Sam Salvati Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 He needs to cut off about an inch or two of that ram, so he get's a "slapping" motion instead of the thudding motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I agree, and a more solid base wouldn't hurt. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And usually these are used to forge hot metal, not cold wood :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The rollers on the top of the hammer apear to be stuck to the spring, forcing the frame to bend to acomodate the arc that the spring end wants to travel through. Will not last long like that. Otherwise, cute, but could run faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two rollers on the front that attach the ram to the spring are not rigid, they allow for the changing distance between the spring and ram. See how you see the end of the spring sticks out then goes back in then out in out in out in as it is running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerkid Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Whats the benefits of starighting the leaf spring? Or not startighting the leaf spring? I see another one without a straightened leaf spring , seems to do better. Edited June 15, 2009 by hammerkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
