NICE! I know you are aware but.... Just be careful running the gas forge in a closed space like this, even if it's a big space! Carbon monoxide is a treacherous gas. It might be too late when you notice something is wrong.

Honestly Tim, I see myself planning out and doing all the work you do, and I just feel anxious and overwhelmed. I'm so impressed at your care and attention to all the details, using the right tools, materials and processes for it to turn out right. The forethought and consideration you've put in truly shows. Fantastic job and always a pleasure to watch your work.

what a cool opportunity to start fresh in a new shop. very impressed with your wide skill base, Tim. great job

Tim, you are definitely multi talented. You got that whole place running. I know you had help. But you did a great job on the things you did by yourself! I'm glad the power hammer is up & running again.

That smile at the end, all worth it.

The smile on your face at the end of the video says it all Tim. 😊

More than a blacksmith. Great work Tim...this is really fun to watch!

Great to see you up and running again 🎉 there are always a few teething issues in new places 😖 but hopefully you are up and running now 😎🥳

Great Job on everything! Good to see the Beche running again. Soon to start so good forging. Keep going Sir.

your editor did an AMAZING job with that sound isolation

hey Tim, fantastic to see the power hammer up and running.

Happy camper in the end! All the best Timothy!

Don't let the magic smoke out the motor

If you are going to run the VFD that far away from the motor, you WILL need to put "Load Reactors" in the electrical connection between the VFD and the motor. If you do not put the Load Reactors in, you risk damaging the motor. Load Reactors act as a cushioning buffer for the motor. This tempers the waveform and reduces the voltage stress on the motor. I would consider using Load Reactors on any VFD that puts the motor more than 50 feet from the VFD. Also, where are you geographically located in relation to the Utility transformers and the electrical service to your property? If you are at or near the end of the electrical line (there are no/or few customers after you) you may experience surges on the electrical supply. This can be very damaging to VFDs and the motor connected to the VFD. Line Reactors may also be worth considering, in conjunction with the Load Reactors.

Great job Tim! Welcome to Alberta! Where you can if you want to!

Love to see how everything is coming together. Hope you are back in production soon. :)

awesome to see everything coming together!

Well done Tim ! Always a nervous time setting up after machines have been dismantled . I have to do what you’re doing with your shop starting from scratch . Have two Massey self contained hammers to install , 400 lb and a 10cwt . Thanks for sharing your work . I’m in the Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) if I ever visit Canada I’ll look you up , if you ever make New Zealand you’re welcome to visit . All the best Tim from another Tim 😏

What a great job you did....congrats, man👍

Just got a notification that my 1912 hammer has been shipped! Can't wait to use it on some Christmas presents. Keep that forge lit!

Nice job on the electrical. That's a big chunk of a new shop budget. ✌

Well done. Just love the sound of the hammer.

Woot! I see my name there! I'm famous! 😂 so so proud of you Tim! I know I say that every video but look how far you've come since the move! You got the power hammer hooked up and running and even got the gas forge going after some shenanigans! You got your first sparks in the new shop and can start making stuff again! Don't worry too much about forging stuff for content right away though. I know there's probably plenty of shop updates still in the works like the gas line, the rest of the electrical, tooling storage, and whatever other machines you're pulling in here, and those take priority. Make sure you got those other machines safe and prepped for the winter. As far as content, it's plenty exciting seeing you race mother nature to get things in place before things start freezing over lol I love that squarespace is sponsoring you and I'm really indebted to them for helping one of my favorite creators and I hope other companies see that too and you start getting regular ad revenue. Again, 0 problems seeing you talk about a sponsor. I would watch an entire video just on that if it helped you out honestly. Keep the forge lit buddy! Getting my bottle opener from you soon!

Friggin sweet!!! Excited to see what projects the future holds in your new shop! So stoked for you, great job Tim!

13:39, i feel that smile!! Im so jelous of your hammers :0 and your shop! Keep the forge lit, forge on lads!!

Daaaang bro! You’ve built a BEAUTIFUL shop! So excited! 😄

Proper conduit bending is a fine art!

There it is Tim! Rollin now. 😁

Tim love the reference to a year ish ago when you found the rock in the hammer while cleaning 😀

"Fiddle faddle" 😆 Totally using that.

So fantastic!!! I was so happy to see you got the hammer in and running. Looks like a lot of the time the odds are agents you. But you always figure it I’d out and ready to rip. Can’t wait to see it all up and running. 🤘🏼⚡️🤘🏼⚡️

YAY!!! Took so much effort to get to this point but your forge is finally lit again! Looking forward to seeing your upcoming work.

I wasn't sure about the galvanised sherting on the wall but with more tools and machines in the shop it's actually looking really good. Awesome to see the power hammer going and I hope you get the alignment issues sorted out 👍👍👍👍

No rocks in the power hammer! LMAO You will save a fortune in overhead switching from propane to natural gas. Great to see everything coming together.

As much as I want to say "keep the forge lit", I don't want you to melt!

Ah MAN it felt good to see you shaping steel!

