With the fabricated adjustable nut/pipe modification, why not just flip it upside down so the shaft is above the pin.?

I genuinely thank you for the sharing of your wisdom and knowledge. My following comment is NOT intended to be a jerk. Your figures show the crankpin arm upside down. As the hammer engages, that pin swivels rather than how your figures display. Again, I am NOT trying to insult you at all! I mention this as my toggle arms are slightly in a V and not fully horizontal. (At 6 o'clock) I'm slowly working on that issue. Through your videos, I did eliminate the double tap on my 50lb LG. How much force does a 50lb LG hammer produce? Again - THANK YOU!

Some stuff is better cut rolled and welded. I make sockets out of 14 ga. Two piece, welded. It's much faster than forging, and a lot less work. My Grandfather had a coal forge he used for riveting. When I was a teenager I used to pound out mild steel knives. They were crude and soft and wouldn't hold an edge. Neither my Grandfather or I knew anything about heat treatment or tempering, or what the right steel was. The sad part about that was that I had a uncle whom lived in the Chicago area, and every time he came down he brought a bunch of junk to give my grandparents. Often there were spud wrenches in the mix. What I didn't know was that with a little knowledge I could have been making real blades. So as a retired sheetmetal worker I finally learned how. It was on my bucket list. I digress. What I ment to say was that it's nice to learn new stuff. You brought new stuff and I appreciate it.

Why do they call it black smithing? You can't work the metal until it's red. Shouldn't it be called Red smithing?

I have just installed an old style 100# little giant. It has a 3hp motor that runs 1140 rpm. I still have to get power to the machine so I have not run it yet. It’s been totally rebuilt ,bushings replaced the Babbitt ,new spring ,new dies, both arms adjustable. I will let you know how it runs, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions lol

Power hammer guru! You have a wealth of knowledge as to how they work! I have a leaf spring helve hammer I built and have got it working well through trial and error but now I have an idea of timing I can get it to work even better! The hammer itself has about 30 kg of lead weights inside of a cylinder that would be close to 20 kg! Its a heavy hammer! I will be making further adjustments!

The best video I have seen for utilising a power hammer to get the best out of what it can do! Not lucky enough to have found a little giant in OZ, they are just not around! I built my own, its a leaf spring helve hammer but very controllable and has a hundred pound or so ram so quite a beast! Looking forward to watching more!
