I would assume that you would rather have us wait until it is assembled if all it is right now is a collection of parts?

My 3b Nazel.

Have had it for around 4 years now. I did a mild rebuild when I got it, new seals (converted to Orings couldn't find suitable leather at the time), new bushing and wristpins.

Sorry for the fuzzy photos. I bought a second air hammer this summer when I had an intern for 8 weeks helping me with production stuff.

Home designed hammer...

Well , It doesnt actually belong to me, but I spent 6 months of my life rebuilding it in 2001, and personally re-designed most of it from scratch (started out with the 2 legs, cylinder & valve chest from a 'scrap' pile), - all the rest, including desiging the main air valve ( 10 " dia!) from 'johnCAD'

total falling weight 7.5 ton.

ive made much better since, but not bigger!
