I've been watching lots of videos on how to build a power hammer, getting design ideas to build one for myself, and I think this is the best one that I've seen so far! Good job, guys!
If you do it, don't use pillow blocks to guide the main hammer shaft. They're not designed for linear motion and will generate a lot of heat from friction and you will be wasting your money on them because it will rapidly wear out the inner collar. You would be better off doing as with suggested in another comment to use a self-lubricating brass bushing.
Pillow block bearings support a rotating axle, not linear motion through the centerline. Replace these with blocks self-lubricating bronze bushings. My opinion only.
if it works dont fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. This is a good build with the exception of the shaft going through the pillow blocks.
True. But my guess is they used that solely because it allows for a lot more slop in fitting for the tools they have to work with. And can just be bought off the shelf and replaced without much trouble when worn out. Or at least that's my guess. I noticed they tapped it quite a few times with a hammer till the tilt lined up. I have no clue how long that would work and last even if it was greased regularly. Certainly not what pillowblock bearings was designed to do. But I can't help but wonder if it works well enough if you don't have a mill or lathe. Kind of why I watch this stuff. Some of it is an obvious pointless waste of time to build but every once in awhile I find something useful watching it.
He built that with what he had. Easy to replace both the bearings and hammer shaft .4 thumbs up from me. Bsafe dude
@@jhh8688 It won't work, that's the problem. Not long term at least.
I watch over 100 hundreds DIY power hammer design - Yours is the best one - slim, simple, effective made from available parts - Great work - Thanks for posting... I keep the design for mine
compact and SMOOTH. BEST ONE ON KZhead. IVE WATCHED Many videos about diy power hammers. most are too big,too unbalanced etc etc. this one is perfect for me❤
I appreciate the screen being darkened whenever there's welding happening.
Holy cow... You're freaking genius you know that? I never seen anyone made a DIY blacksmith hammering machine before!
Hi...look up on KZhead the following. The Da Vinci Helve Hammer This is a rather. But it's lighter and above All portable. All you need is a bit of improvement...a pistol drill and a sledgehammer. Im going to a old building wood supplier. The key is to get 6" square timber...and 4" stuff. Little steps..but don't lean in too far...once your heads hit...you remain hit.🤜😳🤛
Always impressed by your work. To help with the noise. Fill the square pipe with washed, clean, dry sand. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks brother
Just make sure the sand is dry. No moisture. If the sand is wet, it could rust the tubing from inside out. You could add a little oil to the sand.
@@robarcher3892 just put oil in the sand. Problem solved
Great video, thank you for sharing the build, loved the fact it has a smaller foot print for those of us with small shops. Yet can help with so many metal working projects, BRAVO SIR !
Nice build mate, theres a couple things I think could help, you should fill the anvil with sand or concrete so it’s solid and increase the weight of the die’s and counter weight, also change to smaller drive pulley on the motor (double or triple pulley belts so has better friction) and bigger pulleys to fly wheel so it slows down rotation speed
What is the purpose of the counterweight? Wouldn't it just slow down the hammer on its way down?
@@cheetodorito7403 keeps the thing balanced
@@BESHYSBEES what's the point in it being balanced though? If you had a hammer with two heads and swung it from the middle it wouldn't hit nearly as hard as if it had one head. Is it not the same with a motorized hammer?
@@cheetodorito7403 The point of being balanced is to keep the thing from vibrating the whole floor and taking that energy from getting away from your work piece. It's always a good thing to keep it balanced so top and bottom head an anvil have the same stableness so it's clamping it rather than smacking the top. In other words.. You want it to work like a really quick press with even pressure on both surfaces. More efficent that way and use less power also.
This is peak China, they don't even know what it's used for. They're driving nails into wood with it at the end. They've just seen it and are reproducing it for views on KZhead like so many of these weird asian channels. They are using pillow block bearings for linear motion for gods sakes. They haven't a clue.
Tire Hammer. That's the name of this forging hammer type. I like your version of the spring arms.Looks more creative than the typical spring arms. Nice work. Enjoy your first steps into the forging world.
A Tire Hammer has an actual tire that is driven off of a drive wheel mounted to a pivoting electric motor. This is closer to a Japanese style trip hammer with a slipping belt taking the place of an actual friction clutch.
