A Harbor Freight infrared thermometer would be nice for a job like this. JIM

It also could be a mock up design to prove the concept for a more robust hammer once the R&D is proven

I've certainly imagined this machine when peening my scythe. :) It'd be fun to just systemtically measure this and make a 3D model of it so that others could exactly recreate it. Or you know, I'd definitely buy a parts kit. :)

your' a spastik ?

your a spastik

when soot apeard i knew it was fake

babbits are only poured with both molds in place

i only see half ass you tube video

wheres the top half, why you have a chain holding it down

It’s based on the Cam Hammer design first invented by Leonardo DaVinci just on 500 years ago. Beautiful example.

Brother plz make a video how making brush tugging machine

that 's as slick as snot on a doorknob!

Do you have a website or best place to contact you?

That Bandsaw is a piece of art! You get a workout as you build your projects.

I believe this is for hammer sharpening tools, such as scythe, old scicle brush cutters, or corn detastelling knives. The arm around the machine supports a block that the tool handle goes into to keep the blade at the correct angles and would allow the blade to be moved side to side, keeping the edge on the peening anvil. Usually the handle supporting board is made specific to one tool as each person would have a different swing. My grandfather had a less ornate machine like this in his tool shed. I found it useful for breaking walnuts when a mallet hammer was installed. Nice find.

SUPER

O uso do Babitt é sempre atual,é usado nas bielas dos motores de automóveis .

I ran headers for 30 years. All different kinds . If you get stymied by something let me know.

Thank you so much for this explanation and exhibition. I will be having to this myself very soon.

The majority of the wooden pieces, regardless of its designed function, look like they were formerly part of a spinning wheel both in size and design - even the treadle. I would agree it is most likely for scythe blade peening or possibly some kind of tinker's process, but they used swage blocks, anvils, stakes and specialized hammers. Nice find, though.

Foot powered with flywheels. This should come back. It works and it’s fueled by your breakfast.

Can you make a babbit bearing as a pivot

The wheel itself is really interesting. It looks like a mix of construction techniques for both a wheel for a spinning wheel, and a wagon wheel. The spokes are turned rather than created using a spoke shave. Wagon wheels or early automobile wheels didn’t have round spokes, the were more oval, not turned on a lathe. Spinning wheel spokes were turned and given decoration, like these spokes have. The big thing that says to me that the wheel was made (or possibly repaired) by a wheelwright is two things actually, the first being that the spokes go all of the way through the hub of the wheel. This does not happen with spinning wheels, but it always happens with wheels built as vehicle wheels or the weight of the vehicle would push the hub down onto the spokes and destroy the wheel. The second is the way that the sections of the hub are joined using splines. Splines or angled pegs at the outside edge of the wheel are used by wheelwrights to join the different sections of the hub together, but spinning wheels are joined differently with pegs on the inside of the joined sections of hub. It’s ok to do this with a spinning wheel because it will never be bearing the weight of a vehicle that would snap the internal pegs. So it looks like the wheel was made by a wheelwright, but the guy was possibly using off the shelf or pre-made spokes possibly for a spinning wheel. It’s fascinating.

Didn't really learn anything about babbitt bearings.

Did this come from an area with an Amish community because I’ve got a large one nearby and things like this would be common in that community

A simple spark test would be a far less destructive method of determining which is which.

Truly a gem. Thanks so much for posting this find. Congratulations.👍

As a child, 50+ years ago horse shoes were a regular find, take em home, nail em up on an outside wall somewhere! Do not remember the last time I saw a found horseshoe!

Nice, history needs to be preserved and used, not just stored in a dusty museum basement!

Great, can you tell me the formula for the babbitt material?

Very nice, I am thinking about building one similar to this as a continuous scroll saw instead of trip action hammer. Could you share LxWxH of green frame and wheel diameter of this one for reference? Depending where you picked this up, probably fairly easy to trace Josef Maier 1871-1936 (1935-37) and find out a little more about him, as builder or just user/owner.

Pretty neat

👍👌👏

👍👌👏

"Craftsman or craftswoman." Really? The machine's manufacturer was one Josef Mairer , a man. So why be politically corret and include the female sex. Don't try, as people of your generation seem to be doing, to rewrite history to server your political agenda.

The arm allows you to set the angle of the scythe relative to the hammer and then allows you to swing it back-and-forth to get the whole length of the blade at that same angle.. youre welcome... you owe me a beer.

Okay so that nifty power hammer of yours, that arm that articulates around the machine I believe is to be one of the last things that the Craftsman made for this piece of equipment. You have to go back in the time that he made this and think as he was hammering away something felt like it was missing or his job could have been done easily, with that said he came up with this design that helps him with something work with this machine for real and maybe it will strike you on what this arm is designed for.

As others have mentioned that wheel looks like it came from a spinning wheel. It's too small and too light to be a ships wheel.

Over engineered nut cracker🤔

got to be the smallest trip hammer i've seen I am wondering if it is for making flat brass springs for instruments since it is too small to be useful for most blacksmithing

Is the arm for starting the momentum by moving the inner toothed cog? Maybe some rolled leather on the end of the round tit. Beautiful Thing

this a converted spinning wheel for flax or wool

I think craftsman of all types could find use for this besides peening.

- a *raising hammer?*

Looks like a mechanical scythe peening machine

This is for scythes. I have two of those hammers exactly same shape, but my anvil is not that flat and wide, this way i'm able to hammer out(sharpen) the cutting edge even closer to the tip of the blade. Usually the anvil is hammered into a tree stomp. This is the "motorised" version of it. Probably used in the field on harvest time(teamwork) when one person continuosly sharpened the blades for bunch of men who was doing the cutting, children and women tied up the crop/collecting.

I had seen this video in my feed about a week ago and have been looking to find it again since then I can't wait to see what you have in store for us from here on out

I want one.

The arm can be for a lamp.

the arm must hold the snath of the scythe blade
