homemade powerhammer

Featured Replies

so I am just a hobbyist but I got to use a power hammer recently and it was amazing and I would love to get one but I don't have the money to buy one but I would like to make one I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction to a manual for a smaller and cheaper one for pattern welded steel and knife and tool making.

If you read through this section, where you started this thread, you will find threads like this one:

This is but one example of home-builds that you will find on this forum. Get to studying and sweat that brain!

Michael - i’m also new at this, but wanted an inexpensive, useful power hammer for drawing out homemade damascus billets. I did a little research and built this one as a “prototype.”  Yes, there are improvements to be made, some already made since i took this video, but it seems to be wrking pretty well.  Hopefully the next one will have more of the bugs ironed out and look WAY prettier.  Brad
