divermike Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 last year at quad state, some guys painted Clay's demo hammer pink, and they did a good job!! I painted mine colonial red, and it also looks great, which led me to name it big red! Congrats, and enjoy!!1 I love mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen53 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I will be getting two different sets of plans, the tire hammer plans and also The Appalachian Power Hammer, which one would you prefer over the other. I have never built one before, but I am excited to get my plans and start as soon as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Tire hammer all the way! I've been much more impressed with it than the Appalachian Power Hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkle spike Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 If you have the means, the Tire Hammer is the way to go. It will allow for heavier weights on the head. From what I have seen, when built properly a tire hammer will outperform an Applalachian on larger stock. (I built the APH because it is what works for me at this time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Having examined the tire hammers mechanism it is a hand built Little Giant. Instead of a clutch you use the electric motor moving in and out to provide that function. Overall it is a good substitute for a L.G. However if you have the junk around to build a Rusty there is nothing wrong with building one of them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dablacksmith Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 these are good questions and a lot of good answers.. ive been reading the book pounding out the profits and there are a lot of similaritys from history .. bolth systems worked and bolth have possable problems it really depends on what you have to work with anyone of them is going to be better than no hammer! have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was fortunate enough to visit lightening forge in Salt Lake City and they have 2 tire hammers in use, and the owner stated he uses it for all manner of items, it's great for either the hobbyist or pro. I certainly could not be happier with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
