 Power Hammer plans?
Hi all! Ive recently had the oppertunity to work with a huge massey powerhammer and I really liked the time it saved on big projects. Im wondering if anybody has plans to build a power hammer thats easy to fabricate? If you own a powerhammer please post a pic and give some specs. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks Bb  |

The IForgeIron Blueprints have several listings on how to make power hammers, mechanical hammers etc. BP0208 Power Hammer Construction BP0186 Oliver, the Hammer BP0146 Building a Power Hammer BP0134 Power Hammer There are others I am sure.

Andre Let us know how it is coming along as you build it. If you have any questions be sure to ask Daniel he is great about helping it may take a few days to hear from him as he is pretty busy so be patient.

I've been looking at the helve hammer that is in the blueprint section here. It seems to have a small footprint and with the size of the dies it looks like it should have a good sized punch. I have been looking at the sheet metal web sites for drive ideas and found one that uses a wheel barrow tire for a drive instead of a belt which looks like a good idea except maybe use a small trailer tire instead. Lots of good ideas out there and in here too.

Blackbeard, If you havent already I would try out a few of the 'home made' hammers before you build one, if youve had a go on a Massey it is a world apart from any DIY hammer (and the new gereration of commercially available hammers) , you might end up very disapointed with what you build - Bigger (seperate anvil hammers) can be bought very cheaply if you scout round enough - ( though obviously you will cop it on transport & installation costs  |

Hammer the dents out of the lids of carbide cans? What exactly is that? and at 800 strokes a minute i'd have to call it the bumblebee.
