UPDATE: the CNC router slides didn't last long with the weight of this hammer and the little roller bearing units in them fell to bits, I have replaced them with a simple steel block with a groove milled in it 6mmx6mmx200mm and 2 grease points per side.
The hammer is 69kg the anvil is approx 740kg and is a horizontal stack style which is not ideal as a stack anvil is preferably vertical segments but it seems to work quite well, working surfaces are railway line, the ram is 2.5x10inch.The foot operation actuates a 2 position 5 way valve via i linkage with a spring return to keep everything up the top and the hoses as low capacity as possible, the ram ports also have quick exhaust valves fitted. It has toyota 4runner bump stops which protect the ram from topping out, they are either side of the ram to avoid unnecessary side loading of the slide. The hammer rides on CNC router slides, an idea from BIG DOG FORGE which he used on his excellent mechanical power hammer, here is his video on it • Blacksmithing Power Ha...
As with most of these DIY power hammers mine is built mostly from from scrap, which is why they all look so different, so scrounge around in your scrap pile and get creative.

I wish you would show some details about how it is constructed and operated. It is obviously working great, no idea how it works though

Thanks for checking it out, it really is just as simple as explained/shown in the vid from 6:42 on-wards and there's more detail in the description. Basically the 2 position 5 way valve supplies air to the lower chamber of the ram when the pedal is up and to the top chamber of the ram when the pedal is down. The quick exhaust valves on both ram ports ensure that the unused chamber is de-pressurized quickly when the opposite chamber in pressurized allowing the hammer to move quickly. The hammer head itself is basically just a simple 69kg weight on sliders. The rubber bump stops at the top make sure the ram doesn't get damaged by the hammer topping out. The anvil is a 740kg dead weight and the top and bottom hammer faces are made from the wheel side of railway line. Check out the vid from 6:42 on-wards and the description for more detail. Cheers

I don't have a blueprint sorry as it's just improvised with what scrap metal I had lying around, there in good info on how the mechanism works though in the description and towards the end of the video, they are great hammers and quite easy/cheap to make. Thank you for watching

I'd go with air of you can in my opinion, they are very easy to make and setup like this they have a lot of control, I'm really happy with this one. Fast reciprocation rate slapping style hammers are cool to and arguably better for finishing work. But heavy hit air hammers are the king of moving bulk material and can be pretty soft and precise too. As for the price of building one well that's a hard question to answer, it depends what you have got laying around in your scrap pile, i think the only things i had to buy for mine were 2 quick exhaust valves and a 2 position 5 way valve, think it was around $60 for the lot. If you go with air remember to factor in a decent air reservoir tank, mines 300L, its plenty and recharges between heats.

What are you using to supply the air?

Its an old twin cylinder with 10cfm free air delivery and a 300 liter tank, seems to be plenty as it recharges between heats.
