Quebecblacksmith Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm proud to present my mechanical power hammer. Inspired by Champion hammer. He need some adjustements and a fondation, but for the first test, i'm satisfied. forgive me for my written english, is not so well. Is not my first language. Enjoy this pics! To see more of building go to youtube "building a 100lbs power hammer first test" or channel "Thierry Bélanger" 008.MOV006.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulsepushthepopulace Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Very cool indeed! Hate to be a movie critic, but you need better lighting to show it off... Second video was much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Very nice, good snappy action. When you say inspired by "champion" you are referring to a Beaudry Champion correct? Very good job,I'm certain it will really perform once you get it bolted down to the floor :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes inspired by Beaudry champion. I pick the rolling system of ram and spring arm on the model U-100 Barbour stockwell co.. For sure next pics will be better. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will. K. Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Nice! What system are you using for the ram slide? Beaudry Champions had the solid spring arms with the rollers internal to the ram. The Beaudry Utility hammers use the coil springs & had the external rollers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I used the coil spring with two externals rollers at the end of the arm like on the U-100 utility hammer. some pics of the system coming soon! Thank's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K A Willey Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Looks good , Your hammer is based off the utility Beaudry as Will stated with the rollers externally, looks like you getting a nice action out of it and when you get it on a foundation it should hit solid I saw one of your videos the other day on you tube, Beaudry's are a diasease with me.

Jim Kehler Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Very cool hammer! What did you do for guides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Ram guide is this flat bars of steel machined with v groove and welded on each side of flanges h-beam. They are 1 inch ¼ thick by 19 inchs long. I have drilled two hole in each plate aligned with the groove center to install grease valves. Two 1 inch steel square bars welded on each side of the ram and it's slide well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hammer head with main shaft, key hole on it. The crank disc and the flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Here the connection system of the ram with this arms and ½ diameter coil spring. You see the rolls at the end of arms made with recycled steel caster than i can lubricate with grease nipples. Anvil is made by a 10 inch steel shaft, you can see the huge key hole, his weight: 518 pounds. The hammer Just wait to be installed correctly to be effective.

HWooldridge Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I admire your workmanship and ingenuity. I've also often felt the Beaudry utility hammers were one of the most functional mechanical designs because they went to coil springs and the outside arm design. 100 lbs is a very useful size but I think it would be pretty cool to build a 250 lb version - that would be a real "thumper"...

Dillon Sculpture Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Killer hammer! I think you'll get bored and have to build a 500 pounder :blink: You name er yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thank's guys! I have worked a lot to build this one. I want to begin trying for real, it's my first power hammer! Maybe it's not last construction, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Better lightening to show how this shop made power hammer work and he forged a 1 inch by 2inch¼ square hot roll steel bar. He do it well and hard! But it will be better bolt on the floor. 004.MOV005.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecblacksmith Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Action! Photos of the power hammer building! Soon in april he will be installed in my shop correctly. 002.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You might want to think about putting a brake on it - would add a lot to the usability of the hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
