Question, do you take requests on demascus patterns? Alec always says to suggest new ideas but never takes our ideas. I would love to see what jelly role demascus looks like when you twist it.
Glad you got the Power Hammer fixed, last thing you want is Alec Steele turning up at the workshop saying "I sensed someone had broken my old Power Hammer!"
I can drive from ND to take a look at it, probably won't fix it or do much of anything at all to help but I can stand there and look serious while I stare at it.
They are ultra violent high energy machines. I run a modern 75ib utility hammer and as well built as it is... it is still trying to tear itself apart and requires maintenance
That motor was made when safety grounds didn't exist (safety itself probably wasn't even a thing)... Also, you realize that if you run the power hammer in reverse, now you have a way to recover bar stock from all your failed projects!
3 things. First, Matt saying “that’s the on button” as the camera paned out to show those huge gears turning felt like something out of dexter’s laboratory. Second, cast iron welding scares me and I never seem to have full oxi-acetylene bottles any time I need to braze anything. Third, king sized mattresses are cool, but McMaster-Carr face shields with tinted fold down visors and long sleeve coveralls are cooler.

Gotta love the scars from burns. 20 year welder in the petroleum Industry and I gotta say I get some weird looks at a Dr visit. Wife asks me when going to stop shooting up🤣🤣😒
I love your channel Will and my heart aches EVERY time you mention "power hammer" problems. For historical reasons. So after a sigh of relief, phew, I had a serious giggle near the end of the episode...the eh, "look like", comment? I KNOW, just from your smile, there can be no confusion...you have all your own teeth. Everyone has a past, eh?
Try light chain main sleeves and gorget, for all the burns. Something with small rings, maybe aluminum. That way it will be light, won't retain heat, and should allow most spark to just bounce off. More importantly, it won't catch fire.
for massive amounts of grease like the inside of the motor casting you where pulling off could you have done something like boil it in isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the grease?
Just a tip with the screw driver/wrench trick - most of them have six sided handles, but with divots that fit better into a ring spanner, not a shifter.
Perhaps wearing button up denim shirts could help against flying sparks. Little bit more comfortable and flexible than wearing a leather jacket. Keep several at the shop to change out. Wearing a woolen/acrylic anorak wouldn't necessarily be my first choice in a hot metal situation.
hey Will, im not sure if your complaint is that face shields are hot, but if thats the case, they make wire mesh face shields for chansaw work. maybe that might give you some breathability, and protection.
Whomever sold that motor made no money on it after paying around $70 in fees to ebay. They might have made more just scrapping it out. For your sake, Will, I'm glad that they auctioned it.
That motor seems like a steal! Surely the scrap value of the copper would be worth more than that? I also have a question, why is the end cap having a crack a problem? Isn't it just there to cover the internals? So if it's still doing that does it really make a difference?
That cap keeps the motor rotor centered as it contains the shaft bearing. If it failed completely the motor would probably tear itself apart and possibly do other damage to the surrounding area depending how catastrophic it was.
Covering the internals but having big vent holes is counterproductive. That's not even a secondary purpose. Motor shafts are suspended by the front and back end caps, if they were not they would wobble like a top and make scrap metal out of themselves.
WILL he break another power hammer STELTER PS maybe order a recast of the motor face plate and made a vid of it and casting factory 🤔 could be pretty cool :)
For the record Will I have way more heroin looking scares than you will ever have, I’ve been welding professionally for 27 years and it looks like I’m an addict but have never tried drugs in my life
Can you not fabricate a new cover out of sheet steel and flat bar? All it needs to do is hold the spindle bearing at the correct location and sufficiently guard the front windings and fan blades and allow sufficient air flow. Might need to do some creative bending but it should be doable.
If you paid 500USD for guaranteed 4 day shipping and it took 9 days, you should definitely write the courier a particularly legal sounding letter to threaten them with being sued for 500USD if they don't refund you given they fucked up the 4 day guaranteed bit.
He still uses his shop. This shop is for production work. His shop is basically for his one off custom work. Makes sense when you have employees to run the production
Anyone know of someone who is good at welding cast iron in Southern California? I broke my pattern makers vice about a year ago and haven't been able to find someone who might be able to fix it.

