FieryFurnace Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I applaud your fabrication abilities. You did a good job. I would point out that everything looks a little light-built. If parts begin to bend/break use, simply scale up the size of those parts. I would also recommend getting a larger steel plate to put under the base. You don't want it pounding itself into the dirt or putting a lot of pressure on such a small foot-print of concrete. Get a larger plate and bolt the whole unit down. Once again, nice job overall, just some things to keep in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think, as I can see in the pictures, that the hammer is bolted to a large enough steel plate (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I like this little dude! I agree with the Japanese hammer similarity. That would be great for pounding out knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Holmes Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 This is so COOL! Yes! I demand video! ( please!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If you don't mind, I'd like to see a closer picture of the linkage from the ends of the leaf spring to the top of the ram. Is that rubber like the Japanese hammers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eseemann Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I wondered that myself, is that rubber or stapoing? Nice build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
