That's a nice build, works well, you might find it more stable and striking better if you tie your anvil to the pillar, to reduce harmonics. I like the way you've got your clutch set up, you've got a nice hammer frequency for fullering out. Thanks for showing!!

Congratulations from Brazil! The best power hammer project I saw. Simple, functional and very efficient! Thank you.

Nice little hammer! Great Job in building it!

Awesome build series. Very nice outcome!

It is very cool looking and seems to work great. I did notice you didn't seem to surface prep anything before welding and I'm not sure if the Tig welds will last long. The ones you did on the horizontal pieces by the coil spring. Anyway those stick welds you did looked the best of them between the Tig, Mig and Stick. Again, you did a great job.

Absolutely impressive, way beyond my level of expertise but i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this process. Thank you very much

Thanks for the comment, It took me about three years before I decided to just go ahead and make my own. I am thinking about doing a video on dimensions on the toggle arm and various parts of the machine. words of advice take your time. It took me five weeks total to collect by and make everything for this hammer

That thing looks awesome

An impressive project. Strikes well, and very well built. If I was ever to do my own I would like it to strike harder with more poundage, however I am unlikely to ever have a location to work a hammer like that where it will not annoy the neighbours. I envy you your skill and your location sir!

Very cool indeed. I am in the process of building an anvil mounted power hammer since I hae limited space. But, it will do what I need. It is a modified Hardy Hammer - which was designed by Roy Adams. I look forward to seeing more videos of you using it. Well done!

I actually just switched mine from the pulley and clutch drive system to the ol faithfulness of a tire hammer(damn belt constantly stretching),I’ll upload how well it works with it Good job on yours man 👊🏻

Just got done binge watching the build, have to say that you made it really easy to follow... All you have to do now is bolt that bad boy to the floor and start making some tooling for it Anyhow I'll be keeping an eye on your channel from now on Subscribed ^.^ P.S. For making said tooling I would Suggest using H-13 hot-work steel, it's really tough to forge, abrasion resistant, and a bit more expensive than other tooling steels, but it's a lot more durable than most steels that I know of plus it's air hardening

Hello. good work. little question. Why did not you build the lower part of the anvil a few inches higher? it seems to me that it would have been less painful for your back. Because right now you have to be lying forward during the work of shaping the metal. But I find your power hammer very well built. Congratulations. have a nice day from Rouyn-Noranda, province of Québec, Canada

Hello how are you? Could you make the project of this hammer available? thanks

I actually hold workshops and classes in my shop. On the side I do custom work and handyman stuff. Thanks for the comment

very impressive, i've learnt a lot! May i make a suggestion though now that I saw how you can make one thing better? That last piece you made, with the 2 rollers on it, to drive the belt? Why not make that a rotating piece, instead of the motor mount? Just put a spring on it, and when you press with your feet, it puts tension on the belt. I assume the motor is always running to prevent high amp spikes from putting it on and off that could blow a fuse? Personally as a safety guard, I find it a bit dangerous to make a moving part of a motor mount, but that's just me. I would even add a little safety feature so it could not turn on by accident. Well, actually, personally I would use a clutch instead of this system, like how the gearbox of a car acts with the motor. All together, very impressive, you must been doing metal working for years and years! I just got started, wish me luck and several first aid kits, lol :D

right now it looks about as powerful as an angry housecat. but maybe with a faster motor and a bit more side stabilization it could make a decent hammer for knives and other small projects.