brooklyn bedding i thank you so much
The new logo is absolutely amazing will! 👌🏼

I was thinking the same, as I have a similar skill set. The UK is closer to Montana than North Dakota, isn't it?
@@johnoconnor4941 I don't even know what UK means, but I'm sure with enough beer we can figure it out.
whats with you and broken power hammers man
hahha
When you use them all the time things go south
They are ultra violent high energy machines. I run a modern 75ib utility hammer and as well built as it is... it is still trying to tear itself apart and requires maintenance
"use" includes moving on pallet jack?
Dont even mention that incident lol
That motor was made when safety grounds didn't exist (safety itself probably wasn't even a thing)...
Also, you realize that if you run the power hammer in reverse, now you have a way to recover bar stock
from all your failed projects!
That is only true on April 1st.
😂

9:05 Flathead screwdriver and a hammer is how those are installed and removed.
Years goes by, but the Chambersburg motors keep having drug problems and Will is still hilarious
I will never get over the shock of seeing the power hammer tipping over. You have become permanent in my mind for the rest of my life.
The sound of his voice in that video haunted me when I moved my own power hammer.
@rpower1401 "NOOOOOOOO!!!"

Its always fun working up a sweat and having a damn constellation show up on your chest.
Honestly, that was probably a blessing in disguise! The "new" one looks very fresh and will probably last you a long time!
New logo looks sick!
I use a handkerchief around my neck to keep stuff from going in my shirt. It makes me look like a cowboy too
I like welding leathers.
going to need a whole video of your colour matching it
It's cool to see someone your age keeping the trades alive. I have enjoyed watching you and Alex for several years now. Stay safe.
Get vibration dampers for the bottom of the motor
This was super interesting! The pine tar / cloth wrap was so cool. I wonder what the date would be on that?
Just run the ground to one of the case bolts holding electrical box on or drill and tap some threads in jbox whole frame is ground
Also may I add Will, that new logo of yours is pure FIRE!
Would it be possible to recast the old motor casing?
that pine tar & cloth mess was what was used before electrical tape.
Good job fixing the hammer Will. Now you have to paint the motor housing to match. I'd still try to get the other motor cover welded as a backup too.
BAD MATT NO COOKIE! lol Old equip always has breakage But the nice thing is you can usually suse out a fix.
Get some of the gaudy teal colored welding shirts. They aren't quite as heavy as leather. You won't win any style but you won't get burnt.
Love the role. More of the making

