Look man, I'm just gonna say it. This thing is great. I love that you're using a friction drive "clutch concept" ( if I can put it that way). That is a nice compact machine that doesn't eat up room in the shop and is practical for the application at hand. Great build!
Thanks for the kind words Ben, it took me a good while to get the hammer to run. Could still do with some refining but overall it runs great for small stock.
The one thing I would change is the slide; instead of relying on grease, install rollers so the slide is smoother and more controlled, otherwise an excellent build!
You can't see in this video but I show it in my earlier ones the guide is lined with nylon 66 with journals cut into them a replacement for brass. So it is very smooth issues with rollers is they do not tolerate a lot of vibration so would wear much quicker. The plates are adjustable and very cheap to replace.
I always get good feelings, when i see that People put their GOD given skills on use!! Awesome Job, great engineering, good video!!! :) greetings from Finland!!
A couple of years ago I started collecting up stuff to make a tyre hammer but gave up when I realized that it was too big and would probably lead to a falling out with the neighbours. After looking at your design Im off and racing again. Thanks.
I have been thinking for sone time now that I wanted to build a scaled down tire hammer, your video just cemented the idea. I’d like to see a video of yours moving metal
Belle réalisation avec des pièces simples et éprouvées. Belle idée de transmission avec le galet frotteur qui me rappelle ma jeunesse avec les fameux Velosolex Français. Cela donne un bon petit pilon....
I'd definitely recommend it Mark, I love it. If you are able to I'd definitely recommend getting a small set up such as a little gas forge, few hammers and a make shift anvil to start with such as a piece of rail track. I built my first forge using a few old bricks and a old hoover set to blow. Just be careful haha.
Yes I don't see why not, if I were to make it again tho I would make it belt driven not off a pulley direct to the shaft. Remove the wheel mechanism. 👍
I love the hammer great size for my part time knife making. Is there a way you can send me more picture of the hammer from all angles along with some measurements so I can build my own. Thanks
Very cool. I'm forwarding this to a good friend who I'm sure will be interested in building this design. THEN I'll be checking out your channel! I post Ll kinds of stuff myself, but nothing yet to do with blacksmith /forge work
No it's a very basic machine really, I just intended to use it for drawing out small stock such as knife blanks and scrolling etc. Suitable for when there is a lot of repetition involved.
Looks great man. And it seems to have a nice push behind it. I've seen scrappy the power hammer too! I liked his use of the railway as the hammer face. I've been debating hard on if i should get a nice tredel hammer, or get Roy's air hammer and build a power hammer like this. Im around 3 years in to my smithing venture and i wanna take some bigger steps towards a small career. I have friends in the hippie/fire scene and ive been told live demos would fit right in. How much did it cost ya to get it going, start to finish? Thanks man!🍻
This hammer is great for small stock as it can keep it's momentum and gives it enough time for the hammer to travel to allow for a good strike. I use it for blades as it draws out thin material well, I wouldn't recommend it for thick material upto 20mm + or so. In all it cost me approximately £400. I had to purchase a motor and the stub axle set for a trailer and a suitable spring. The rest I built myself as I had this in the back of my head for a few years and just kept gathering offcuts suitable for the build. I'd recommend the belt hammer design also as they seem quite effective. I'd like to build my own variation of that eventually to compare them.
Class engineering dude 100% respect for the skill u had to make it iv made a few things myself but nothing as intricate as that all the best of luck from Ireland next door Seamus
Cheers Seamus that's very kind of you to say, it took me a few attempts to get the hammer functioning correctly but overall it was worth the effort and time.
@@Hammerandhilt Rob some people just have a great eye for minute engineering I'd have a arc welder where you'd have aCo2 mig welder and youd have a lathe where I have a lidl bench drill ( 120e and a 3yr waranty) haha anyway I'll keep an eye out for your future projects I have a son in limerick university who's nearly a qualified metalwork and Tech Graphics teacher so he'll love your hammer video Take care and we'll talk soon
Система молота отличная. Вижу только один минус. Как заменить сам ударник на молоте???? И как я заметил запускается не плавно. С этим что-то нужно делать. А в общем 👍👍👍при желании каждый сам сможет собрать причём из того что на свалке можно найти. 👍👍👍
Do you mean the offset distance between the tyre bearing and the head of the spring assembly? I can't say for sure, I would have to measure it when I'm at the forge for you.
Very nice hammer. I’m working on a design with a belt… Quick question: before choosing the motor-tire concept, did you consider the motor-belt concept?
I did and even have some of the parts made ready for it such as the crankshaft and pulley wheels. I would like to also try this concept as well, maybe later on I will try building a belt driven variant.
Awesome. I want to make a mechanical power hammer. I got some drill rod that is heavy I can use for ram. How did you figure out counter balance on tire?
The hammer currently runs on a 1400 rpm motor would be more suitable with a 2800. Don't have time currently to mess around with it due to other work. But when it all settles down I will continue with modifying it.
Super robota i świetny projekt 👍. Tez chcialbym coś takiego sobie zbudować ale nie zdążyłem wszystkiego dokładnie obejrzec na filmie. Ale myślę że jak pogrzebię w internecie to znajdę jakiś projekt.
Hi, may I ask a questioin - how do you get the steel for these builds and how much do you pay for it (per kg?) I've been to a few scrapyards in my area (South Leicestershire), they just don't have any solid pieces (just sheetmetal and other stuff but no "chunks" of solid steel round/square, not even any hot rolled sections). I don't even know what to make the hammer or the anvil from. There is a metal merchant in the area but they're charging over the moon. Apparently scrap should be in the range of 30 -50p per kg for solid, but "new" is 2 - 3 pounds! So basically, I can't find any substantial bits of steel to make anything of, unless I order online, and probably pay more than buying a ready-made power hammer. I'm talking about the massive stuff, no problem for flimsy rolled section. By the way love the design. I'm super limited for space but looking to make finer work anyway so that'd be a dream.
At the time I worked as a fabricator so the materials were pretty easy to come by due to offcuts from jobs that we had been working on. The local scrap yard to me also stocks a really good variety of steel from flat bar, solid round stock etc. I had been saving pieces for this hammer also for quite some time, I initially begun the design for it with rough sketches back in 2017. My best advice would be look for local fabricating companies in your area and contact them about possibly buying some offcuts from them. The company I used to work for would throw away large amounts of good quality steel to the scrap. Hope this helps 👍
@@Hammerandhilt Fair enough. Lots of YT "scrapyard builds" content makes it look easy but I never seen any of this material scrapped, all I can find is actual rubbish. I'll just have to keep digging, at least it's good to hear that it's a bit hit and miss (or based on circumstances) for others, too. Thank you very much for the insight appreciate it :)
@@computername no problem, I had to adapt my original drawings to fit with what I could get my hands on also. A lot of mine on box section stuff but used thick walled box when possible, if I couldn't I would reinforce it with gussets as much as I could.
Check if you have any hydraulic cylinder repair places in your area, a piece of old chromed rod would make a decent striker ? I have a couple of scrap yards I visit, one is hit and miss with whatever turns up, but I've snagged some decent stuff. The other has steel section (seconds I think) sitting outside slowly rusting away. Some of it hasn't moved in years, but the price keeps going up as if it was new stock !
@@Hammerandhilt I would be interested as well! I've seen other plans for sale but they are for hammers that are a lot bigger and more expensive in materials and seem to be a lot more complex in design
Look man, I'm just gonna say it. This thing is great. I love that you're using a friction drive "clutch concept" ( if I can put it that way). That is a nice compact machine that doesn't eat up room in the shop and is practical for the application at hand. Great build!

