Best power hammer Build video one on youtube. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

I think the hammer is great ...... the design seems to be similar to a beefed up sheet metal forming style hammer. However IMHO I feel it has a few inherent design limitations which could be overcome if one took design inspiration from an ABNO Power hammer.......like..... * fixed terminal spring bushes at ends of the pivoting leaf springs tend to limit the potential of the leaf spring whip inertia and also by fixing the ends to the the reciprocating masses it will be fighting it self transferring vibration and harmonics through both the drive and the hammer.....it is better to let them slide, this is akin to sliding your hand down the axe handle when chopping and will release a lot of harmonics and binding generated by the mechanism. * the hammer would benefit from a more substantial centrifugal flywheel counter weight ..... this will help smooth out the drive crank (make it less pumpy/jerky), I would also reduce the crank throw and adopt the ABNO Power hammer adjustable spring drive system * the throat (the horizontal distance between the hammer/anvil to the main vertical frame) is quite excessive, this space is unnecessary and increases loads on the hammer and may eventually cause weld fatigue, hammer/anvil miss alignment and excessive vibration. Just some constructive reflection on a great hammer build, please don’t take this as negative criticism, appreciate the channel and your work, cheers

Ergonomics note: If you adjust your hammer's height up a little, it will more closely match your elbow level and keep you from unconsciously lifting your control hand which is what is causing your upward curl.

Pretty slick little unit. I’m impressed and inspired to make my own. Never thought it could be done that easily. Thanks for sharing

What an awesome machine! Thanks for the breakdown

Nice addition to the shop.

I think the leaf spring makes a lot of sense for your shop since you do a lot of 5160. Sweet machine 👍🏻

Your neighbors must love you

Very cool, Steve did a great job!

That would definitely make you life easier. Awesome tool!!!

Thanks man I really appreciate it I'm really looking forward to this

Just came back by to say that's a good lookin shirt again.

i need to make one of these

Awesome thanks so much Eric really appreciate it

Very nice hammer!

Grande sei il numero 1🔥

Nice machine...Only suggestion would to fabricate a foot pedal, rather than a lever..Would eliminate having to free hang leg while hammering,make it much easier to regulate pressure,also

Nice shirt.

Fantastic bro!…definitely going to start making all of my knives out of aluminum….LOL!

The only difference that I would do. I would make the hammer and anvil to accept different dies, so that way you could achieve the upmost versatility out of it. A rounding, flat, and spreading die would definitely be awesome.

😎👍👍

Very cool, I've watched a few vids of other designs and its about the same level of complexity as a drop-hammer type mechanism. But this should hit a little harder than those Best thing about it will probably be the low amount of oiling/grease point and maintenance so it should last a very long time

Hey buddy congratulations on the hammer🎉 Did you have to reinforce your floor for this hammer?? Thanks great video.

Tha ks for sharing...inspirational design... Quick question rough estimate on weight?

Hella cool wish I could get that foe’show!! But I was noticing your back section, more specifically the arm connecting the rotator to the leaf spring, it looks like it’s rotation needs to be cleaned up a little because it looks like it’s beating the shit out of it up & down and jerking it forward & back, just thought I’d mention it because it looks like the only potentially weak area.

Could you add a bigger motor in the future and give it more force? This super awesome by the way.
