My man moved a monsterous amount of steel in this vid
This is amazing:) I would spend more than 10 min looking for things I had just put down doing this project:)
Haha thanks! 👌
@@KOPOprojects How many hours did your 'clutch' mechanism survive? Did it fail catastrophically or did you realise what a mistake you had made and replace it before it did?
Brilliant. I have been wanting a small power hammer that was cheap but got the job done for a person starting out forging. Thank you. Love it
Yeah...a cheap power hammer after you spend 20K on the stuff you need to make the hammer! Like buying a million dollar auto fab shop to fabricate a Yugo!!!
This is just beautiful. Engineering at its best.
Nice work, power hammers are great to have in the shop!
Well done. Darlington, South Carolina USA
Pretty extensive build...good job.
Simply remarkable!! Hats off to you for this creation.
Thank you !
You can use a piece of of 1 1/2" or 2" steel wheel. Offset a hole , it will save you the weakness of the tire and less moving parts.Nice build though.
What else can be said apart from great ingenuity, engineering, execution and finally a machine worth its wait in gold and the power hammer is excellent too!!!! 😂🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍awesome stuff 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Hahaha thank you it's really appreciated !
Great job!
Great job
Solid craftsmanship.
Thanks !
Skillz bro!
Great workmanship! 👍👍
Thank you !
Great so much thanks
Utter genius Thank you sir Nice project for me and my dad who wants to learn forging etc during his retirement.
Have fun building !
You solved my problem brother Thanks for sharing Appreciate your work
I'm happy I was able to help you !
You are very talented!
Thank you !

Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Nice thanks !
Great work!
Thank you !
Amazing build
Thank you !
Top-Job, 👌 Top Video 💪
Thank you !
That was a sweet build dude. Well done.
Thank you !
Thank you
Great job. I love how it's edited, and the sound effects are awesome, I can sit and watch videos like this all day. Very satisfying, Well done.
Hahhahah we're glad you like it !
Made that steel look like soft pine!
wow!
Great build!!
Thanks !
DIY? yeah if you have a ton of wonderful tools, experience, and knowledge.
Hi it would be great if you had a list of materials and a drawing I've been looking for quite a while and your hammer convinced me. Small and compact
Yes of course, we actually sell the plans of the hammer ! You can find them in the description of the video. Have fun building!
Very impressive
Thank you !
Great work man!
Thanks !
Very good. Very good.
Thanks !
Nice work!
Thanks !
Enjoyable as always

WOW! This is brilliant. Subbed here.
Thanks !
Very nice work. Well done bro
Thank you !
Had you considered putting grease fittings in all the spots with bushings? Maybe machine the bolts themselves to have through bores and grease fittings? Also, I hope you got a good deal on those locknuts because they aren't doing a whole lot if they're burnt or not engaging the threads enough.
Yes I actually tought about it, it would be a great upgrade idea for the future! Don't worry about the welded locknut it's only what I had on hands when doing the project I didn't need the locking action!
Привет, классно всё сделал чувак!
If i could afford all the tools and materials to make this, i would just buy a power hammer
grate power hammer
Thank you !
Super very super You ar ginius!!!
Thank you !!
nice job bro!

Защитный бы кожух ещё на верхнюю часть. А так прекрасная работа!!!!
Looks dangerous, i love it
Hahahha thank you !

Cool Looking But Expensive For A Beginner Bladesmith
This is awesome. I just need to build a shop and buy $10k in tools and learn how to weld. I will get there.
😅 eventually you'll get there
You welded nylon lock nuts on... The edit makes it seem like you drilled holes with a spotting bit before tapping? I recommend putting a thin piece of copper or aluminum in behind materials you're going to gang drill, it helps soak up the difference in dimensions do everything is clamped pretty evenly. Some of your drill speeds seemed kinda high for the size of bits. Careful not to over heat or dull bits out.
that guy works really fast
This is a great build. I’ve had mine about a year and a half. Not sure how much the plans currently cost, I spent $75 I think, maybe $99? I substituted some parts and spent about $2000 overall.
I'm happy that you're happy with your build! Have fun and work safely !
I like power hammers ⚒️ accouding to my Diy hobbyist jobs jobs traditional attributes continuing in making them... according to my Diy projects moods
Nice job I will use this video as a guide when I make one,, Q> how do you replace the tire and rim if it fails??
Everything is changeable, you can simply unscrew everything and put it back
Hey, could you explain how and why the arms are constructed like that? I understand that the outcome is a ram that has a variable depth so you can work on the metal as it changes size, but I don't understand the mechanical side of it. I barely have the money for the plans, let alone the whole build, but I want to make strides to something little that fits in the hardy hole on my anvil
Honestly it is a bit of a weird mechanic, but the idea is that you compress the spring in the midle so that the arms are in tension and makes the ram "float". As you give more speed to the rotating shaft, you give more energy to the ram going further down and compressing more the spring.When the ram goes up, the spring help the motion by launching the ram upward.The spring also give a whiping motion that increase the force put into the workpiece. If it's a bit more clear. By the way I'm pretty sure I saw someone on youtube tu exactly what you describe for your little power hammer. Good luck with your build !
