fergy

Thanks looks like I just found a new youtube channel Are some threads more prone to forbiddens than others?

Ok and they are used to strech metal? And as in a diagonal pein it don't even have to be round ? I will find vid cheers

So that's a rounding hammer and the face is called a pein ?

Is the function of the spring primarily as a link and secondary as a spring ?

Beautiful hammer though I prefer a little less dome to the pein. Still, I wouldn't kick it out of the shop, I'd put my own handle on it but I'd use it hard before modifying anything. frosty this stupid software won't let me quote you in this thread but it will in others. Go figure Less dome in the pein ? That makes my normal ball pein hammers look like chipping hammers what is a pain used for? anyone got a YouTube link to a good vid on this ? Yes I'm a noob. no I don't care Fergy

A few good fires under it before cooking on it I think does look a whole lot better than a square of 5/16 plate a plate that thick will take a bit of gettin used too but once you do you will never go back

wow your first post and forbidden already keep trying general and remember we like pics too fergy

Won't the spring deflect and move the small connecting arm at the back out?

This is going nowhere fast the way you read what another has typed May not be the way it was meant to come across directed at no one but please let's not start a slinging match fergy oh and flame away (I can handle it)

I aked the question to get you thinking about it. job done Im guessing the spring is there to take the shock out? this will be the style of hammer I build if I ever build one so the more discussion the better IMHO fergy

What sort of bull dozer? that looks to be a rather small pitch for track chain was it from the reductinon before the bullgear or something I can't place it it must be old

there is always the other end of the spring in the equation to consider if you mounted it that close to the other end would you consider it to do more?

Do you have these cylinders already ?

Can you noob cad it?

Track recoil springs on excavators are where it's at

Not sure that it is weld although it is a different colour looks toke the hammer was used with foreign material me tween the hammer and bottom die block maybe the bottom die block was moving around in use and that resulted in the uneven surface I slotted would work but there does seem to be some angle on the bottom block if concerned I would file the surface and look at putting an angle on the die and then wedge in have you ran it how it is ? You could just clean it up with a file and try it also I also know nothing about hammers so these are just ideas

It's a pity a shop with the tools to make a power hammer doesn't have a good spray booth

would be my choice to all sizes and shapes solid advise right here ^^^^^^^^^
