Jim Deering Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Does anyone have a Universal brand radial power hammer? One is pictured in 'Pounding Out The Profits' and I am curious to know if any still exist Quote
iron woodrow Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 i really like the idea of radial hammers, either they weren't viable economically, or they didnt work to well........ I dont know. But i found an image of a radial steam hammer. Ill post it when i get home Quote

I will see if I can get some pictures of it. Oh yes please!Where the heck is Lazyassforge?

Frosty Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Cool, if Deb and I ever get to do some traveling in the lower 48 we'll be letting folk know our route so they can hide as we pass through. I sure wouldn't mind a cup of coffee though.I'm looking forward to pictures maybe a video of it running.Frosty The Lucky. Quote
Charles R. Stevens Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I dang shure wont hide! Cant think of any of the IFI gang that I wouldnt welcome. Some I would make a fool of myself if they showed up. Quote
lazyassforge Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I'm doing this on my phone so please forgive me if it doesn't work! The hammer isn't mine, it belongs to a friend. Frosty, yes I live in Oklahoma! I just don't post on the board much so you may have missed me but I've been a member for a long time. Quote
Jim Deering Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 Hello Lazyassforge Could you look at your PMs please as I've sent you one regarding this hammer Thanks for posting the image. I'm very surprised even one of these hammers still exits I have a space in the forge floor plan where it would fit... :-) Frosty and Charles If you fellows ever find one of these hammers looking for a home would you mind getting in touch? Yes, I know, you'll sell one to me after you've used it for a decade or two. I'm not that young you know! Quote
matto Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Frosty you are always welcome in Nebraska coffee is always on beer is always cold and forge is always hot!! Quote
Judson Yaggy Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 The entire head mechanism rotates around to different forging stations, such as the swage block to the right in the photo above. Quote
VaughnT Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Very interesting design. I haven't seen a hammer like that before and certainly wouldn't mind more photos.... Quote
Frosty Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I'd like to see someone put it through it's paces. Frosty The Lucky. Quote
