Daniel.85 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Some pictures of hauling it home last week, 3/4"id air hose and 3/4x10 hilti brand wedge anchors, I'll eventually run a 3/4 or 1" hard air line so I can have the proper drops/drains. Should finally be setting it in place Monday morning, heavy rain for a few days here kept the forklift truck for being able to get to my shop.

Madmike Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I wish you a lot of fun Daniel ;) This is imho the most interesting pic, with the safety chain across the one under tension It also shows the reminder on the wall above your baby seems to work, I may try it... 'think safety, work safely' :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSW Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 This is imho the most interesting pic, with the safety chain across the one under tension I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. You've obviously worked with moving heavy things in the past, or have someone with experience helping you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 The safety chain I thought of because I owned a jeep for a while and throwing something heavy over the winch line was always a good idea, figured it would apply here as well. It slid very easy though, not nearly as much tension on everything as I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Wonderful bit of rigging. You can't be too safe with stuff that's under tension. I had a cloth strap break and fly back to smack me in the face. The hook slowed it down dramatically, but it still hurt when it popped me. The truly bad thing was there was no sign of it giving. We were trying to move something that was well within the weight range of the strap, and the strap was as close to new as you could reasonably ask. Next think you know, the strap gave way about two feet from the hook and the whole end piece comes back to have a chat with me. Love the color scheme on that hammer.

Daniel.85 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 A little forging, I'm sitting in a chair and it looks like I'm lower than I actually am, wouldn't want the face to close to the level of the dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel.85 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Forging a little bigger bar just for show, watch it in HD if you can. The camera(my phone) is just sitting on some wood propped up on the hammer frame, Id say this thing is pretty stable. 1.25" round at 125psi, Changing the psi on the hammer is not inconvenient and you really don't even have to, its just fun and gives you more options.