Nice build! Post some forging project vids with her.
Yes we will sure do !
Ain’t nobody got it in em to recreate this.😂
Excuse me, how many cycles of the motor used in the hammer, is 3000 cycles useful?❤
How has your build held up? What would you redesign if you were to do it again? Thank you.
Honestly everything work pretty well for the moment, but I would surely use a bigger anvil. And I need to also make a guard to cover the moving parts!
I wondered why you used the rubber tire instead of gears...but then I thought you used the tire as a safety measure..and seizure would Allow for slipping..good design
When I saw this i was scrolling through trying to find some simple diy trip hammer video which is what I originally thought this was. but watched it end to end all the same the editing and sound is great how long did it take in real time? Nice trip hammer!
I built it on my spare time during the course of 3-4 month . But thanks I'm happy that tou like it !
Nice hammer. I built a Rusty years ago. The tyre hammer wasn't yet popular in Australia then. I believe it would have more control. An aside - what brand is your oil can?
Thank you ! And for the oil can I believe it's an old sears one !
I managed to did it in 10 minutes but I had to smoke an eight ball of crack to move that fast. 😂
Hey man, awesome job! Out of curiosity, do you (would you) sell a hammer like that? I need a power hammer like that, but I don’t have near the necessary tools (or know how) to build one myself.
Sorry I currently don't have the time to do so but thank you verry much for your interest !
@@KOPOprojects, no worries, brother. Thank you for the response. If you don’t mind my asking, were you to have the time at some point, what do you think the price would be for you to make that hammer? Also, do you know where I could find a decent little power hammer? I’m a disabled veteran and I’m home basically 100% of the time and want to start forging so I have something to do, but due to injuries and wounds sustained in combat I’m not really able to swing a hammer for long periods of time. So due to that fact, I basically have to have a power hammer or a press to move the majority of the metal. Thank you again for your time. You’re clearly an amazing craftsman. Keep up the good work, my friend.
First, thank you very much for taking the time to compliment the craftsmanship ! Unfortunately I don't see alot of time in a near future (4 years or so) so I don't think that me making you a hammer is an option even tho I would really have enjoyed building an other one. If you want to buy a hammer, I know that Big blue hammer makes pneumatic ones there's also anyang power hammer who makes them and I also believe that coal ironworks sell some forging press. I hope this answer well your question !
Have you got a plan of how you built it bro..? Thanks
Yes ! We actually have the plans for sale you can get them with the link in the video description !
Great job, what is the power of the engine?
2hp !
Nice! About how much in material did this run you, or did you already have the stock laying around?
It was about 2000$ two years ago !
I love it. I want to make one. Do you have the plans my friend.?
Yes, we actually sell them on etsy. You can buy them on he link here: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1339926483/power-hammer-plans-dxf-files-included?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=kopo&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&dd=1&content_source=6703c23a1600b8d632df02ff89778badd8e46581%253A1339926483&organic_search_click=1
What was the wash you used and the paint for the stand?
Ifor the cleaner it's a generic store bought degreaser for the paint I used some Tremclad paint !
What's the black material you're using for your friction slide?
It's uhmwpe. It's a plastic used for bearing surfaces and it's much cheaper than teflon
Great build. KOPO do you sell the plans for this?
Yes, we actually sell plans on our etsy shop! You can find the link in the video description !
Bonjour super taf.votre marteau pillon ,il est incroyable ,Vender vous les plans à tous hasard je recherche à en faire un.mais en France pas de plans disponible. Je vous remercie pour votre réponse. Bien cordialement Joachim
Merci beaucoup! Et oui c'est votre jour de chance nous vendons une version des plans dans la description de la video !
Okay silly people!!! He really means that he compacted this into 10 minutes!!
Nice job what is a ruff price for the cost of the build
It will cost you about 2000$ to build everything from scratch !
Do you have cad drawings and a parts list?
Yes ! We actually sell the plans on our etsy shop you can get the with the link in the video description !
I see that you have a wood saw with a diablo blade, how well does that work for you, I've been looking at evolution saws but they're so expensive. Have you had any issues or is it probably just as good?
It's actually an evolution miter saw designed to cut steel so the motor run at slower rpm, I would'nt recomend using a wood miter saw with a diablo blade... you will overheat the blade. But the evolution miter saw works well and if I remember correctly is about 350 or 400$!
@@KOPOprojects Right, but that's for the multi-material saw, I need to cut through 1/4 to 1in solid steel rod regularly, and it says 1/4 is all it can do. Can it do better than that? The reason I said expensive was that I was looking at the meant-for-steel line of their products. I'd be ecstatic if I didn't need that! If all they need is a blade for steel or nothing at all, then that would be great.
Most of the time I work with sqare tube so I rarely have to work with big steel stock like that but I know that steel band saw are really good for that and they are pretty easy to find used !
@@KOPOprojects Ok, well thanks for the help!