Its people like you that give us hope in this sick world, by sharing knowledge and for that Sir you will be blessed
An engineering delight.. Well done lads. The highlight for me is the masking tape securing the motor capacitor😂.. Gold! Job well done, and it seems to work brilliantly.. A+
Beautiful work, love it. Only suggestion is move the drive pulley outside the frame so you don't have to disassemble the top end to change a belt.
I am Indian Very good design and hard work
Well done. Darlington, South Carolina USA
A beautiful design. Only thing I would recommend is to partially box in the A-frame (1/8 inch sheet) and weld both pieces to a 1/2 inch base plate so it's hammering on itself not pulling and pushing on the concrete anchors.
*3,175mm sheet; 12,7mm base plate
Hi guys. I love the compact design of your power hammer. I will change some of the dimensions and measurements, but the basic design is awesome. Well done
The pillow block bearings you used as ram guides was an interesting choice.
Those are rotational bearings though right? Would be nice to see how they hold up under reciprocal motion i.e. friction/lubrication/damage to rubber/neoprene absorber material.
Steel on Steel, wear very quickly, seize or break, not to mention stopping and starting by letting the V belt slip, i wonder how many of those they'll go through.
@@hetrodoxly1203 You have to disassemble the machine to replace the belt. that pulley should be at the back and turn the motor 180. Then replacing the belt would be nothing.
@@aculasabacca I never said it would 'be anything' i'm just stating you'll go through a lot of belts and it's just bad engineering.
@@hetrodoxly1203 All I meant was they could have easily made it so belt change was easy. As it is they will tear up belts and it will be a pain in the butt to change them.
Great weekend project!!! The only thing I would do differently is change the style of bearings that you used to guide the hammer, other than that absolutely beautiful work!!!!! 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You definitely earned another subscriber!!!
Excellent nail driver.... Now I just have to figure out how I'm getting it on the roof... 😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤦♂️
Dont be stupid
this is correct
Awesome. I love that you can see the grinder dust on the floor bouncing with every strike.
Dude You know your stuff, It's minimalistic and very well thought out. I wish I would have come up with your idea. Very good work and design.
Copying someone's design and work is paying the highest homage. Go make it. They are showing you how.
To help with the noise and the stand. Fill the base with a mixture of sand and lead shot. If you can't get lead shot. You can make it by melting lead pour it a container with small holes in the bottom. Have the lead dripping down 10 feet ( 3 meters) into a deep bucket of water. Good luck in your projects.
Thanks for the info bro
nice! i like that the dices of the hammer are removable so you can make diferent types for diferent tasks
Sek, what a wonderful forge-hammer you made, I am 70 years old and last 15 Years I do blacksmithing . But in last 5 years my heart is playing up so using hammer by hand is getting very painful. Seeing your power- hammer it gives me hope to be still going to keep my hobby going. How do I go, on making one my selves , can I buy some plans? Hope to have some more years making art in my shed. From Australia Queensland, Leo,- H'
It will be available soon on my patreon site
You are the one who gives me great inspiration to create useful videos for everyone! May the Dharma call you a master of crafting!
Ingenious little power hammer. Just a system I was looking for. The pillow bearing used as ram guide gives me some doubts but all in all a very good and affordable project.
Very nice video and design. Looks a lot more simple then some other videos ive seen, Great job!
Looks like the little giant, I name that one mighty mouse lol. Great job.
Definitely look forward to buy your plans. Looks awesome
Man, I'm glad I saw your build. I had designed a power hammer based on the Little Giant, but I think I'll be redesigning and building one similar to yours. I like the simplicity and portability aspect. Great job to my fellow Filipino!!!
I want to make one like this or big from where can I get parts
WoW WoW très beau marteau, Mr. vous êtes ingénieux
This is great! Awesome engineering. Very impressive!!
the design is great for a forged hammer
That’s exactly what I was thinking.. get your steel hotter and it will work much better! Your top die has a bit of a hard edge that needs some rounding. You’ll get cold shuts with that sharp dent in your steel like that
I don’t think he needs your advice
@@ingleberthumperdink9455 YOU KNOW WHAT!?, NOT EVERYONE IS A MR KNOWITALL LIKE YOU ! AND THE REAL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO SUGESTIONS, AND THE ONE THING I'M SURE HE DOES NOT NEED IS YOU TALKING IN HIS NAME 👅
@@ingleberthumperdink9455 yeah but I do. I wouldn’t have thought about that
@@Heiryuu what you don’t think of could fill a warehouse
man that thing hammers nails about as good as i do.
this is soo simple and sweeeeettt i just love the design it can also be made for people of different hights !!!!!!! Thanks !!!!
