Your nest project should be, build some tongs. They are a good learning tool. It should be easy for your, heck you built the hammer. Also put on some safety glassed and hearing protection. I have to wear special hearing aids, because I didn't know any better years ago.
so you really are just in your 20's I thought you would be older, read your social media, sounds old school and quaint to live off the grid away from all the distractions, work your craft, and meet a good God fearing woman, sound like you know what you want, soo many have no idea even at 2 times your age, and faith in God above is a reassuring sign among the young these days, I am not too old but I am mid 30's so I am not a kid but not well aged like good Whisky or Wine. I laud that you are making american made tools for making things, and it seems you have a decent quiet running design, as well as efficeant design to move the metal, might not be a huge chambersburg, or niles bemont pond, but its sturdier looking then some of the other hammers out there. Well Good luck and God Bless. Jeremy manga12
Hi! thank you for the video and I appreciate your good work. But the sound is a little bit "weird". Instead of a more solid sound I hear an echoing "thin metal sound" like a small car crash. Why?
Great design but i think its just need more heavy head I see the speed is good and its supported by self my be that for the good design and great carrier By the way i like your cutting pant With my wishes
Thank you for the compliment! It may seem like a "small-ish" hammer head, but I had one customer tell me that his Pro-Series hammer hit harder than his old #75 air hammer.
In my shop, I just have a standard 4" thick pad, but I recommend having a footer that has a foundation deeper than your frost line, and reinforced with rebar.
are you still building these for sale? i am interested in buying one actually. dont live that far from you either so would like to pick up and pay in person.
Yes sir I am! Right now I have a waiting list, so if you would like to know more about this list and placing an order, feel free to email me homesteadersoutpost@gmail.com or shoot me a text 270-498-1817
Thank you! I don't think 230BPM is to slow :) The spring is covered on both ends 1" by being encased by a piece of thick walled steel pipe. Even if I loosen the toggle arms all the way, the spring still cannot come out.
Anthony Strunk yes I am still building my power hammers, however they have seen several significant design changes since this video that gives the user even more control, smoother operation and hits harder. Would love to talk to you about them! Feel free to email me at my new email address offgridhomestead@outlook.com
I sell these hammers for $3500 and that includes a set of dies. Please email me, I would love to tell you more about my Pro-Series Power Hammers! homesteadersoutpost@gmail.com Also I can ship anywhere in the lower 48!
Not a bad price, I paid 2000$ for my Clay Spencer tire hammer several years ago used, and then had to go over it and fix a lot of the welds. When you factor in price of materials, that's a really fair price.
Great looking machine, but your audio needs a lapel mic or something. I can't really hear you well with the volume turned up all the way... The CC: helps. And hammering hot steel without eye protection big *_NO_NO!!!_*
The overhang of the drive shaft looks all wrong,the plummer block should be above the load to avoid flex in the shaft. The shaft will not survive without support. more speed would be good.
You are incorrect sir. Any and all shock is absorbed by the spring set between the toggle arms, also the shaft is made of 4140 tool steel. Also 230 hits per minute is slightly faster than most #25 Little Giant power hammers.
Your assertion that all shock is absorbed by the spring flies in the face of the laws of physics, unless trump has repealed them. All of the energy delivered to the anvil comes from the shaft and while the spring may spread out the shock there is no where else for it to go but up through the shaft. The fact you have used 4140 would indicate you understand the need to resist bending forces in the shaft.
You obviously have no understanding of how a mechanical hammer works. also the reason I use 4140 is because I know a guy that sells it to me cheaper than I can purchase cold rolled mild steel.
The complete hammer carriage is on a sliding mechanism with an independent spring system which will actually absorb the forces you are referring to as posing a danger to the drive shaft. Had this hammer been built with a direct coupling to the drive shaft, your concerns about the longevity of the shaft would be justifiable, but as it stands, there is more than enough to keep that from happening.
Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to sell power hammers, or give a very bad demonstration on how NOT to use it! If you are trying to sell something, keep to the subject, and get a damn microphone. You didn't even show ANY shots of how it is constructed, just mumbo jumbo....lmfao
That's a great design! I was very impressed with how smooth and stable it operates.
Now, we need to teach you how to use it...
Your nest project should be, build some tongs. They are a good learning tool. It should be easy for your, heck you built the hammer. Also put on some safety glassed and hearing protection. I have to wear special hearing aids, because I didn't know any better years ago.
I think you are a fool for not wearing safety glasses. Keep it up and you will get caught someday. Great looking hammer.
Thats one sweet hammer!
lopendepaddo Thank you!
Used to have an old german hydraulic/ Pneumatic hammer.it was beauty and the beast.
I'd be interested in what the guy is trying to say, but the audio quality just isn't there.
The hammer looks great, but I think the toothbrush you're using for a microphone might be blunt.
Do you sell build plans for the hammer? Great looking and working! Live in europe so too expencive to ship :)
Where were we before Power Hammers?
Mate, any chance at all you would deliver to australia?
Nice.
Thank you!

