combo die

[JerryCarroll]

I finally got around to making a combination fuller/flatter die for my homemade hammer. What a time saver!! I'm learning more of what can be done quicker even with a 30 lb. hammer hitting 300+ hits flat-out. Pictures will be posted soon.

Do you mean a matched pair of combo dies for your hammer??? Or do you mean a fuller/flatter paddle to use on your flat dies??? Inquiring minds want to know;-)

[JerryCarroll]

Finn, matched pair of combo dies--4" longx1 3/4" wide. fuller part is a little under 1/2 the length of the die. The steel used was guide bars of medium grade used in a die for making plastic moldings. pieces are 1 3/4" square.

I'm collecting parts for a tire hammer. That's one thing i'm worried about is where i'll find material for the dies. Looks like you found some nice ones.

Here's the die pictures I promised. I am enjoying learning to use a power hammer--especially since I built it!

Jerry,

Thanks sharing those picture. I have been working on my power hammer off and on for a couple of months. I can't wait to finish it. This is my busy time of year getting fields ready to plant, weather permitting. I really like the way you have your dies mounted. In fact I might just steal that idea. My dies are also combo dies 5" X 2 1/4" square, made from a tool bar. The steel is 1080 I think. I have not heat treated yet. I also made a set of flat dies from same material. Thanks again for the pictures really helps!!


Thanks Again
Larry
