Larry, What's the hydraulic setup, enerpac?

Nice work Dave, what alloy bronze you using? Nice hammer, I found a couple of those in N.Y. city.

It's on now!

Mike Spencer's journey was real interesting do what you can with what you have engineering to bring back the A&O hammer. Thats my kind of tire hammer! I was curious if you had any pictures of your progress with the 125#?

xxxx your right, the dove tail is front to back, it works there it should work on my bradley. Haven't used it almost a year now, time to move that sucker a little closer (maybe I'll call monster moving service).

On my Niles the dove tail runs parallel with the die as well Murray, Little giant and most hammers I have seen. The Bradley and this Nazel are the only hammers I have seen with this perpendicular set up. In the information I have on my Bradley they talk about being able to outfit it with oversize dies. I'm considering making a set of dies to run material from the front of the Bradley so I would have this perpendicular arraignment on the dies. If I have the dove tail perpendicular to the die it seems I will run the risk of breaking off the dovetail?

Found the pictures of my Sahinler when I took it apart, didn't remember the exhaust coming straight out like that. The dovetail runs perpendicular to the die on top, I'm curious why? My Bradley is the same, but you feed material from the side. Did you weigh the anvil Larry?

START WITH TWO MILLION.

Never seen a Nazel, much heaver than the Niles. Wouldn't have thought the drive motor and cylinder would have put it over. They built the he77 out of that baby. The niles anvil calculated at 5000 and the sow at 2000 plus the die. Is this machine for extremely large dies and what is that on top an exhaust?

Just Xxxx! Way to go Larry!

Sorry Patrick, I was looking in the wrong place, so much information and good work to see here. I am working out of NC 4 burner whisper daddy, NC 6 burner tunnel and 133 Johnson, I can run a couple at a time but they still cant keep me at a production rate. I have been unable to wrap my brain around the specifics but I have a good friend.... use to sell burners. Thinking 1000000 BTU, 3-4"x4" or a couple 6"x6". Do they have some calculation at Scot to figure this kind of thing? By the way what do think the hourly rate is under the big press at North America Forge Masters. NAFM Why does that phrase have such a appreciated sound to it? Larry, Pine ribbon have some excellent products, thanks. "Clench" 4" x 3/8" angle. "Knot" 2" round.

I don't think any photos were taken at Madison (Too much of that liquid fire was flowing) but we did have up to 7 strikers at one time, some of them may have been double vision?

Thanks for the pics Ben, I think I have a hand hammer somewhere for that thing.

Forged nail in memory of Tom Clark. Hopefully it will be at a conference near you if you would like to add a touch mark. Picture is Stan Strickland his grandson Buddy and myself at Southeast Blacksmith conference.

I have a few lying around.

I remember Mr. Floyd Daniels shooting at Madison. Forgot all about that ACME with the depression in the bottom, mmm...

Guarantee you'll put a motor on it. Looks great!

The leaf on the right was forged in four heats. Had to try the horse head under the Bradley, thinking about forging a large corse bolt into a fuller to use on the mane. All were forged from 1"x2".

Looks kinda soggy, 4 wheel drive lull might have a chance.

These lower budget RFQ are great for someone trying to get their foot in the door. Could be an opportunity for some forged or fabricated metalwork. The City of Campbell is excited to announce a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from artists interested in creating, fabricating and installing public artwork for the Stojanovich Family Park Project. The Stojanovich Family Park Project is a new proposed park in the City of Campbell within a high density residential area. The property is currently vacant and has never been developed, having been part of a fruit processing and drying facility supporting the City

Ah, ah, ah, still has wheels and a motor. Anyway your work is an inspiration, needed that take no prisoners attitude. Hope you can bring the craft of smithing as much recognition as you have the motorcycle industry. Get it hot and hit HARD!

A big forge is a necessity for the big hammer but tolling is probably as important if you want to do more that just flatten (Mr. Sarver can probably hook you up). Some great information is Clifton Ralph's videos, also there is Michael Bondi up in Richmond he has worked these hammers more that most. I think he spent some time with Benetton in Italy (Huge iron). Good luck on the move Larry, Safety is key.

That kinda went in the wrong direction. Wanted to know if the mechanics was the soul influence of the work or if you ever built a trebuchet for your back yard. (Oops, I guess thats still mechanical, doesn't have a motor though)

Yea I really cant see you picking up a water color brush. I guess I shouldn't call it art but you obviously take a lot of pride in your craftsmanship and I was just wondering if you ever build "work" that doesn't have a motor on it?
