irnsrgn Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I made it to the Steam Show, couldn't use Cookies 3 wheeled scooter tho, ground was soft and lots of grass, and I exceed the weight limit a bit, so the circuit breaker kept going off uphill, worked down hill well tho. So I finally just walked slow around the flea mkt area. A little much so I left early and the fella from Ok who was flying in had weather so didn't get airborne till after after 1030. Did take some pics in the BS Shop tho. Hawkeye awaiting rebuild. Photos 1, 2, 3 Got an extra post, make a power hammer. Photo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesteryearforge Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 nice milling machine too Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Mike that was my old milling machine, I donated it to Albany Museum along with several other things. It was originally a vertical boring machine from WW1 era by Andrews Special Machinery Co. someone added the horizontal part and the boring head had only brass bushings, so I converted it to ball bearings. The flex shaft grinder setting in front of it was also mine, its 3 phase, that's what my dad and uncle had for a portable grinder when they operated the shop.

Feukair Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Man, it's like one of those children's book tests... How many power hammers can you see in this picture? I can't even tell how many power hammers are in some of those pics... I think there's six... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-hr Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 The hammer behind 'Little John' looks to be a JDH Foot/Power combined. I'm re-doing one just like it in my spare time (Hee hee). It's supposed to have a mess of springs and arms at the top so you can unhook the eccentric, and use the foot treadle for a manual blow. I wish I could find someone with a working model so I can see a picture of the coil spring set-up on top. There's patent drawings in 'Pounding out the Profits', but pretty vauge.

irnsrgn Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Mike, I believe its strickly a power hammer, but as I am going back down today, I will see if I can get to it, to check for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write the patent # down and search for it on the Google Patent engine. Be warned though most of the patent drawings aren't terribly good for telling you how it works. Still, they're better than nothing. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Mike-hr, it turns out that the one behind Little John, was made locally by a local smith, the museum has been informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnsrgn Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 You like my swinging motor mount BT, made out of Oak planks from the sawmill, I designed and built because the motor wouldn't start the line shaft with tension on the belt.

BT Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yeah, I noticed that Jr. I need to steal that idea for my big pedestal grinder with the 14 x 2 inch wheels. I have to give them a spin by hand now to help the motor start. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
