Be sure and check out my website. I have several knives available on the site and all of them have a video (or several) showing how they were made!

  • Ergonomics note: If you adjust your hammer's height up a little, it will more closely match your elbow level and keep you from unconsciously lifting your control hand which is what is causing your upward curl.

I really want my community to stick together; I’d hate for everyone to wind up being a bunch of democrats. My neighbors have probably made good money off my many flaud knives I have given them.

  • Could you add a bigger motor in the future and give it more force? This super awesome by the way.

    @StevenMendez@StevenMendez2 ай бұрын
    • The Motor purely gives the motion of Hammer in relation to the Ft/ Lb's it has to lift all in relation to the weight & height of the Hammer..❗ a Larger Motor will purely increase the lifespan of the power Hammer & is cost related in inpunt of Electricity used as well as cost of Motor..❗ Different from an Grinder that has to accommodate Drag..❗ Nice Machine & nifty, I've seen some of the Cjonese Hobbiests ones made & even made by somebody local..⁉️😮 Lightframe dancing around the floor of the Workshop and going like the clappers, yoi cant even place the Workpiece onto the Anvil..⁉️🤔 I've been forbidden from the Makers Shop..told in a round about way that i approach everything like a typical Engineer..❗(only made a few helpfiull suggestions)🤔🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂🤣😅 ( in Design Crit-Class we call it "Constructive Criticism" & and that's what i enjoy about Erick's sessions, we all learn) 👍🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

    • Bernard is correct. The motor is purely for lifting thw 30 lb hammer. The weight of the hammer is what makes it hit harder.

    • Not bigger motor, you Need a Heavier piece of Steel for the Hammer head. I have owned a 25lb and 50lb little giant power hammer 1895 and 1910 models, a Perfect Brand leaf spring bow style hammer, 50lb. And a Central Machine power hammer that was used at General Motors foundry. It had a 150lb Ram. (Hammer Head) I used to Make a lot of Damascus billets/ knives and swords.

  • Hella cool wish I could get that foe’show!! But I was noticing your back section, more specifically the arm connecting the rotator to the leaf spring, it looks like it’s rotation needs to be cleaned up a little because it looks like it’s beating the shit out of it up & down and jerking it forward & back, just thought I’d mention it because it looks like the only potentially weak area.

    @KarKamp@KarKamp2 ай бұрын
    • That wheel is just there to lift the weight of the hammer up. So once it rotates enough the hammer falls. That momentum forces the wheel to spin kinda erratically. Again, the motor just moves the wheel enough to get the hammer raised. Then, the hammer falls and takes the wheel with it.

  • Very cool, I've watched a few vids of other designs and its about the same level of complexity as a drop-hammer type mechanism. But this should hit a little harder than those Best thing about it will probably be the low amount of oiling/grease point and maintenance so it should last a very long time

  • The only difference that I would do. I would make the hammer and anvil to accept different dies, so that way you could achieve the upmost versatility out of it. A rounding, flat, and spreading die would definitely be awesome.
