    In this video Chris and Ilya give an inside look at the power hammer that we have here at our blacksmith shop. We even show some restoration on a power hammer or two and some that are in the works being restored now. We cover how each hammer works and what makes each power hammer unique. Everything you need to know about mechanical hammers such as Little Giant Power Hammers and Bradley Helve and Strap hammers. Ilya also breaks down our self contained 165 kg Anyang hammer and gives a brief run down of how a hammer like that or Nazel or Beche would work and what makes them different from others hammers.
    We will do more videos like this if you like it. We are getting several old new hammers in this upcoming year and hope to share them with you all when they live again!

    It was nice to hear about the history of the power hammers that you own. I have never used those kind that are used on your channel, but I have used a Double oscillating Air/Steam drop forge hammers for both close die and open die forging. It would be awesome to learn how to use such a small hammer. The hammers I used were open frame ranging from 10,000 lbs. to 25,000 lbs.

  • @Zogg1281

    Wow, those old power hammers are amazing and the idea of a power hammer running off a water wheel is really cool. When watching some of the home built hammers, it's interesting to realise that a lot of them are variants of the older hammers. Thanks for this video and have a great Christmas

    and easy to repair.
    The machines from 1960-1975 are more complex but also for the eevity and still easy to repair.
    the new machines are too complex and difficult to repair, 10 years and only scrap.

    Very informative video! If you're going to do more of these in the future, you may want to invest in a tripod that stabilizes the camera in high wind environments. It's a little nauseating watching the small shakes in the informational shots. There's also software that does the same thing.
    Keep up the great work, y'all!

    @howler6490 2 года назад +1

    The historical background of the water-driven trip hammers goes back to the roman era!
    There is a site in France built on a steep hillside where there is evidence of forging AND flour production as the water descends to the valley floor, via a series of units, all driving off the same river.
    This style is also still to be seen in rural china, not however for metal but for pounding sticky rice!
    It's a community owned project.
    Fascinating that the idea has been in use for roughly 2,000years!
    I worked in production and never really got the chance to "play" with the big toys in the workshop.
    Sometimes, I really wish I had.
    Thanks for a great visit.

    You guys should make a video about sharpening and repointing plow shares .
    Not sure where your getting a lot of your details from but I'd love to see that done cold.
    Why are babbit bearings precursors to bearings, instead of just being a type of bearing?
    Why does it sound cringe to refer to an electric motor as an "engine"?
    Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate what you guys are doing here, I too have a passion for antique machinery and traditional metal work.
    I do however criticize some of your explanations for being vague and yet authoritative at the same time.
    Nomenclature is important to get right when you're trying to teach and explain a process or a mechanism.
    Some of what I'm saying is a little cheeky, but overall I appreciate what you're doing and your effort to explain these examples of powered forging hammers.

    OMG! The first time I have come across a video sponsor (those boots) that I have genuinely been interested in hearing about and now possibly buying. I wouldn't hate commercials as much as I do if they were for things I might actually want to buy. I don't care how many times I get bombarded with RAID shadow pay to win I won't ever get the game. If I'm watching videos on forging stuff or whatever I'd be more interested in stuff that relates to the video in some way if it's a video for gaming, then by all means show game commercials. And if I've been bombarded with the same thing and I skip or never engage for the love of God stop showing me that crap, all it does is make me hate that product and ensure I will never buy it. Oh, and another tip if RUclips continues to not screen for scams and illegal products or show links to shady malware websites then don't EVER expect me to trust anything that you advertise, I won't take the time or risk expense to find out what is legit or not. Most of this rant is in regard to RUclips's shady relationship with scammers and malicious actors whose cheap advertising policy has made it cost efficient for bad actors to use its platform to ply their trade and not this creator.

      If it were up to me I'd only ever advertise for tools and things people who enjoy blacksmithing would use, but sometimes there just aren't those ads available and my kids gotta eat just like your kids. If I take time to film and edit a video then it's time spent that I'm not making things to sell and make a living so yes sometimes Raid Shadow Legends happens.

    Babbit bearings are actually still common in industry. Many old motors that are not easy to replace have babbit style bearings, and as long as the fit and finish is solid, they work great. Contemporary roller bearings are easier and can be run with looser tolerances, but they definitely still use babbits.
