I think you've made yourself a perfectly functional power hammer Josh. It's always a great feeling when a self built machine works as you'd hoped and it made me smile to see your enthusiasm. It'll obviously make a huge difference, they're such a huge time saver it isn't even funny, and unfortunately yes that's the difference between making money or not these days. Good on you bloke. I've made two hammers so far but neither were pneumatic, or for me even. They were both variations on the 'tyre' hammer design and I think Kevin Boys is still running one of them over at Surrey Docks. I've got a couple of questions about the pneumatic design: The valving seems to be a straight on or off system, either picking the ram up or pulling it down, so I'm guessing the only way to feather that is to switch the valving before it's completed a full stroke? Are you tapping the foot control rapidly when the ram is down to get the lighter blows? The other thing that struck me Is that knocking sound every now and then on the lifting stroke. Is that the piston topping out against a hard stop of some sort, either inside the cylinder itself or on the frame? I noticed when you didn't let the piston run a full cycle on the lift the camera didn't shake anywhere near as much as when you did. Feels like there's a lot of shock transmission going through the frame there. Personally, I'd try to run it without hitting that hard stop as much as I could to save wear and tear. Cheap replacement bits still aren't as cheap as no replacement bits eh? May I suggest making a hydraulic forging press from a log splitter for your next homebuilt machine? You'll have a full house then, or a full shed at least. :D

@joshuadelisle

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Ian! Yes tapping foot, if I go half through the valve I can get a very light blow by reducing the speed and can adjust the psi for more control range, it's very much like a drum kit. Knocking top is my first gremlin to kill, I'm thinking a rubber washer inside the ram maybe? Tire hammer was one I looked at but wanted it smaller and easier to build. Hydraulic press is one I would love but other than space it's lack of decent power for that, I'm on extension leads from the house still. Fuse hasn't blown yet and wires don't get too hot but can't have any serious power operations, the welder and compressor work off a blue 16amp plug and have to switch it over so they never run at the same time. I am thinking about a gas forge though on the outside of the shop with a hatch on the wall close to the side of the hammer? Thought that would keep excess heat and carbon monoxide outside. Cheers all the very best. J

I've researched power hammers for about a year. I decided on one yesterday.........then I stumbled on to the greatest "DIY" power hammer I've ever seen. I'm so pumped right now. I showed my wife expecting the same excitement......eye roll. Nevertheless 👊 bump across the pond.

This is brilliant, I like this design much better than a wheel hammer. Just the wheel and all the mass flailing around in front of your face scares the hell out of me. This design also has a larger throat allowing more flexibility in material thickness. Well done.

@@nameloc1000 gasifiers will produce excessive Steam if the wood chips contain more than 20% water and when the gasifier is in use and when the chips are under high heat and low oxygen the gases content will travel through the gasifier and most of the steam will condense to the cyclone and the radiator will help condense more of the steam back into water and the filter media example straw will also create more surface area for the steam to condense on. And when you get your gasifier operating properly the only byproduct from the wood gasifier will be activated carbon that has uses in itself
