Jura T Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 I got my power hammer today. When the guy delivering it saw the place it was meant to go to, he sayed "No way!". In the end we managed to put it in its place. Now I have to find out how to fix the oiler, replace a gasket etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jura T Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 You foam insulated the hammer foundation? Won't it stand a good chance of shifting, making the hammer lean after a while? I have now used the hammer for about one year (though fairly limited amount) and the base has not shifted/sunken. So it seems that I got lucky with the foam. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it seems that I got lucky with the foam. That's good to hear and really good to know it'll work. Living in a cold climate means the more ways you can keep a slab or foundation where you want it the better. I really like your shop, I could there very comfortably. Feels good to have your own place doesn't it? Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in a cold climate means the more ways you can keep a slab or foundation where you want it the better. I really cannot suggest the foam to others until I see that it stands up at least for ten years. Then again, as I wrote earlier, the stuff should take (by the specs) the static load it is carrying now. I really like your shop, I could there very comfortably. Feels good to have your own place doesn't it? I really like it a lot too. I like forging in there, sometime I just like stand around there looking at my tools. Just remembered the poem JWB posted some time ago "I like to sit in my shop"; I need to get a chair/stool to my shop. Sometimes weeks go by without time to do any forging, sometimes I'm there every day. Last weekend was nice. My son (9 years old) came to forge with me the first time (he's been there watching me earlier, but this time he got to hit the hot iron). We made small hook together. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