@@selwynhackett5471 I have the Evolution S380CPS and have cut round and square (steel) bar in the 1" range. You need to be mindful of how the blade is performing, AND have a good blade for the material. Otherwise, it cuts it. I've also used it to cut larger materials as well (solid and tube) without issue. MUCH better than using an abrasive blade saw. No dust produced is just one of the benefits. DO inspect the carbide teeth on the blade installed periodically and you'll get great performance from it.
i think i can do this is my mom's garage.
Cool video, I subbed. Would like a little bit of commentary, though. This was almost too relaxing after a long day at work
Hahaha we actually have a full 3 part series where we comment the whole process of making the machine if you're interested
Is there something to limit rpm if you hold down full throttle?
The hammer is designed with the drive wheel ratio to not go over 300 rpm on the main shaft
what rpm is the electric motor your using?
3450 RPM !
Beautiful Dude, did you have a blueprint to work from?
I actually made all the plans myself !
So how many months did that take to build because that’s a awesome build my dude
It probably took me 2 1/2 months building it in my spare time ! But thank I'm glad you like it !
@@KOPOprojects it is an awesome build you did some serious precision work I am very impressed
Any plans or drawings?
Yes ! We actually sell the plans on our etsy shop! You can fin the link in the video description
How many tons is the blow of the hammer?
It's hard to say but it's a 50 pounds weight swinging 300 time per minute !
Nice build but I don't have the tools to make it. And at the price of steel in my area I think I would be able to just buy a hammer .although it would be much more satisfying to make my own.
Would of been nice to showed it
God I wish I had those skills
With practice en patience you can do pretty much anything !
Think I can build one :!)(;!!!
Bro..I rarely comment on anythingat all...But..I've just gotta ask....Are you a demon? ok, cyborg? How'd you unlock the "God mode" on more than a few technical trades ?? 🤣 Nah, in all seriousness though, the versatility of method, and the mastery of such an array of technical skill....Mad impressed my friend, But the proficiency with which you wielded these skills literally gave me chills. I thought i was halfway decent as a jack of all diy-or-dier in the shop...turns out my mickey mouse skillset is woefully underdeveloped lmao. Thanks for documenting this and sharing it. Pretty sure you're not human though 😆 lol take care my dude!
Thanks I appreciate !!
Dang good work. For anyone unable to afford the tools and drill bits to make this themselves. Step drills are cheap alternative and also using a masonry bit in a drill press to burn through steel rather than slowly drill through it with cheaper bits. I've never been able to drill so quickly through thick or harder steel than I have with a masonry bit in a drill press. Once the piece and bit start to glow orange and it starts pushing through the piece it goes really quickly. The spinning sliver of glowing orange swarf gets a bit scary as it grows but as long as you're wearing at least goggles if not a full face mask and thick sleeved clothes it's ok. On a side note once while making a knife using an angle grinder I was so focused on what I was doing I didn't notice that my knit workgloves and hoodie I was wearing had gotten huge melt holes in them. Lol. Oh and safety tip NEVER wear any loose clothing while using anything spinning. I luckily found out this tip using a belt sander and wearing a loose t-shirt. Thankfully the Sander got pulled out of my hand enough I let go of the trigger and the shirt had enough mass to choke up the spinning as it climbed it's way towards my now exposed belly. Had it been my huge Makita angle grinder or my heavy duty Jet drill press I wouldn't have been so lucky and with the angle grinder not only would its speed not slowed by the time it ran out of short and reached skin without power the switch was stiff and took a few seconds to turn off. After the belt sander and until I replaced the switch I would literally tie the cord to my boot and had the power bar screwed to the wall near my foot so in an emergency all i had to do was move my foot away from the wall and it would unplug. It was an amazing grinder though. Double the size of a normal one and with a 5" grinding disk you could feel the gyroscopic effect pulling it from side to side a bit depending on tilt. It would eat hardened steel fast and with a cutting wheel slice through anything way faster than my other grinders could. Makita makes the best tools these days hands down.
If you have a decent drill sharpener (Drill Doctor or better) with a diamond wheel, you can regrind masonry drills to metal cutting angles. Proper setup takes a bit of "Kentucky windage" with the Drill Doctor, because the stop isn't set up for use with the brazed on carbides which interrupt the flute used as the reference. However, if you set it up properly (a bit of trial and error), you can get a nice symmetrical grind on the carbides. With a larger diameter bit, it may useful to swap to the coarse grit drum to get close, then back to the fine grit drum to finish the grind. With a proper tool and cutter grinder or a Deckel SO/SOE (or knockoff) regrinding should be cake. I've done this several times to drill out stubborn wheel studs and the like. A Cole drill has been invaluable for such foolishness, but a mag drill or blacksmith's post drill, even a brace with chain drill, will also work, too.
DIY ! Lathe Milling Drill press MIG I think you over estimating the avg DIY person.
Hahahaha everything is designed so that you don't need a lathe or a milling but to do a project that big you still need a few tools 😅
You know I expected it to be jank but it looks pretty well done
Thanks !
What hp motor did you use?
It's a 2 Hp electric motor !