Great hammer but i could not understand what you were saying ,had to abort!!
I wish I had one...
Hi! thank you for the video and I appreciate your good work. But the sound is a little bit "weird". Instead of a more solid sound I hear an echoing "thin metal sound" like a small car crash. Why?
when the hammer is running the right toggle arm looks funky, is that just due to the direction the hammer shaft is rotating?thanks
I watched the video along with footage that I did not include on the video and it seams to be just the camera angle that makes it look that way.
awesome thanks
Can you do a video doing a walk around the hammer...
I will try to do that in the near future!
Great design but i think its just need more heavy head
I see the speed is good and its supported by self my be that for the good design and great carrier
By the way i like your cutting pant
With my wishes
Thank you for the compliment!
It may seem like a "small-ish" hammer head, but I had one customer tell me that his Pro-Series hammer hit harder than his old #75 air hammer.
The hammer looks like is is a great design but the video is very busy not very clear should make another one
Do you sale kits?
Where are you all located and price of shipping to Austin, Texas?
DavidL78613 Scottsville Kentucky. if you could send me an email at homesteadersoutpost@gmail.com i can give you a shipping quote.
That is funny was just wondering what shipping would be to Austin LOL getting ready to move from Ga.
That Axel shaft is case Hardened that is why it is hard to machine
How big of a concrete foundation do you recommend for this?
In my shop, I just have a standard 4" thick pad, but I recommend having a footer that has a foundation deeper than your frost line, and reinforced with rebar.
are you still building these for sale? i am interested in buying one actually. dont live that far from you either so would like to pick up and pay in person.
Yes sir I am!

Isn't that twang and bangs theme music?
very nice work, but to slow for knife forging ;-)
ps. the spring should be covered....
Thank you! I don't think 230BPM is to slow :)
The spring is covered on both ends 1" by being encased by a piece of thick walled steel pipe. Even if I loosen the toggle arms all the way, the spring still cannot come out.
@@ChaseSaxtonofKy if the spring breaks the covered ends will not help
I sent you a couple of emails about purchase can you please reply
Are you still making these hammers? You're email apparently doesn't work anymore.
Anthony Strunk yes I am still building my power hammers, however they have seen several significant design changes since this video that gives the user even more control, smoother operation and hits harder. Would love to talk to you about them! Feel free to email me at my new email address offgridhomestead@outlook.com
Email sent..
Email received and reply sent back to you sir
I don't think any of my email replies are going through on either of my email addresses. Please give me a call at 270-618-6859
Very difficult to hear you ! If you are going to stand more than 3 - 4 feet in front of the camera , then you need to use a remote microphone .
how much do you sell them for
I sell these hammers for $3500 and that includes a set of dies. Please email me, I would love to tell you more about my Pro-Series Power Hammers! homesteadersoutpost@gmail.com Also I can ship anywhere in the lower 48!

Chase Saxton what is the shipping to Aurora Colorado?
Great looking machine, but your audio needs a lapel mic or something. I can't really hear you well with the volume turned up all the way... The CC: helps.
And hammering hot steel without eye protection big *_NO_NO!!!_*
Been trying to find a lapel mic that isn't to short.
Also I don't wear eye protection much in my shop, as it hinders my vision.
Put your eye protection on wile you still got vision!
how much?
I sell them for $3500 and that includes a set of combination dies.
time to start saving lol
WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR SAFETY GLASSES MR. !!!!!!!
I do not wear glasses while forging. My shop my rules.
John Christie - when you end blind in one eye like I did you'll change your shop rules!
uh well i do wear safety glass dildo this isnt me check your facts jack
It looks like you have an awesome shop and it would be a shame for you to not be able to use it from loosing an eye.. Nice Power Hammer!!
Your shop your stupidity I know how it feels to lose an eye
no sound

Por favor el sonido es muy bajo muy debel
YOU PROBABLY SHOULD LIMIT THE MICROPHONE, kinda loud on the ears, can ya hear me now? oh he got fired
ide rather twice as fast and half the weight that just does not sound right to me .
Nice waste of a rasp, Not!
Great video, but I'm so distracted by you not wearing your safety glasses. I can send you some if you like. I would cringe less.
it sounds god awful...
