fairly cheap to buy charcoal. I get around 100 lbs for around 26 dollars and it is good stuff. But then all you need is a funnel shaped hole in the ground to make your own if you can get the off cut wood from a saw mill.

    Thats a nice little machine you made there
    Maybe you can cast some concreet in and around the metal underneeth to stiffing it up and the weight will
    help stabelize it.

    • @workwithnature
      @workwithnature  6 років тому

      Cheers was a lot to figure out to make it work.
      The concrete idea is good, will bear that in mind if it ever does move on me.

    Wow, awesome video. Just wondering if you could cross pollinate tomatoes and potatoes

    • @workwithnature
      @workwithnature  6 років тому +1

      You can graft them but making a cross would seem more difficult. They have managed to do it back in the 80 by fusing the protoplast together. I know of a professor here in India who has done it. The chances of crossing two different genus of the same family are more difficult but in some it is possible. It is unlikely to work, but I would try to make a hundred crosses or more, by eliminating the pollen from the mother plant to be and crossing pollen from the "father". Or vise versa.

    what's happening in the garden?

    • @workwithnature
      @workwithnature  6 років тому +1

      Hi David,
      thanks for asking. Garden is a bit of a mess at the moment. We have lost a big amount of our volunteers for the past two month, due to small local political problem and the center has decided just to OK me and Jane right now to go there. Not that we are in any danger but it's local politics and we are westerners. We are waiting to get helpers again. Sometimes the challenges here just want me, to pack up and go. So we are spending our time harvesting seeds and weeding like crazy, as now we have monsoon rains coming and we need to get them under control. But then we do use them as a mulch for our no dig plots.

    • @DavidAtchison121
      @DavidAtchison121 6 років тому

      Work With Nature hi David. I hope things mellow out and get back to normal for you guys. I'm not sure I could garden in that climate. Here in my garden in San Diego everything has transitioned into summer crops. You'll be happy to know that we save seeds from our crops and use all the over grown weeds and plant matter to make compost and mulch. I actively watch all your old videos. Thanks for all the great information and inspiration.

    • @workwithnature

      With pleasure. Yeah hope things straighten out soon. It is not easy growing non perennials here! Have a great day.

    cool vid, its weird I'm subscribed and I have notifications on but it didn't come up

    • @workwithnature
      @workwithnature  6 років тому +2

      Sorry about that! UA-cam has been doing that now for the past 4 month for my channel. Seems to be a bug and it is not only happening to me either.

    • @ChristCenteredIronworks
      @ChristCenteredIronworks 6 років тому +1

      Luca La Ferla same here. But the reason for this is UA-cam does not serve all of someone's audience even with the Bell notification turned on. They have found that when they did this people ultimately unsubscribed from the channels they were watching because some channels post quite frequently and then some unfrequently. They basically did this to prevent someone from spamming your thread with like 500 videos LOL

      Roy!!!, you were the last person i thought would responds, cool channel by the way, I am in the process of building a somewhat similar re visited power hammer.
      it is unfortunate that youtube is doing this, I have noticed this on a few channels.

      ahh ok, this power hammer just got 10x better, as soon as you get a belt grinder you can make some wicked blades
