How is it possible that this man doesn't have a million subscribers yet? His videos are so well made and he should have so many more subscribers than 95k.
I say that every video he releases. He deserves a lot more subscribers than he has. His videos are like a hot cup of coffee on a cold winters day.
100% agree, it always surprises me how little subs he has.
the recent sponsorships and patreon must help
Well Gridlessness , is a youtube channel just like him (in a way) i call them secret of youtube . You can check J mantzel too , another great secret . . Those people have found happiness , i'm even more surprise they have not million of sub ...
Man o man do I love watching people take old stuff apart and fix it!
Dude, everyone loves a restoration video - keep going!
Very excited to see part 2. I’d love to hear what specifically needs to be done to fix this properly. I’d love to see blueprints or the patent filings on this machine. I think a ‘several pert series hammer fix’ would be a perfect addition to your channel. A group effort fix, say with abom79 and a few other guys would be so cool. Good luck Canuck!
I second this motion.
When i see power hammer i click "like" before video even starts. What's funny this morning i was watching "titanium hammer" video and i waas about to ask what about second power hammer, standing in background. Boom! Prayers listened :D
My other favorite blacksmithing KZheadr Alec Steele had a few hammers the he ended up taking part in fixing as well. I feel like to be able to get the experience of using these really old machines you need to be willing to spend a lot of money to just get the thing then you most likely need to be willing to up to a full rebuild. It's kind of a shame but it also presents a unique opportunity to see them from the inside and really learn how they work. Silver linings and all that. This is fascinating stuff to me. I definitely want to see how you handle it if you have the time for it.
Ah man. Love your content, been watching you for a while, keep doing what you're doing 🙏🏼
Fascinating to see the guts of a 3B! Thank you for sharing! Looks like you will get most bang for your buck with new steel ram cylinder head rings instead of those worn out brassies. Cushing plug, and cushing plug bushings look like they might need replaced too. They kind of look after market, not that I’ve seen many. I wonder why such irregular wear? Wonder if it was a result of using combination dies for most of its life? I use rubber packing rings between leather for a tighter seal on my 2B. I need it because I’m at 8,500 ft and cannot afford to lose any air. Mark Kraus is a legend! Pay him handsomely and treat him well. Such an asset to the blacksmithing community! He’s helped me a bunch with my blown-up 2B.
Informative stuff. Maybe for us laypersons draw a rough mechanical drawing explaining the dynamics of hammer. And how you will fix.
Definitely “Attack this now”!!! Love a good restoration series. Keep up the good work
Great video but as a binge watcher.. "Part 1".. why you do this?!? Now I NEED "Part 2"... like yesterday! :) Keep up the good work.
A restoration project is super cool. It will be nice to see an old machine have new life. Good luck!
Martin is always wearing those shades, his own unique way of seeing. Its Martin-sight 😁
Man great videos, keep doing what you are doing. 👍

What a wonderful day! Your followers are always happy to see monsters!
Can’t wait to see it running
I'm excited to see the repair process
Pretty cool seeing these old machines apart.
Suuuuuper interesting! Best of luck getting this beautiful machine fixed. Really looking forward to part 2. Thank you for the great content!
Best of luck mate . If any one can fix it Tim the tool man can. :)
I would like to see you do a lot of the rebuild. I love rebuild videos
cant wait for part 2
Can't tell if you read these comments, but great work as always and quite an impressive amount of it! After the heart crushing conclusion of Will's 9 part power hammer restoration series, I was a bit hesitant but frankly with your level of skill an experience and you're Dad's helping out and overseeing the whole thing ;) I can't help but see ultimate power hammer victory!
Perservere! Having a hammer like that is an amazing blessing, but it is also a great commitment. Thanks for sharing your journey. I hope to find a small hammer one day that fits my skill and ability.
Hopefully we get to see part 2 soon awesome channel
TD, enjoy your content man. Your enthusiasm for what you do comes across even when your fighting with your tools or metal. And you seem like a really good fella too. Hope you’re able to source or make what you need for the hammer.
I'm definitely looking farward to the next video as I love seeing how these machines are put together. Hopefully it isn't going to be to long until you have her running again 😊👍
Interesting project you've got yourself into!
Part of me prefers restoration vids especially when it's on the tools you use.. also great to keep this wonderful machinery working for the future generations.. well worth your time/money as I'm sure it's a great investment if nothing else.. keep up the great work . Shout out to dad, he looks like he's been getting video appearance tips from Martin 😜
That’s my dream hammer. Good luck and hope to see more videos on it
When are we going to be able to get that sweet hoodie you were wearing at the end of the video? I love that design
Nice to have that expert on speed dial for this adventure. You'll get a another lifetime of work out of it once she's mended. ✌
Can't wait for Pt2 this is going to be a exciting rebuild.
Killer production quality as always!
Sounds like some bronze casting coming up. It would be a walk in the park .
Part 2 was amazing hope it works for many more year!
Yay.. Mark Krause 👊 Oh, have to get him a video of my ironworker... poor guy 😐 helps so many people 🙌
G'Luck Bud, you got the Motor to Goe'r.