Thank you for sharing this project with us. I enjoyed watching you at work and wish that you would put some safety squints on so you too can enjoy making more. Cheers, Billy in Canada
Great build guys, one tip you can do is fill the anvil with sand or anything heavy and dense, it will help it a lot. Good work!
fill the base of the anvil with sand and add some "Ears" to anvil and wrap heavy chains around it like rope, the added weight will absorb shock transmitted to and through the anvil should make anvil more stable when hit. also, Add some angled frame rails on sides from just below anvil to front of frame. watching the operation there is flex in frame going front to back. this means the hammer is moving front to back too, think of both parts vibrating like a tuning fork. very good work. also, you generally want the hammer to just touch the anvil in its resting state. for fine control, mount the motor solid and use a tensioner pully to tighten the belt.
Awesome, one of the best/simplest designs I've seen so far
Great job guy's. Just forward.
Good work as always. We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
needs a longer pedal so that you can stand comfortably when using it. great work.
It needs a completely different mechanism, a machine that runs by letting the V belt slip and then tensioning the motor by pulling it down is really bad Engineering, not to mention steel on steel with the shaft running back and forth through the bearings.
@@deanmartin6052 I'm a retired engineer, machine tool fitter, Maintenance Engineer, i've spent a lifetime building and repairing machines, you get to know what will and won't work, i love seeing people's inventions and ideas, the ones i find incredibly strange are the restoration ones that are basically just cleaning rust off, i've just seen one 'the restoration of a hammer' which was someone polishing a hammer, if that wasn't funny enough the praise heaped on him in the comment section was bizarre, it's probably my age.
@@hetrodoxly1203 its a bad engineering if you have all the resources but you opted that slip belt idea despite..he is in Phils, just using what cheap and alvailable, thats also the reason why he use the pillow block instead of making a more efficient slide block assy, pillow block here in PH that size roughly just $10
@@clifjonejontilano3578 phosphor bronze bushes would be cheaper than bearings, i can think of many ways of starting and stopping the mechanism but why not run it continually like a traditional forge hammer, you could put a switch on a pedal to turn the motor off.
@@hetrodoxly1203 in your country maybe, but here the pillow blocks that size are sold for about 10usd only...regarding the stop and on, its up to him its his project..starting motor from still position eats a lot of energy, phils has one of the most expensive electrical supply innthe world coz we do not have nuclear power plant here..replacing a belt 2 times a year wolud be cheaper...and it is obvious that he design the tool just for hobby and video demos..you can make your better yet cheaper version and upload your video, i could be one of the aplauder✌✌😁
Moc pěkné a výborně zpracované 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very good design and craftsmanship. Keep up the good work.
Muy buen trabajo, sois unos genios. Felicidades.
This is brilliant and works VERY WELL. Great idea and great job. I'd love to try this
You might want to put a little radius on the hammer and anvil parts of the power hammer. That will stop the sharp indents you're getting as they could turn into stress points and break. Apart from that, you've just built the woman of my dreams and she is AWESOME!!! 😊👍👍👍👍
Nice work, like a few others have said the pedal design could use some work but thats little more than fine tuning! First time seen a power hammer used to drive nails!
I'm from Vietnam, nice to know you're passionate about mechanics 👍👍 let's share experiences together🤝
Brilliant!!! Simple yet very effective 👍🏻👌. I think I may build this for my blacksmith workshop (hobby) 😁. Great video keep them coming.
Pretty cool build, I'd be interested to see how it holds up over time.
It won't last very long I've never seen anyone use pillow block bearings in this manor
Excelente trabalho 👏 🇧🇷
Muchas felicitaciones muy bueno quedó hermoso el martillo 👏
That thing is a beast
Nung nakita kong may guard parin ang angle grinder ayun, nagsubscribe na agad ako 👍
GREAT SCOT! It looks like it is Hammer time!
