Clay Spencer Tire Hammer Class - October 2020
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2021
- This video will give you a good overview of what to expect from a well-run tire hammer build class. In this particular class 32 Hammers were built in 2.5 days. These hammers have 70lb rams, 1.5hp motors and 515lb anvils. This Clay Spencer Tire hammer workshop was held in October 2020 at the Chappapeela Crafts School in Robert, Louisiana. All parts for the hammers were supplied by Curtis Herrmann from Oklahoma. For info on future classes at this location please visit www.chappapeelacrafts.com/
For more information on these tire hammers, check out the Tire Hammer page on my website at www.derekmelton.com/ and Clay Spencer's page tirehammer.org/tirehammer_webs...

To the guy with the artificial legs. I get mine soon, I just hope I can walk like you. I need to get back to my shop. This looked like amazing fun.
He sure wasn't slowed a bit. That guy was gettin' after it! Good luck with your legs! We live in amazing times with great prosthetic tech getting better all the time.
hi just curious how it's going? it workdd out good ?
OMG that looks like a real vacation, making parts and building stuff. Love it!!!
I see Clay has updated his hammer design. At our hammer build (2017) we poured melted led into the hammer instead of having a solid steel hammer. I think our hammers were rated at 70 lbs. The build I participated in was a 2 & 1/2 days also. However, several weeks prior, the steel was ordered and tons (literally) of it had to be cut to size for numerous different parts. I'm not complaining, its was fun but there is so much work that takes places before the build actually begins. Clay was there on the last day to fine tune each machine and give his okey okedoky. We each got an announcement poster advertising the build and I asked Clay to sign mine, which he graciously did. I had it laminated and it now hangs in my shop.
That’s awesome! I got to see Clay again recently at the Alabama forge meeting.
I can reply as I got the latest versions of the plan (to produce tire hammer in france). Solid hammer is for heavier hammer and requires larger anvil. Some other design points have changed but plans still contain the two versions.
One of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
I had no idea this was a thing. This is awesome on many levels. Smiths meeting other smiths, building something of value for your craft, getting an experience of seeing how something is actually built from raw materials.
My goodness... What I would give to have access to a class and finished product like this... Truly awesome school and effort by all. Well done.
Probably around $3000.00. That’s the last price I heard.
40+ years as a pipefitter working with metals and I've never done anything that can be called blacksmithing, but it's always fascinated me. I'm really impressed.., and that's coming from someone nicknamed 'Inspector Gadget' because I'm always building stuff (gadgets) I'd give my pension to be younger and a part of this team!
WOW!!! What a great experience to be a part of!! And drive away with a ready to use mega tool!!
Now, this is a class I would sign up for any day!!
Cool, I would have enjoyed that class. I'm a 76 year old retired carpenter and now live in a senior retirement apartment community in Petaluma CA. I don't think my neighbors would appreciate a new found joy of learning and using a tire hammer in this community. I'm not too keen on some aspects of social media but give credit where do like RUclips opening up the world of craftsmanship and the "how to" to the DIY.
Super cool idea bringing in the builders/ owners and making there own hammer learning from each other nothing better then that great job to all great video to watch. Well done everyone!!
This is just amazing, two thumbs up for everyone involved. Great video thanks for documenting and sharing
WOW!!! That is awesome!!! I need to check into that class for sure!!
A true vacation for the men (and mustn’t be forgetting the ladies too ), this looks brilliant, plus you get to be taking home a big gift for your efforts. Looks like there’s going to be a surge of folks signing up for this 🥤👍👍👍
Im curious as to how many of these guys didnt think ahead and dont have a truck nor anything at home to off load it. Just the post was over 500lbs. So you looking at 700 give or take all done. Guy driving the little compact tercel is like jeez I gotta rent a U Haul and a bloody forklift. OMG No a Crane I cant get into the back yard because of the privacy fence. It had to be true of at least one of them. A guy up in Va. Built this beautiful Cabin Catamaran. 4 years of building and when he was done. He neglected to realize. That not only did the whole front of his garage had to be taken apart. Due to the support structure Half of the front of his kitchen wall had to be taken down because of the solid laminated support beam. It cost him sooo much tear down and rebuild. Just to get it out of the house
That’s a really cool idea! Having everyone build their own hammers like that, sure save a lot on labor! Lol be safe with those boys! Cheers
That class looked like a lot of fun and the hammers were amazing congratulations everyone👍👏
I see a new kind of corporate-free , locally controlled, craft manufacturing economy. It can be applied to a lot of things, including materials processing. It will be needed in the near future.
I believe there are more blacksmiths active now than there have been in hundreds of years. Combine that with addiditve manufacturing and 3D printing, cnc production, etc. The sky is the limit.
2 bad no body wants to work as I have sense the day I grad from high school 1997 I've took 1 week off work sense then I can't get a person to work 1 week even paying them 1000 dollars for 40 hours Monday Friday it's fucking sad what this country has come to be !!!
And this is starting pay not years the first week of work
@@rickybailey7123 We had people of all ages at the build, they all worked their tails off.
@@rickybailey7123 What type of work do you do and in what area? I
I've never heard of a tire hammer. Most interesting thing I've seen all month on RUclips. It is where the rubber that meets the steel wheel that matter.
The tire hammer is a modern re-imagining of the original “Little Giant” blacksmiths power hammer. They work exceptionally well if they’re properly built!
I was there the whole weekend and was totally amazed at the how every one worked together . John was a great host for this event. I got photos and video of it all.
Me 80 years old mine mechanic. Love to see the great work and crews.
Awesome thinking.... awesome way of doing things , awesome unity in objectives and just a all around awesome thing to do ... Insperational stuff.
Was very enjoyable group!!!
