Power hammer guru! You have a wealth of knowledge as to how they work! I have a leaf spring helve hammer I built and have got it working well through trial and error but now I have an idea of timing I can get it to work even better! The hammer itself has about 30 kg of lead weights inside of a cylinder that would be close to 20 kg! Its a heavy hammer! I will be making further adjustments!

This man gives off Bob Ross vibes and I'm here for it

David helped me install a brake system on my 25lb Little Giant power hammer a few years ago.

Thanks for your information so I am making 2, power hammer, but it note thiss model. very nice your information

I just got my anvil. And I thank you for all this information. I'm just a hobbyist for now. Thanks again!!! 😇😁😇

you should be building rockets ! you were able to break the issues of timing down to layman's terms . i really enjoyed watching you and learning from you . i have in my smitty a #100 ,50 and a 25 little giant power hammers .im located in chicago on the near south side . i'm the 4 generation to practice my craft . im looking forward to fine tuning my little giants up . much respect and thank you john

With the fabricated adjustable nut/pipe modification, why not just flip it upside down so the shaft is above the pin.?

Thank you so much!! I have a 25# little giant (new style). This will help immensely.

I have just installed an old style 100# little giant. It has a 3hp motor that runs 1140 rpm. I still have to get power to the machine so I have not run it yet. It’s been totally rebuilt ,bushings replaced the Babbitt ,new spring ,new dies, both arms adjustable. I will let you know how it runs, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions lol

I genuinely thank you for the sharing of your wisdom and knowledge. My following comment is NOT intended to be a jerk. Your figures show the crankpin arm upside down. As the hammer engages, that pin swivels rather than how your figures display. Again, I am NOT trying to insult you at all! I mention this as my toggle arms are slightly in a V and not fully horizontal. (At 6 o'clock) I'm slowly working on that issue. Through your videos, I did eliminate the double tap on my 50lb LG. How much force does a 50lb LG hammer produce? Again - THANK YOU!

Can't find any information on the power hammer that my family has. And ive used. When it was set up in my grandfather's shop. It ran off wide belts and pullys in the ceiling.. its a la foncer. Have you ever heard of them.

If ya gotta have a giant disclaimer at the beginning, I don't need to watch.
