Glenn Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Look in the IForgeIron blueprints for helve hammers. Irnsrgn has a design (or 2) posted. Also look over the blueprints for power and tredle hammers, several are shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonjic Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 the 'tyre' hammer design looks very good, and simple. A gentleman called Clay Spencer runs workshops building these for what looks to be a reasonable price. I am sure the plans are available for sale somewhere (I am sure it will 'google') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_iron Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Gday Hammerkid, You could look at the Anvilfire site, there was/is a series on junkyard hammers there, lots of pics, and some how-to info. From memory, no "plans" but if you look around enough, and add 2 & 2, you should be able to figure out the bulk of the design. Ask here for specific details you can't figure out. Personally I think this makes it a more interesting project, a better talking point (ok blowing your own trumpet;-), and you will learn oh so much from it. Good luck & kind regards, Rusty_iron, Brisbane, Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerkid Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 I`ll do , it be a few weeks though gotta get other projects done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_iron Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Gday Hammerkid, I'd keep the treadle hammer and build a power hammer from scratch. Treadle hammers are oh so useful and handy, if you convert it, you'll just have to build a new one later, so why not just keep the one you have? Regards Rusty_iron, Brisbane, Oz.