@@mr.phenomi2976 Thank you for the advice 👍 so far it's holding up but I will defiantly look into this. I have not heard of that material before.

Thank you.

Crush a piece of scrap wood under it when dry hammering. It prevents stress and premature wear.
Nice Hammer Rob. Good work.
That is an excellent hammer! I have a large self contained hammer and a 25lb Little Giant. I like them. But despite the size, I LOVE your hammer!
Thank you, yes it is a little underpowered for anything bigger than knife stock. But for the space it takes up it is very effective!
A couple of years ago I started collecting up stuff to make a tyre hammer but gave up when I realized that it was too big and would probably lead to a falling out with the neighbours.
After looking at your design Im off and racing again.

Awesome video! Great work on the hammer. I just finished my hammer and will upload the video soon.

I’m about to build one myself.
Very cool 👍 always wanted to try forging. Never had the space.

Very good simple design and highly affordable, budgetable nice works......
Sweet, very well done. I need one of those also.
My woman wants one...
curious about hammer to anvil weight ratio ?
looks good.
How much for the plans . I love the fact it for a garage as that’s all I have and it’s quite small.thank you Andy
Seriously looks awesome, makes me think of some kind of brotherhood of the steel workstation from fallout haha, very cool
Cheers, I can definitely see that.
Nice build.
Just a little mod on the brake trip would make it stop only at top center, full retract.
That is beautiful!!! So you have any plans?
Genius - absolute genius
i built a water cooled saw, based on the same design principles. It was for cutting lexan, and not leaving any burn marks.
Can you make an extra small one like for a desk?
Yes I don't see why not, if I were to make it again tho I would make it belt driven not off a pulley direct to the shaft. Remove the wheel mechanism. 👍

Not sure how to phrase this,, but do you know what the distance of the main pivot point is? The point where the tire connects to the spring assembly.
Do you mean the offset distance between the tyre bearing and the head of the spring assembly? I can't say for sure, I would have to measure it when I'm at the forge for you.

Hi there, I just built it by trial and error. Tested the hammer throughout the build until I was happy with it's functionality. Thank you.
very impressive
I'm amazing why not get some better qualities steel to start with ??
I'm sorry I do not understand your question?
Yeah nice Hammer but I wanted to see it working
The hammer currently runs on a 1400 rpm motor would be more suitable with a 2800. Don't have time currently to mess around with it due to other work. But when it all settles down I will continue with modifying it.
That's a good idea.
Where did you source the spring?
looks like from a dirtbike
It was from a quad bike suspension 👍
@@Hammerandhilt nice
Cool hammer,I'm not a mechanical so unless you have plans? I can only dream of being a metal head!
No plans as of yet, but once I have tweaked the hammer and happy with it fully I think I may draw some up for it 👍