Clearly love such kind of coworker for the same goal and share good spirit, knowledge etc... Very very nice to see
Cheers from France 🇲🇫
Extremely well organized. Nicely done!
This makes me really happy to know all these hammers are out there making stuff.
Going to this years November class, it looks like it will be a fun time ! Thanks for the video.
See ya there.
Nice work! Really enjoyed watching.
Thanks!!
Wow! This is awesome. Good builders work together,It's interesting.On a massive scale.I wish you good success.👍
Magnifico progetto e ottimo sistema bravi
Wow! What an operation.
I'm attending the class this July and I can't wait!
Malcolm, how much the class/hammer costs. Thank you.
@@markspc1 $2500 for everything ( materials and instruction)
Give these men a BELLS! Going to use this video to make me one I think!
Молодцы ребята! Коллектив как семья 👪 хорошо поработали.
Спасибо! Семинар прошел очень весело!
Awesome video!!!
Great idea.
Great video
This is too cool!
SUPER Brillante idée !!!
Very cool!
you should bring this class over to the UK i guarantee you.d sell it out 10 times over
I agree but can you imagine what the neighbours are going to say when it starts pounding away!
@@theonlybuzz1969 Oi, you got a loicence fer dat!?
Heck I wonder what it would sound like when all 32 of the tyre hammers start working together.
LOL I was wondering the same thing. Missed opportunity if you ask me.
It would need over 300A of service
Lovely film 👍👍👍
VERY COOL to see a bunch of independent craftsmen working together like that, just think how long it would take if each man had to build his own from scratch....
Love it, stuck oin Ohio so wo t make it down for one. Would love to make the Nov class but alas too much at home to do.
Great video. Have the plans and the parts to build one. Just need to make time now 😬👍✊
Any way you could send me a copy of these plans or a link to get them I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Thanks, mate
NOW, HOW COOL IS THAT!!!
Very cool!
Oil Valley Blacksmith Association built 23 Clay Spencer tire hammers, with Clay Spencer about 15 years ago. It took 3 of us a full month to do all the preparation work to make it possible to complete all those hammers in that two and a half days that Clay Spencer was there. We didn't have the video technology at the time.
muy buen video pero mejor realización de estos herreros colaborativos, con un final feliz donde cada uno obtiene su martinete, excelente ejemplo de cooperativismo. podrían mandar los planos para que podamos tener tambien nuestro martinete? gracias.
See to me, this would almost be a vacation. Would love to do this when I have the room and demand to justify a power hammer.
Сколько же счастливых людей) Хорошо поработали!
Fantastic ,shame we didn’t have a similar keen bunch of fellas in Australia ,I would be in it for one
great video
I was thinking the excess luggage bill to get one of them back here would be a bit rough. Trying to work out what that chunk of steel for the anvil would cost locally.
Good job organizing a group of strangers and the preparation to do so.
Awesome
I watched this video from Brasil and I’m thinked this work amazing. Congratulation for all team.
Thank you
I have been a Machinist for 44 years and built all kinds of machines I would love to take this class and build one of these but my problem is I live about 6 states away and hauling my completed hammer home is a bit of a chore great video
We had a guy come all the way from California with a Jeep and a UHaul. 😄
@@derekmelton good idea never thought of that possiblity just driving down and renting one at U-haul thanks
Had this same thought about using a tire to make a power hammer though I was just going to use the rim
Dude, I want to go , I need to find out the when and where for sure
This is badass
✌👍Curtis
63 yr old welder/fabricator here. I truly miss building stuff 🤕
Just bought me another Hobart Handler 140 mig welder... Just wish I had a place to set it up
That was cool
Gotta say i envy every guy in the class. I'm too old to take advantage of this sort of thing now.
What an awesome class. I would love to take a class that. How much does something like that cost?
hi there very interesting thanks john
Good job
wish there was something like this here in Australia
Are plans available for a home build as I doubt you do classes in the UK!
Love to join in with such a class!
Awesome community manufacturing.
Big lesson for metal fabrication as well as covid, be aware of your fellows and distance, and discharge.
We all survived.
How big is it from the ground to the center of the wheel?
Olá amigo, vc é fantástico sou do sul da Bahia Brasil
video was great, as was the music, can you please tell me who that group was
Robbie in Te Puke New Zealand ..ta
Does each participant get a tire hammer? Or are they sold to others? And how much is the class?
Forgive me to ask this for you sir, but have a project? I from Brazil and I think this tire hammer is amazing, I wish to take this class but my home is far away, if you have a project I will appreciate, thank you so much.
how do they acount for work peace thickness ?
After assembly completion, those famous words that everyone enjoyed to hear,”Ok, now tear them down, got to paint them!” Never did figure out who said that, but spray Rustoleum was sold out at all local stores. Great vlog, thanks for sharing. What is typical cost of all parts at your location?
According to the website the entire class and build is $2985 That includes all parts as far as I can tell.
So what does a class like this cost.
Does the cost of the class include getting a hammer.
If not how much more was the hammer?
$3000 this year
I can't seem to find the plans for the hammer could someone please send me a copy or a link on where to acquire them I have tried looking on the linked websites but they send me to places to buy tyers.
Thank you😊
Got some blue prints for the design?
Does anybody know who makes the forge being used at 10:40?
Who came up with the drill mixer to agitate the oil during the quench? I bet he's a painter or a dry waller. Great idea❤
What is the cost to take this workshop course?
could you please tell me the number of poles in the motor
Does the wheel put much pressure on the motor shaft? Otherwise looks like a ripper few days. Wish we had something like this in Australia
Nope. Works great.
Do you know when the next Clas will be offered?
Hi Clay Spencer? Tom Copland in Ayr Scotland. Do you have plans for that power hammer build, I am trying to rebuild my Blacksmiths shop at my house as I am to old to be traveling.