Keep up the great work, excited for this project
Can’t wait for the 100k special and part 2 of this video
We’re all waiting for the next video ; you’ve got a lot of ahead !
Very interesting good luck on the hammer
Very nice video this week Tim. Can't wait to see ur next video in this new series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Tim. Forge On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Hi Dad! And this episode was SO GREAT!
I’d love to see you fix this machine in a couple part series. I’d even be interested in contributing some money so you can get the job done right like I know you can. Again I think your a very gifted blacksmith. One of the best on KZhead. Message me if I can contribute in anyway.
Very intreasting! Looking forward to seeing how it gose
I am really looking forward to seeing this through!
The pin that is missing from the top die is called a “key” the masseys tend to have a big in the centre of the die 🙂 can’t wait for part 2
Good deal all repairable.
It looks like the guy you bought it from started digging into it figured it was too much work for him & slapped it back together then sold it to the first sucker he could find.
This is interesting yes for sure !
Rock on Tim! Keep up the awesome work. I hope to set our 2B and 3Bs on new foundations this summer
Hey Timothy, thank you so much for all that you do, i very much enjoy your video's much love
I am a new subscriber, I love a power hammer tear down. There fascinating bits of kit.
Huge inspiration to me sir!
I'm a manual machinest. I would love to work on stuff like this.
Sorry to see so many issues with your hammer. Good luck.
Geez that sucks that the hammer is that broken man... but, gives you more awesome content to put up too :D
Fucking love this content, hopefully one day i'll have my own so this just helps keep that dream alive.
Keep up the good work!!
Can’t wait to see your next video well done TD.👍🇬🇧🤘🍺
Great vid😀
Keep it up!!!!
YES👍🏼
I thought the sketchy person was Martin 😂
AWESOME!....thanks 4 video. be kind.
G'day Tims dad from Perth Western Australia and also my sister just came back from Canada not too long ago so yeah
I know it would be a lot of work but I sure would love to see this fully restored to like-new condition
great video! :)
My old beche has the exact same style of hammer piston. Hopefully that old hammer will run again someday.
very interesting
Hi dad! 👋
Leaving this comment before watching the video. Just thinking, it is now Springtime which means allergies are coming. Instead of rebuilding it, did you first try using Nazel Spray? 🤣
Watching videos like this just makes you realise how many people just do NOT take care of their tools, it's sad to see.
Tim needs an engine hoist at this point...
Hi Dad!
Hope that you will fix it soon...!
yup, very interesting
Merci bien !
You should hit up Will Stelter for what-not-to-do advice.
Hi dad!
Hi Dad
I think that now that you have it apart that you should take your time and get it done. This way you'll be able to use it and it won't be a real estate sucker.
Didn’t have time to work on it cause he had so many other projects that didn’t need done lol. Cheers
I am sure it had a small knock that went away after it warmed up I think the last nail in the coffin was the move a big piece of equipment like that does not like to be moved
@6:12 Hi Dad
Hi Dad 👋
Hi dad ✋
Love from india
Hope you got a deal on it
Hi dad :)
Hi Tims’ Dad!
Cool
Any Dutchies? 🇳🇱🧡
Nee
@@nuallanlampe haha
good luck
KZhead: mhhh, a new video about a large broken tool, I wonder who will like this? Me: LET ME HAVE IT NOWWWWW
🤩
It's all about the oil. It's not shimmed it is the upper cylinder versus the lower cylinder and if the two are not exactly in line you wear that ram little crooked you got real trouble as there are no rings and you don't want them the trick is a whole handful of inexpensive 12 in long feeler gauges. If you place about six of them around the smaller diameter whatever will go in equally all the way around you wanted to snug as you can get it you do the same at the top the larger diameter with the bolts loose on the cylinder and put about eight shims in there whatever equally goes all the way around to snug as can be then you tighten the bolts the other thing you have to watch out for if the guides on either side that you're not pushing the ram one way or the other everything is equal space all the way around the machine is absolutely is levels can be relative to the ram. The key you cannot impart a side Force on the ram or it will make trouble. You must also make sure that you maintain good radiuses and good surfaces in the die pockets you have to scrape them by hand to basic perfection if you do not you will make trouble the worst thing that can happen is you can break that lip off the ram if it's cracking you need to start saving your money buy a new piece of ductal iron to make a new ram with you can imagine the work these machines were made with such tolerances it's hard to imagine by today's standards I put a man's ram up in my machine and you have four diameters that basically must run perfect and there is no oversized so you can't just start cutting anything really have to take your time make sure everything is perfect and if it is not you must only give it a little loving kisses I think on his he was out maybe a few thousands between the two boars And it required maybe a thousands and a half of massaging on the outside diameter of what you see as the ram obviously this takes a lot of abuse from the abrasive atmosphere a forge exists in. In addition to the strikes it receives from loading dies and material. I was making some H13 dies for him here recently. Allot about that machine from a machinist perspective I can tell you if you wish I'm easy to find 928-499-7259
