 Short Power Hammer
I was just looking at the short Chinese hammer and thought of this one for you guys into homebuilts. It is a Zoller Forge style hammer, which is a modified Kinyon, and this guy has two of them at least but it is the "bench top" model that may interest you the most. Air Hammer Page P.S. Scroll down aways to see it.  Last edited by Bentiron1946; 07-21-2008 at 07:56 PM.  |

At one Quad-State a fellow had built a number of powerhammers that fit on your anvil---had a hardy hole rod and used the anvil for the anvil. Not much weight but cute as a bug and they did work.

| Bench top air hammer
Jose, I think that hammer is one made by Ted Banning. I know he had some for sale before. here's a picture of the one he has in use at his place. I added some pictures in my gallery of his other toys. pictures were taken at his hammer in held this spring.

Have you ever worked one of those Banning hammers? I've seen them at the Ohio Valley knife show but never in operation. Any observations? bruce |

I didnt use any of Ted's hammers. I'm not even sure if they used the air hammer that day. I think they fired it up for a little while but I am not positive. mainly they used the press and the rusty style hammer that day. Ted is a great guy and if I was in the market for something along those lines I wouldnt hesitate to deal with him or ask him any questions. I was hesitant to do anything other than look and take pictures at his hammer in. (still a newbie and I prefer to make my scrap in private) the last time I saw him he was trying to get me to drive out again to his shop to play with his toys in private. I'll take him up on the offer sometime and will deffinatly give all his power hammers a workout. |