It was a lucky thing to be able to fine a motor that worked to get the power hammer working again. Good deal.
for massive amounts of grease like the inside of the motor casting you where pulling off could you have done something like boil it in isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the grease?
Try some welding sleeves for arm protection.
Glad to see ya got it going w/o habing to ship my spare granary motor to you.👍
Just a tip with the screw driver/wrench trick - most of them have six sided handles, but with divots that fit better into a ring spanner, not a shifter.
I remember when alec and his wife painted that hammer. It was such a cool machine
I want to see you guys recast that end plate.
"Andrei, you broke *another* power hammer?"
Matt is a menace. You know it. We know it. He knows it. We all need to stop pretending that he's not.
Old truck update please
Def...Car Guys want old truck content. 🙂
240v you could also use a standard British 3 phase. :)
England 3 phase is 415volt
I gotta say, it sure is good at the "Throw shit at Will" part of the job!
That new intro, love it but all I saw was Turd Mark... I know what you meant, and I know I'm a child, but it was Turd Mark and I can't unsee it.
I'll buy a bar as soon as they're available... good luck scaling things up!
Lock out - Tag out.
It's CRAZY you can find a motor that big for $140!! That's awesome.
Pallet Jack??
Omfg 😂
Perhaps wearing button up denim shirts could help against flying sparks. Little bit more comfortable and flexible than wearing a leather jacket. Keep several at the shop to change out. Wearing a woolen/acrylic anorak wouldn't necessarily be my first choice in a hot metal situation.
Apron + giant gears + tons power = Well let just be glad we didn't find out.
hey Will, im not sure if your complaint is that face shields are hot, but if thats the case, they make wire mesh face shields for chansaw work. maybe that might give you some breathability, and protection.
At least Matt didn’t do something like break the piston. Alec already had to tear down and repair the piston once.
Be a great project to see if you could cast a new motor housing
The motor could have come off a ship of some kind. Ships run an ungrounded system. The hull of the ship is the ground, hence, no ground point.
Ground wasn't invented until after that motor was built.... Hahahaha
First time we’ve seen the International in a while and it was in an ad lmao
Whomever sold that motor made no money on it after paying around $70 in fees to ebay. They might have made more just scrapping it out. For your sake, Will, I'm glad that they auctioned it.
MARTY STARTED FROM DA BOTTOM, NOW HE HERE
HE ON THE TOP!!
Why no braze vs trying to weld cast iron? No matter, New (to you) motor, Lets go!
Stay warm brother.
More blacksmithing B-roll please!
Thumbnail killed me
that motor was replaced wright after Alec bought the hammer. will was there .
More forging, please.👍
That motor seems like a steal! Surely the scrap value of the copper would be worth more than that?
I also have a question, why is the end cap having a crack a problem? Isn't it just there to cover the internals? So if it's still doing that does it really make a difference?
I believe that it also has a bearing in it… so it being well supported seems kinda important.
That cap keeps the motor rotor centered as it contains the shaft bearing. If it failed completely the motor would probably tear itself apart and possibly do other damage to the surrounding area depending how catastrophic it was.
Covering the internals but having big vent holes is counterproductive. That's not even a secondary purpose. Motor shafts are suspended by the front and back end caps, if they were not they would wobble like a top and make scrap metal out of themselves.
Copper is only 3 dollars a lb rn
They got him on the shipping.
Hey, I have the exact same coffee cup. Did you steal yours too?
WILL he break another power hammer STELTER
PS
maybe order a recast of the motor face plate and made a vid of it and casting factory 🤔
could be pretty cool :)
I still think about the power hammer that fell over...
Why not make a video of recasting the motor housing?
Can’t believe you didn’t paint the new motor to match!
Marty is such a good and handsome boy!
Marty Fans👇🏼
I’ll take it 😂 since it’s good and broken in
Why not braze the old housing instead of welding it?
Did Alec not find this during his refurbishment / painting of this power hammer???
Sounds like you can get that exorbitant shipping fee back! Score!
Wait?! The truck in sponsor segment looks like you finished without us?! 😮 Are the videos coming or did we miss the window?
Matt also broke my drill press....who do I talk to about that??
Bed on the back of the truck?
For the record Will I have way more heroin looking scares than you will ever have, I’ve been welding professionally for 27 years and it looks like I’m an addict but have never tried drugs in my life
NOT ANOTHER ONE!
Will: While you're at it please paint out them stupid looking shark teeth Alec painted on it with his girlfriend!

Poor Matt
1:04 is it keith Rucker by any chance? Be very cool to have a collaboration! Could be Abom also
Iirc Abom only does brazing on Cast Iron. And Keith Rucker might be Out of Order for a little while.😅
Why did you move out of your shop?
He still uses his shop. This shop is for production work. His shop is basically for his one off custom work. Makes sense when you have employees to run the production
You need to braze weld cast iron with bronze, regular welding isn't the way to go.
brass not bronze, doh!
But you didn't paint it to match the main hammer casting!
Oh no. Not Sharky Shark Face.
So what your saying is, that motor would be perfect for a wedding?
Plastic electrical tape came out in the 40's and that put the sunset on friction tape.
I blame Mr Steel he sold you a lemon...
Is this Alec Steeles old power hammer it looks very similar to it
Yes. It’s Alec’s MT shop and all of the same equipment.
Apparently, the welder wasn't a welder!
...good thing it wasn't WIll, this time
I thought for sure you were going to tell us he dropped it off a pallet jack
Anyone know of someone who is good at welding cast iron in Southern California?
I broke my pattern makers vice about a year ago and haven't been able to find someone who might be able to fix it.
Weldind cast iron/steel is not easy. That probably should have been brazed instead.
Gday guys
As long as the motor plate isn’t warped I can fix it
Becareful Will, with old wiring in those motors likely has asbestos.
Stelter Turd Mark? You leave those marks everywhere you go, eh?
Why does Matt look so much like Elijah Woods?
JC $139... where are these amazing deals when I need stuff....
