should be a good one this year...i'll be there

have him call josh at BIG BLU 828-437-5348...we'll take and forward some pictures ASAP.

i'll be there...myself(andy chapman) and andy phillips will be demonstrating friday afternoon. we will be making a sign bracket the two of us collaborated on..we did a short test run at our meeting a couple weeks ago....i hope it makes for a good demo project.

all in one...very nice!

nice work!!

very nice!! i like the way you are haging it...nice detail!

very nice!..good looking piece of wood too.

very cool!!

I actually made a mistake. I supply the Big Blu with full tank pressure (175 PSI) through a 1" 200 PSI rated jack hammer air hose, but the pressure is knocked down to 150 PSI by the regulator, filter, oiler on the hammer. The KA is running on 175PSI though. I had also thought about the blows per minute, and hammer controll issues, as far as BPM Big Blu claims 0-225 on the 155, and on the KA it depends on how fast you are with your foot, but I would guess that it would be hard to even keep it at 180 BPM. As far as controll.. I don't really know that we can devise a test to measure controll because that all really depends on the operator expierience, condition of the machine, temperature of the machine, etc. I think Mike-hr came up with a great full power test, but as for controll, I am willing to accept the educated opinion of other Power Hamer operators. I know that I have no problems drawing 1/4" stock to a fine point with any of my hammers, or delivering a single light tap, or full force blow, which is a little tricky with the mechanical hammers but a breeze with the air hammers (pun intended!!)

bring your ear plugs to try it :D

looks good..its just your syle of wing. i like the base.

here's my first two attempts at the crane. one is out of 1/4 x 1" the other is out of 3/8 x 1 &1/4" ..thank you brian for sharing the step by step photos. this is a fun project..still working on the wings.

very nice!

the 65 uses the same die system as the 110 and the 155..

good looking hammer brian.

anyone going to quad state this year?

very nice!!!

here's a good picture of some bark dies...

nice and clean..nice work

trying to make as many gifts this season as i can..this one came out ok..I need to tweek some of the proportions..but it works..

I wouldn't advise using it until you replace the top die holder..have you called josh?

I would recommend "The ABC'S of blacksmithing"

good looking mailbox..thanks for sharing

its about 36" tall and sits on a pedestal about 40" tall..randy the small base was fabricated out of angel iron
