Dillon Sculpture Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 My Bradley hammer is set up and running in my new shop. I have been tweaking the operation and have found its control superb with a very heavy hit. I will probably mostly draw out, but tooling is easily used as well. I included a shot of the mess I've made, I only have about 6 hrs. of run time on this machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njanvilman Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Impressive hammer, must hit really hard. Make most LG look like toys. And nice shop space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 That's got to be fun to use. How big of a motor does it have? How many bpm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyancarrek Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hey DD, Take a short video of it in action and post it to YouTube if you get a chance - it would be great to see it in action! Ditto to the above - outstanding shop you have there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Wow, thats a real beast! I would love to see a video of it running aswell :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have video of my other hammer at Dillon Forge - Blacksmith Not sure how to post it here, still a little low tech, I guess thats why I like these machines. 10 HP motor 875 rpm. Haven't calculated BPM but when its wide open it can make you want to step back a bit. The original wood beam (100+) has had some modifications from the last owner for safety reason unknown.

Jura T Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have video of my other hammer at Dillon Forge - Blacksmith So you really like big hammers . The LG type hammer you have isn't the smallest one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon Sculpture Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Come on and hit something MAC. Just gettin started, have a 100 ton press now as well!

ThomasPowers Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 *Just Look at the RUST* better ship that out here to *DRY* *NM* *immediately*; you can even let it sit in my shop till the humidity goes down in Atlanta...

MarkC Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) dillon i just watched all your videos... i'm thinking if i head down there and spend a few hours within a half mile of your shop, i'll become a better blacksmith by osmosis.
