To make my wooden clock tower I needed to make some framing pins to hold it together before the final fitting of wooden pegs. I need to make about 20 of them and after years of using hammers[usually a 7 pound hammer with a short handle as a club hammer] my wrists and elbows are starting to get worn out. So I decided to build a power hammer . Searching tinternet cme up with this site https://www.kensiron.com/kz100 Brought some steel and started making this Steel plate are 6 feet by 30 inches and 12mm thick, anvil is 12 inch by 1 inch plates by 24 inches long and will be bolted into a frame with the idea that they can be removed to make it lighter to move . Base plate is a piece of 30mm thick plate The hammer will be a 1metre length of 65 by 50 bms sliding in oil impregnated nylon and operated by a 60mm bore hydraulic ram running on compressed air |

The link works for me now (about 5:50 pm pacific standard time). Quite a project Smiffy. Please keep us informed as it is quite interesting. Thanks, John. |

Yes. Quite the project. Since swmbo is smithing now, the idea of a power hammer interests me. I will be watching this... may even attempt in a year or so. Eric |

Eric just make sure she can't cut the leg irons off and chase you round the workshop :lol: Really fancy a forge but have actually reached the limits of what I can accommodate ( and what SWMBO will tolerate !) :( Looking forward to seeing this one progress smiffy |