Boom boom boom...cant touch this
simple yet powerfulllll....great job...
Pretty fantastic work, dude! Works great! 😃 In case you're going to make a forge as well, I saw a video from Pesk Makes where he made a small one, the "pig forge", out of a paint tin can, sand and plaster of Paris. I'm not sure, but I guess it would be pretty easy to scale it up. 😃 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks a lot brother
Brp hrganya?
GK tau brapa harga nya,,
Great idea , would like to get the plans but don’t know how to access them . Thanks
Nicely done gentlemen!
grabe mga builds mo idol! ang lalaki! panalo!!
Nice presentation amazing project 👍
nice job bro, seems working so fine, i love ur clutch mecanism
Love this build!
You can see the dust jumping of the floor !! Very nice
Means it's really work and strong..
Finally started to build your hammer. Bought the plans from you about 8 months ago lol. I already had a partially built stand from a scrap yard so making some changes to the design but only since I have most the stand already made for me. Might be harder then tearing it down and starting fresh but I like a challenge haha. Thanks again for the very detailed plans. Well made plans to say the least. Will be using a bit different pulley to lower speeds of the hammer.
Thank you and i hope the project helps you alot.
what size motorcycle shock did you use.
Ah so only patrons get plans!!
Interesting design. Great job
Nice job ! Thanks for sharing ;)
Clever, interesting design that actually works well. Couple of issues though, linear bearings would have been no more expensive than pillow block bearings, and are actually designed for the job, and the strike point is way too low, it should be waist height, not down by your knees.
Hello ... Well done ... You are a giant.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very nicely done, this is something I would use, though I would make the treadle (pedal) a little longer, since I'm pretty tall and the way you have it is way too short for my personal taste
So creative I need one for my next youtube projects
Gostei Muitto Deste Projeto ....Parabéns
Beautiful work men!
Wow great build Sir! Only thing you may want to keep an eye on is the floor that thing is drivng alot of force into the ground as you can see in the video. I think people usually pour a special kind of concrete and really think in areas where thye plan to use a power hammer.
Review the size in detail Mr. I want to try making it. Thank you.
Great work boys! I'd sugest fill up the square tube with betong for less noise and vibration.
What is betong?
Great job. Nice size for making knives.
🌟Хорошая идея для гаража. 💪👍🤝
Formidable viejo !! 👍👏👏👏
I think a guard would be a great addition for safety. I don’t think I’d want my head that close to those arms moving that fast
Nice job on the machine! Thank you for taking time to film and post this video, also thank you for using a filter on the camera while welding.
It needs a longer pedal to run it so you can send more gracefully and control what you're doing
I get your point, but there's a fine line between the pulley slipping and grabbing. A better upgrade would be to have a variable speed motor.. Like from a treadmill or something-- so that you could turn down the speed, and it would run slower, even when you are fully engaged on the pedal; the belts would last longer that way too, since they wouldn't have to slip as much.... a quick and dirty upgrade though: Just take a 2 ft bar (with a hook on the end), lay the hook end on your foot pedal, and let the other end stick out onto the floor--- then you can set your heel on the floor and push on that rod like an accelerator pedal and have a lot more control--- it would also extend the reach (like you said) and give you a finer touch. Easy upgrade that's also easy to throw aside when you don't need it.
I liked how the heavy objects on the ground in the background were moving around. Might need a stronger floor! :)
Waw....great ideas !! This machine usefull tools to makes forge.... Wishing someday i have it !!
That works great, darn good job. I’m gonna build me one 👍thanks for sharing.
Вас совсем запугали ковидлой ! Маску даже в мастерской одеваете , пыли то нет ....жесть . За работу 👍
Excelente trabajo!!!!!!!💯👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow amazing.. I would love to have one.. great work bro
Very good work ❤️❤️
¡Salud! ¡Muy buen trabajo! Gracias por compartirlo.
Muy bueno! Saludos desde Argentina!
Good job done ❤
Excellent job.
Luar biasa....terima kasih atas inspirasinya👍👍👍
Nice and compact. Wouldnt mind making a smaller one. I think You need a bigger wheel/pully.
