firefarm39 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lyman, Dave Manzer has two videos out that I know of. I have them both and would recommend them highly. The first is about tuning a LG to get the best performance out of it. It does not cover repairs like pouring babbits, but does cover some general repair issues and is really outstanding when it comes to getting the timing adjusted correctly. The second video covers making tooling and also has a project section. Both are excellent and I refer to them often. If you need to do a re-build, look up the Little Giant website and see if you can get in to Sid's rebuilding class. It is a 2 1/2 day class held in March out in Nebraska. I have not done the class yet, but intend to one of these days! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsloan Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Sid has his rebuilding course available on DVD. It is outstanding and covers tuning your hammer also. I have not seen the other two but they sound interesting. Dave from Diller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakwoodironworks Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I have the 1st. Manzer video and find it to have a lot of useful info for tuning up a Little Giant power hammer. I would like to have Sid's Rebuilding the Little Giant Power Hammer Video, but it costs $95 for the 2 dvd set. I guess I'll have to save my money. Check the info www.littlegianthammer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
