I'm happy for you. I've watched you from the time when you had the little shop and often regretted not having space for a power hammer. Aaaa living the dream.
Dave Preston's design is the single best tire hammer ever. I'm real glad to see you giving him some limelight. Being able to adjust the gap between dies is a huge advantage.
@@garyhuston I asked him about plans, but he wasn't keen on going through that much work. He said it was pretty intuitive and I was more than welcome to copy the idea. A real gentleman if ever there was!
Quality vid and quality hammer. Thanks for taking the time to show us. I bet your poor shoulder wishes you had made one years ago, but I guess you didn’t have the space until now.
Excellent job Garry! I too built my own hammer a while back, it’s a 100 pound pneumatic, it’s been very useful, I’m sure that tire hammer of yours will serve you very well!
Gary very beautiful hammer there. Very nice job making it. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God Bless.
I think I say this every summer, not sure who's legs are whiter, yours or mine. Given that I just uncovered mine a few days ago I expect mine 😂😂 The hammer looks terrific 👍 and like you, we're all anxious to see you work some iron on it.
The legs are, grubby, I think that’s the best description! I hope to start hitting some iron next week and I have one last thing to add to it, stay tuned as it’s something that you know.
I made one about five or six years ago and I love it! I haven't hardly had to do any maintenance to it other than grease and oil. I wish I would have known about the adjustable head when I made mine because that is genius! I still haven't got around to filling my upright and cross tube with sand but it doesn't seem to affect it other than it might be a little loud. Great job, yours looks fantastic!
I’ve the same type. I bought it from a gentleman who fabricates these hammers with Clay Spencer’s permission. It really handy for saving the shoulder when breaking big stock down to a more manageable size.
@@MrOldclunker as a matter of fact he does use the exact plans. Those plans are, or were, available for purchase at the time. You’re right in that a person could certainly figure out how to build their own just by having a look at the thing and many have done so. In my case it would’ve cost me so much downtime in the shop that the cheaper option was to just buy one ready made.
I must say there isn’t anything that was particularly difficult, the plans aren’t as clear as they could be but if you have photos of ready made ones it really helps.
Nice build. Up to your usual excellent standards. I love the adjustability head. It's genius. I had the thought of using a scissor jack but I think the bottle jack makes a cleaner design. Well done!!!
Hey Gary, I am signed up for a hammer class this year. Building them with the rest of the class should be a good educational experience. I love the idea of the adjustable head height. Wondering if that can be modded later. Thanks for showing what you’ve done. As always love your videos, brother!
I didn’t, but as we speak I am uploading a short video of stills and short clips from the build as I didn’t take any proper video. It should be live in an hour or less.
I am finishing my tire hammer and your videos have been very useful, your channel has been very interesting to me, thank you for it. I would like to ask you what ratio you used for the lead counterweight in the tire respect ram weight? greetings from Argentina

Especially if you plan on doing anything like forge welding or jump welding.

I'm happy for you. I've watched you from the time when you had the little shop and often regretted not having space for a power hammer. Aaaa living the dream.
Absolutely living the dream, I wish I had given up the horses years ago and got this bigger shop, I’m loving every day at work now!
Dave Preston's design is the single best tire hammer ever. I'm real glad to see you giving him some limelight. Being able to adjust the gap between dies is a huge advantage.
It is the best I’ve come across. I’m sure he would make a fortune if he sold plans for them. 😊
@@garyhuston I asked him about plans, but he wasn't keen on going through that much work. He said it was pretty intuitive and I was more than welcome to copy the idea. A real gentleman if ever there was!
@@threeriversforge1997I winged it on the head but wanted to use a proven mechanism. The head turned out really well I’m very pleased with it.
Brilliantly done. The welds look great. Personally, I don’t weld well enough to pull that off myself.
It will save your joints and time.
Kudos

What a beautiful machine. Not only well made, but a top design too. :) Adjustable head is such a top addition. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you too!
Fantastic looking power hammer! Really like that the height is adjustable. Perfect fit in your shop, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Quality vid and quality hammer. Thanks for taking the time to show us. I bet your poor shoulder wishes you had made one years ago, but I guess you didn’t have the space until now.
Thanks, and yes, my shoulders will be very happy!
Super nice build, All the little details just right. I.m jelouse🤣
Glad you like it!
What a beauty for your shop. Well done!
Thanks
Excellent job Garry! I too built my own hammer a while back, it’s a 100 pound pneumatic, it’s been very useful, I’m sure that tire hammer of yours will serve you very well!
Thanks 👍
Very nice build. Your welds look clean and I like your choice of color. Good work.
Thanks

