Stuart Steam Hammer

Stuart Steam Hammer, now working, sort of, very sluggishly on compressed air. Still doesn't work on steam for some reason.

This is the same model that alec steele just started a series on. Wonder how long this one took to assemble?

[@gwheyduke]

That's really cool. I didn't know they made those.

I’m so glad I now know how underwhelming Alec steele’s hammer he’s building is, I assume it’s the same as that one, looks like the same kit

[@Sausketo]

The power depends on the air supply, i saw another video of one of these smashing walnuts, it was incredibly fast

[@SteamEngines]

That looks very solidly built Roly.

[@RolyWilliams]

It is - very! It weighs nearly 5kg.

@@RolyWilliams Roly were they actually used as tools, or just steam models?

[@RolyWilliams]

@@SteamEngines It's just a model. The original is about 5-10 metres high! There's a video of the original on Stuart's web site iirc.

[@SteamEngines]

@@RolyWilliams LOL ...i thought they may have been used by jewellery or something. Jeez using ones 10 metres high would have been a dangerous occupation!!!!

[@JaapGrootveld]

why is it so slow?
