June 23, 20196 yr Here is the result of 2 years imagination and a year building. It far exceeds my expectations and Im extremely happy with the machine. I will make more vids of what it can do. It expands the capabilities of a mechanical hammer and addresses the major issue I did not like about mechanicals... Height adjustments I did not enjoy doing. The configuration allows for maximum power regardless of thickness and closes the gap between a self contained and a mechanical. enjoy
June 24, 20196 yr Pretty slick build. Couldn't hear the hammer working over the music and I like to hear machinery speak. Frosty The Lucky.
July 2, 20196 yr Author Good fun the past weekend putting the press and the hammer to work welding up a damascus billet 1.5"x4"x3" of 18 layers with a friend! Sorry, i have no idea how to rotate the video now that its done. I filmed it with my camera sideways.... IMG_0667.MOV
October 12, 20205 yr Author simple video of the Hydra Gen 1 prototype running. the next machine plan to have a completely hydraulic hammer and about a 100 pound hammer weight with a 29Ton forging press and on the fly height adjustment.