I hope so too
Fantastic looking machine, looks factory made and superb paint job! Top marks on that. Be a shame to get it dirty.
It needs to earn its keep though!
Cracking bit of kit mate. Like the height of the anvil too.
Your shoulder and wrist will apricate this... Great job Gary as always, Cheers mate.
Thanks 👍
Well done Gary that’s going to ease the stress on your shoulders
I really hope so!
Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Congrats Gary. I can hear the anticipation in your voice 🍻

@@garyhuston I'm intrigued 😀 You know me, I'm always tuned in.
Nice job, good looking welds.
Glad you like them!
That is first class work Gary.

Thank you 😊
Looking forward to watching you using it. Wish you could have done a video of you making it. Brilliant
Thanks. It would have been a pretty boring video lots of drilling and welding!
I’ve the same type. I bought it from a gentleman who fabricates these hammers with Clay Spencer’s permission. It really handy for saving the shoulder when breaking big stock down to a more manageable size.
You don't need permission to make a tire hammer, only if you use his exact plans and if his patent os even viable after all these years.

Can you provide contact info of the Fabricator? I want to get one 🙏🏼
@@pgsibilo I’ll see what I can find. He lives in Alabama. I made the drive down and picked mine up when it was ready
@@serendipityforge333 Thanks a bunch 🙏🏼
You did a great job on your build. I have the Clay Spencer plans but i have never attempted to build it.
I must say there isn’t anything that was particularly difficult, the plans aren’t as clear as they could be but if you have photos of ready made ones it really helps.
Nice build. Up to your usual excellent standards. I love the adjustability head. It's genius. I had the thought of using a scissor jack but I think the bottle jack makes a cleaner design. Well done!!!
Thank you very much! I actually acquired a scissor jack for it but the bottle jack just works so well.
Very well made and cracking innovations too. I guess I'm going to have to build one sooner or later - tell me something good about getting old...
The only thing is you have a little bit more time to do stuff as you get older, although you don’t know how long you have in total!
@@garyhustonI guess so, you're a decade or so ahead of me, so I'll take your word for it.
Lovely job that mate. That'll take the strain out of your work.
Thanks, I hope it will help me out!

Nice build, thks for share
No problem 👍
Really nice job Gary!!
Thanks
Great job Gary 👍
Thanks 👍
Oh my. I’m so happy for you. But my elbow and shoulder are definitely jealous.
Hi Gary- very, very nice! Any chance you filmed the actual build, and are waiting to upload it later? I sure hope so...
I didn’t, but as we speak I am uploading a short video of stills and short clips from the build as I didn’t take any proper video. It should be live in an hour or less.

I would like to ask you what ratio you used for the lead counterweight in the tire respect ram weight? greetings from Argentina
Thanks. I didn't use any particular ratio I just used what was suggested in the plans.
Very Nice! Well done!
Thanks
nice, how are your shoulders and arms doing these days Gary?
Pretty good now I’ve had the worst one fixed, just getting arthritis in my hands now!😫😫
Very impressive!!
Thanks, I hope it will make my life easier!

Lovely bit of kit! i cant decide on what hammer to build, the clay Spenser type or the Kinyon air hamer type.
I went for the tyre hammer as my compressor isn’t up to running an air hammer and I didn’t want to have to upgrade it.
@@garyhuston That's a fair point indeed
👍🏻
Very nice, Gary!
Nice hammer Gary , I’m sure your shoulder is already thanking you …
:-)
Nice work Which axis hub and bearings are you using.
Unfortunately I don’t know as they were already attached to the parts I bought on eBay
@@garyhuston Thanks
Very nice! The arms bushings are plastic or just steel?
They are bronze bushes impregnated with oil.
@@garyhuston thank you for answer!
Nicely done.
Thanks!
what a smooth action
Hi Gary , nice m8 i love it , this blacksmith dave preston that makes these , do you have a link to where i can buy one ?
This is his Facebook page facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057641313096 He’s probably closer to you than me he’s in Hereford!
I can't wait!!!!
Do you edit your own videos?
For my sins I do!
OoooOooooH Gary! Nice!
How many kilos does the hammer weigh, sir? subscribe for you
Approximately 25kg
Make a die holder for the side of it
I might just do that!
Do you have a business email? Or any social media?
Instagram, Facebook, and the email on my about page. Why?
