Bentiron1946 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Big old power hammer on Ebay. I think that Frosty needs to replace his little 50# hammer with this one Hammer 6000#, NBP, (Niles-Bement-Pond), Mfg No: #5186 - eBay (item 190326347080 end time Aug-14-09 04:05:04 PDT) or there is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/1-000-lbs-Chambersburg-C-Frame-Drop-Hammer-Pneumatic_W0QQitemZ330348972623QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4cea554a4f&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 or perhaps this one http://cgi.ebay.com/LOBDELL-NAZEL-FORGING-HAMMER-POWER-HAMMER_W0QQitemZ380137016914QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5881ee8e52&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 So many to choose from!

forgemaster Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The chambersberg seem a little pricy for a steam hammer, looks nice all painted up but it is only techincally half a hammer, it lacks the motive force to make it go ie a real big air comp or a boiler. The double arch seems a better buy if you were in the market for a big hammer. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Actually the Nazel 2B would be a terrific hammer for a small shop were it not in pieces that is. Of course shipping from MD to AK would be pretty ruinous. . . Oh well. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 In the last 20 years I've never seen a hammer like the C-burg sell for much more than 3% ($1,500.00) of what they're asking. Nice hammer, safety head, "High-arch model" looks like 20:1 anvil, don,t see the sow block or bottom die. With that paint job it's gonna look cool in the scrap pile.

Frosty Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Grant: Isn't that the sow block behind and to the left? Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimenickel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 just think...with that arch hammer you could forge a bell dinger like in this vid..YouTube - HERSTELLUNG KLÖPPEL GOSSAU 1 2nd vid has a beche in it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Frosty: No, that's just the anvil. The "sow block" or anvil cap adds another foot or so to the height of the anvil. I't's also somewhat "sacrificial". Some small hammers have them and some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

origami roofs Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 watching all those hammers at work is pretty nice. almost twenty minutes of heavy forging videos with that bell dinger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 If I were starting out again I think that I would just do like Sam and buy a hammer in a box. I had a couple of offers on my 25# LG and all they did was complain that it was an old machine. I told them to go by new little China hammer and be happy. They are impressive and all self-contained and take up little space. The LG I'm going to put in the front yard as a sculpture and let her rust. You know like folks do with old farm machinery. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah RIGHT it's going to rust. It's less likely to rust outdoors in Arizona than in the shop! Don't worry, someone will come along and buy it. Anyone who complains a LG is old doesn't know what they're doing anywho! Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
