Honestly, that is all the hammer that the majority of enthusiasts would need. I am really impressed with how well it moves the metal. It looks like it needs anchored and reinforced, but wow. I would like to make it out of oak or hickory beams perhaps larger in dimension. I keep thinking about those giant helve hammers in England.
I love this design! So simple yet very effective.
The functionality is very impressive for sure. Can't wait to see it with the upgraded CAM and stuff!
Thanks! Only a few days now!
Love the DIYness and ingenuity of it!
Thanks!
Damn!!! That works well!!
That is simple elegance.. and appears to work very well.. a buddy sent the FB post and I'm glad he did.. this is certainly one I can actually put on my short list to fabricate.. whereas others are long range plans do to time and complexity.. but this is so elegantly simple it is far more do able.. thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Good luck if you try it!
That’s a fantastic build duder!!!
Thanks!
@@JustinTopp your welcome!!
Absolutely awesome!
Thank you!
Saw your hammer in a Facebook post and had to come here for the video. Great job on the construction and it looks like it moves a heck of a lot of metal!
Thanks! Yea it’s pretty effective!
Уважаемый Джастин, у меня пара вопросов к вам, касаемо данной конструкции молота : 1 насколько оказалось прочным болтовое крепление бойков? Во время работы ничего не отлетело?
2 на сколько часов работы (приблизительно) хватило листа рессоры? Не приходится ли слишком часто менять треснувший лист рессоры?
Спасибо.
Thanks, watched it
Practico y facil para trabajar
Great design, really well controlled in such a simple manner. Would be nice to get some more close ups of the entire rig for copying or perhaps you can post or link some plans.

Finally a real test!! So many people say " Testing homemade power hammer" and the hammer 1/4 round.. or its even cold stock.. you showed a lot of different steel sizes! How much money do you have into this so far?
Great work!
That bugs me too haha. I wanted to show the hammers true capabilities by using a wide range of stock sizes. I think the 1.625” diameter 4140 was the most impressive. A lot of homemade hammers probably couldn’t do that.
I believe I have spent about 600-800$ on this hammer. Seems like a lot but a tire hammer would have cost about 2600$-3000$. And almost any other homemade power hammer is useless it seems like. So I’m happy. It will pay for itself quickly.
@@JustinTopp thanks for the response!
True what you say. Again nice work!
@@xRoSkii thanks!
That thing would make Superman see stars if it hit him!
Haha
That's really impressive! I'm surprised at how quiet it is. I had a question on your cam, I see yours is different than that giant fabricated roller bearing, how does that center section of yours rotate to push the leaf spring linkage? Is it a piece of rod inside a pipe?
I switched to the Roller bearing since this video but it looks basically like a crankshaft for a engine. It’s a rod with an off set in the center. There is a pipe around the round part of the offset. The pipe is connected to the top link that is connected to the spring
Thank you!
So, now that you are using the cam, how do you like it compared to the crankshaft style you used in this video? Any pros cons etc? The crank looks like it would be easier and cheaper to fabricate.
The motor pretty much kicked the bucket after about a week because it was old and junk. so I haven’t used it other than a few times after this video with the proper cam on. But some pros are it’s smoother running and has a bit finer control. But it’s a lot harder and more expensive to make. The crank honestly works fine and I would just build a better version of it if I were to do this again.
Wondering if this hammer needs to be anchored to the floor or could it be used on a large timber base?
It’s on a large timber base set into the dirt in this video
So do you think it would work on a concrete garage floor with maybe a thick rubber mat underneath? Reason I ask is winter is real cold here!
Cool! How'd the new cam come out?
Worked great
@@JustinTopp I'm about to start my own beam hammer, any advice you can give?
What size is the motor my 2hp won’t turn mine over?
Something must be wrong. Mine was I believe 1.5 or 2 hp. Try a bigger pulley on the cam
I'm disgusted with how well that worked lol. That would've taken me 10 heats and a days worth of calories. Definitely planning something
Haha thank you
I've reported this video to UA-cam.
Why? Because I'm jealous and I want one..... NOW!!
Seriously though, great stuff. One question though (btw, I've not really reported ;) ) what is the power rating of the motor?
Haha thanks. It’s a 2 hp 1750 rpm motor. I suspect it would work fine with only 1 hp
@@JustinTopp Thanks Justin. I'm asking because (all joking aside) I think I'm going to need one. I'm very slowly recovering from Blacksmith's/Tennis elbow. Not lifted a hammer since 18th Dec and will probably be quite a few more weeks yet. So bloody painful.
I'd only had my set-up about 2 months prior!
@@kevg3320 ouch that’s no fun. Yea a power hammer like this can definitely help out. This one is a good beginner hammer in my opinion. Powerful yet simple to build in a home shop. Nothing specialized
