nonjic Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If you are really quiet in the factory, when every one else has gone home, and stay upwind you sometimes catch a glimpse of one...... I managed to sneak a bit closer, camera in hand...... they rarely stray far from their battle scarred parents. I managed to get this snap of her out in the open she looks like a two, the smallest of the breed... A good feed and water over the coming months and Im sure she will stay, Ill update with her progress when time allows :P :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Cute little bugger, is that many hammers in one place a herd, covey, flock or just what except for a very pleasing sight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetreeforge Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Would that be a 1 KW? Sadley I saw a huge massey at the scrap the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgemaster Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Its just too sad when they get scrapped, yes I know that some are well past their use by date, one here (NSW) had a cracked tup cylinder that had been repaired many times with no success (30CWT) it went to scrap, but there was also a little used, recently overhauled 3cwt that was scrapped (Newcastle City council workshops) I almost had my hands on it when the bean counters and OHS gurus got involved, she went to the big furnace. They just dont make them anymore, what exists now is what we have to go on with. Yes I know I can buy a brand new chinese one, but they are'nt a Massey, I can't say the chinese ones will run as good after 50 years of work.

iron woodrow Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 scrapping a massey is like shooting a rhino. even cracked cylinders on a hammer is no excuse. put it in a park or museum, and put the usable ones from the parks and museums in workshops! (my workshop...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron woodrow Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Would that be a 1 KW?

Astro_Al Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Surely it's a 1 cwt, comparing it to the oxy fuel cylinders in the pic? John, this isn't the one recently advertised in the baba newsletter is it? I bet that went fast. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Shes a 2 cwt, thats the smallest size of 'Clear Space' hammer that was made. Bought this one from ebay about six or 8 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgemaster Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hey john what are the sizes of the hammers behind the little takker, I guessed a 20 a 15 then a 5 then a 7 how close was I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Al Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ah, never made a smaller clear space than 2? I wonder what type the 1 cwt was then. Does look cute against the others! You'd have to drag me out of that workshop with a winch. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJP Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi John What happened with the white one from the MOD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 The 'mod' 3 is staying in the UK, The 1 cwt Masseys were called a 'with slides' hammer, and whilst they have 'clear space' around the die area are not a 'clear space' hammer.... Phil, In the first pic the cream one is a 3cwt. Then its 2 x 20's ,the 2 cwt, a ten, a fifteen, then a tiny glimpse of a 5 cwt, with another 10 cwt out in the bay. So close but no cigar :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