If it's too cold in the winter the family can warm up in the shop now.

Tim: Great stuff! BUT, you have got to throw away those adjustable wrenches and especially that pipe wrench and use box/open end wrenches, sockets, etc. Pipe wrenches mark nuts and bolt heads and are designed to grip something round, like for instance a pipe. Adjustable are fine for some work but inevitable they are self adjusting and will distort the flats on a hex not to mention have to adjust them over and over again. I admire most that you are fearless and show mistakes, like forgewelds for your tong rack. Welding requires patience as much as anything else and you clearly have it. Cheers! Tony

What is up Tim, glad your shop is coming along and keep it up!

its coming along nicely. congratulate. Forge On. Keep Forge Lit, God Bless.

Good job! I'll be setting up the hammer in the workshop soon too!

Well done Sir!

congrats !! this is so cool. happy for you.

You got that party started, kiln alight, is that about 5HP motor, 12awg, 25A , I would have gone for bigger cable, and plastic conduit. you know you will want more.

When building my forge for both propane and natural gas… you need to have a longer mixing area for NG. Also I’m not sure if it’s the same where you live, but in colorado the gas does not have a lot of pressure

Good to see you're winning

So its HAMMER TIME

You're a ROCKSTAR 🌟🤘🦊👍

Meanwhile in Australia we think we're going to freeze to death if we have one or two -4C frosty mornings for the whole of winter.

In regards to your forge. I assume you were on Propane at your old shop and now attempting to go to Natural Gas in the new shop. Propane is a "High Pressure Low Volume" gas whereas Natural Gas is a "Low Pressure High Volume" gas. Your propane was running at approximately 8-20 PSI depending on where you set for heat or about 14"wc (water column) Natural Gas is running at .25 PSI actually a bit less or 3.5"-7" wc. Not sure you could possibly have 2PSI Natural Gas to your home. Calculations come from BTU Input. Your forge is probably around 500,000 BTU. Rough calcs you would need 5PSI Natural Gas to your shop and about a 4" line to forge, change the gas orfice, and rebuild the gas train on your forge. If it were me I'd get propane ran to the shop for the forge specifically and use the Natural Gas for your space heating and soforth. Im a Master Mechanical Contractor "Master HVAC Tech" of 30 years. I know a thing or 2 about gas works. Im moving my shop currently going from a 50x50 to a 70x100. Once moved im going to start building a Natural Gas forge as the only available are propane and get it UL listed and produce them for sale.

Yeah yeah, the hammer lives again

So ready for what’s next.

Usually when you switch from propane to natgas there’s a flow and orifice difference

great vid and great work!

did the test piece help to realign the dies?? nice job on all the hats you have to wear, sparky, labourer, gas man etc :)

You could have just put a straight piece of metal or wood and laid up against the large pulley on the back and used it to align the motor.

Great update

You need to get a cardboard cutout of Martin in the background somewhere.

Perhaps I missed this part in previous videos, assuming it was mentioned: are there any plans as to have the entire floor in the shop of concrete or is the consensus just to leave it as is current?

So happy you finally got an insulated shop to work in, the rest will come brother 👍 are you gonna put in a wood stove or anything for heat or just rely on the forge?

And so it begins..

hey Tim, was your forge running propane in the old shop? if so changing the orifices should do the trick

he dug that deep hole to pour cement in just to sit that on top of it lol

That's a Beauty !

congrats!

Weldon. Master please be with safety. Thank you.

Shop looks great. But new shop, nee forge needed

We are so much alike I thought but then you understood the electrical system and wired it and then we were not so much alike

Awesome!!

congratulations, now you have a big House 🤩

I looked into using natural gas for my forge as I already had a line ran in my shop. Everything I read showed you need a booster because the psi from the city simply isn't high enough. Curious how you solved this?

Natural gas and propane require different amounts of fuel.

What's the reason to have 5 small belts compared to 1 large belt on these power hammers? better power transmission...? easier to replace...?

Bob was my grandftather, a most excellent engineeer and plumber. He taught me how to drive safely and how to be a gentleman. I regret that I am not even close to the man he was. All hail Bob, the very best man he could have been, and I envy the fact that you made it look easy while I struggle to even appear like a competent human. Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you my Grandfather Bob! A man I have always tried to emulate and who I admire. If my epitaph at my funeral is as good as Bob's, then I will have lived a worthwhile life. I'm still far away and working hard and maybe someday I might live up to the legend.

I found one in scrap yard not sure if its running do they still sell parts for it?

I just want to know how the hell you run that power hammer on 16awg wire.

You DID ream that EMT before you pulled the wire? That will strip the wire. Next time use a hack saw, it's safer.

It all looks so good, hell yeah Tim. Cannot wait to see what more you do!

very cool

You had them (gas company) turn it down my boy

Wow how did you guess I was an uncle.

Yeeeee

Sweet :0

Why not use romex?

I'm afraid that because you are alone, lonely in this structure - can you go crazy from loneliness?

Yo yo yo
