This is a mini powerhammer I built, since building it I have upgraded it in certain areas. It works great for a hammer of its size and for the price it cost to build.
The one thing I would change is the slide; instead of relying on grease, install rollers so the slide is smoother and more controlled, otherwise an excellent build!
Look man, I'm just gonna say it. This thing is great. I love that you're using a friction drive "clutch concept" ( if I can put it that way). That is a nice compact machine that doesn't eat up room in the shop and is practical for the application at hand. Great build!
A couple of years ago I started collecting up stuff to make a tyre hammer but gave up when I realized that it was too big and would probably lead to a falling out with the neighbours.
I have been thinking for sone time now that I wanted to build a scaled down tire hammer, your video just cemented the idea. I’d like to see a video of yours moving metal
Belle réalisation avec des pièces simples et éprouvées. Belle idée de transmission avec le galet frotteur qui me rappelle ma jeunesse avec les fameux Velosolex Français. Cela donne un bon petit pilon....

Crush a piece of scrap wood under it when dry hammering. It prevents stress and premature wear.
Some of the best tools/things in life are simple, elegant solutions to real problems. I love it.👍

Nice Hammer Rob. Good work.
I’m about to build one myself.
Awesome Job

Looks great.
Sweet, very well done. I need one of those also.

That is an excellent hammer! I have a large self contained hammer and a 25lb Little Giant. I like them. But despite the size, I LOVE your hammer!
Very cool 👍 always wanted to try forging. Never had the space.
Super job and very good work nice
Very good simple design and highly affordable, budgetable nice works......
Nice job!
