That is scary! :O But looks like it works well!

is this a joke........? Cool hammer no doubt, looks like alot went into building it, it's very cool looking and fun to watch, but a bit impractical? Just don't let Thomas Powers get his eyes on this...... How much forging did it actually do in that video?

There are some things that are really cool about it. The twin pipe guides are are a cool idea. Using the engine block as the anvil and the crank shaft are also cool. There is a lot of mass there. The sections of rail are OK but would be better with some reinforcing sections welded to the inside of the webs. I think that maybe springs might be better then cylinder heads for a ram return. Some really good ideas and uses of materials.

Just watching the video makes me tired. You could almost get the same effect by putting a piece of hot metal between two cars in a high school drivers ed class when they are learning to parallel park... almost

very vreative use of parts though. the crank shaft is a beautieous fit

[Bentiron1946]

They do appear to be working rather hard. Not the best use of mechanical leverage.

creative, and ultimately better than mine (I don't have one...)

but there's two of you...why doesn't one of you just act as a striker?

It does look like a lot of work, but I have to give them big time kudo's to the fact they got off their tail ends and tried. I'm still mulling over the concept and ho humming around about building one.

Really the thing I think causing it to be so much work though is the cable, if they could get a linkage to replace that cable it might be a decent set up???
