jimbob Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just finished a Hammer stand like BP166... for the base I used three routers welded in a triangle then two more stacked on top of them; used angle iron to brace it up. made the rings 15 inches with 25 2 1/4" cut from a spring welded to the larger ring. I cut my disk stand off and dropped it on the top going to have to cut about four inches off so the stand will be at the right hight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It looks pretty handy. I assume the racks rotate yes? A tong rack next perhaps? Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 yes it does turn. "dial a hammer" . already have a couple of tong racks...one is and old steel wheel barrel mounted on a post with a 5/8 bolt so it turns;I use it for the tongs I'm using at the time.have a larger rack for the ones I don't use much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkle spike Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ok in my opinion you have way too many hammers, I will send you my address to relieve you of this problem... Looks great! One thing I learned myself, DON'T put your hammers on a rail attached to your anvil. HOT sparks fall on the handles where they go through the head, and will burn them up, or if epoxied, they will smolder and stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Woolsey Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Nice stand! I need to show this picture to my wife; I need just a couple more hammers.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Nice stand, but is it big enough? I ask because you still have hammers on the ground or are those the ones you are sending off to uncle spike?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Nice stand, but is it big enough? I ask because you still have hammers on the ground or are those the ones you are sending off to uncle spike? a couple of them belong to my son ...the bottom is too large to fit the stand he'll have to cut them or trim them the way he wants . yes it is too small I going to make one more rim of 25 then lower the shaft about five inches so the shelf will be where I can use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakwoodironworks Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Jimbob, It won't be long before you can fill up a rack with your collection of Hofi hammers. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 if you look at the middle picture your see five of that type on the left in the back and one empty space. you start using a balanced hammer and you don't want to pick up one that is not !
