I recently had an opportunity to work for 2 weeks in a shop with 2 english wheels, a power shrinker/stretcher and a planishing hammer. The man gave me a top wheel to begin making my own englisg wheel so I will have to get the lower wheels to complete it and your project was a tremendous help. I had wondered if an air hammer could work for that and you proved it for me. Bless your soul Bob.
Bob, I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your clever sense of humor and your brilliant mechanical knowledge. You amaze me and I have been around mechanical things since I was very very young. I also was blessed with a sense of how things worked and fit together. I used to take apart really complicated things like an alarm clock when I was only 3 or 4 years old. I have always enjoyed the workings of complicated things. You bring out the joy of that aspect in me. It is so wonderful to watch a person who understands these things and demonstrates that knowledge in the way you see a challenge and meet it with clever resolve. I will continue to watch your very fun and entertaining videos. Thanks so much.
Unless you scrounge your metal, their price ain't wrong. I like yours better and wish I had the tools and my life as a do over but then don't we all. I did have fun and was I to see this, would make my version of it! It's a must have tool if you a fabricator. Nice bike build, not all bike need a hundred plus cc engine. I like a bike with enough torque to get you out of and not into trouble. Your seems to address all of that. Good video
I can't help to say this. Baaawwwb u are a hero to me...I grew up in Wichita KS. Joined military 86_90uss Enterprise..heavy diesel machaic I overhaul train engines
bob what can say . you are blessed . on your final days and hope thats longtime to come . you going to missed . everyday thrown away items . and you can turn them into something amazing
Man Mister Bob you are unstoppable... That is the coolest air hammer I have ever seen !!! Great job on building that and on the shell... that looks real good...
Nice job Bob, thanks for showing us how you did it. Lot more pride in making it yourself than buying it. Hope you and Red stay safe with the storm coming...
You never cease to amaze me rat rod with your know-how and your ingenuity, I drop whatever I'm watching or whatever I'm doing soon as I get a notification that your videos out so I can come and watch it keep doing what you doing
More time than MONEY. Yea. I hear yea Bob. Nice job on your new toy. You are quite the engineer. You even made it so you could sit in your thinking chair and think about what you are doing. 👍 They might as well put them on sale for $10.00 They still don't have any LOL. Wonder why they even advertise that. I can see it now, not one flat surface to be seen on the next RAT. Very nice work Bob. Thanks for sharing.....🐭👍
Looks good bob. You get that steering wheel on your bead roller it needs to be on as if it were up side down in the car so it will be closer to you. Easy to turn and watch what your doing.
Bob, I just watch the video. If you have a problem with those dies you made deforming get yourself some (Hard faceing rod) nice job stay dry hope you weather the storm, stay safe.
funny thing about harbor freight is if you find something you want they ship it to you very cheap. I bought one of the stand up blast cabinets and they shipped it to me for 6 bucks and it was on sale cheaper than I could get it for in stores.
Always thought I would like to have one and learn how to use one . I beat the crap out of metal with my different size hammers that I can barely pick up my dinner fork ...homemade all the way 👍
I've had these parts to build one for months and dreaded the build but glad I did build it. Works better and faster than I thought it would. Like the plasma Cutter ... my first time to use one and it's AWESOME!
Bad ass Bob!!! May have to build me one too!!! You could always harden those dies with your blue wrench!!! Don't worry about that storm, it ain't much!!! They've been trying to scare everyone here in Houston about it for over a week now!!! Ride it out and have a good time!!! Keep Rocking it out Bob and Red!!!
Bob, you should look into case hardening. I've seen it done with a torch and a product called Casenite. Makes for a tough hard surface. Another great build Bob you never cease to amaze.
Just flame harden your dies you made they will work great its not hard to do get a coffee can fill it with old oil heat the dies up till there really hot glowing red and drop them in the oil do it outside the oil will probably catch on fire have something around to set on the can to put the fire out 👍👍👍
Hey Bob! That's a pretty cool setup. I was just telling my family you are down south near the storm and wondered how it was going to affect you and up popped your video. Glad to see your not right in its path. Can't wait to see the rat bike when its finished.
Wow! Bob, you never cease to amaze me with your solutions! That's an awesome piece of equipment. If you're not careful, folks will be lining up to buy your creations!
you prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Ares Spencer thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Looks like the Alien in the movie by the same name. Excellent work Bob. Would it be better to replace the Tee handle adjuster with a solid rubber tread wheel from a lawnmower or small cart ? Less chance of banging your shin. And it might allow for an easier grip when fine tuning clamp pressure. Mount low enough you could adjust with your foot. Really enjoy your projects. Keep on keepin' on. Best to you and yours.
Put a bigger piece of pipe in the top frame . Like a 3 " pipe maybe 14" long . Weld a pipe plug fitting n make the dummy tank hinge over near goose neck. Tank will be smooth with no filler cap. Clean look
Looks great, can always buy a bar of 4140 or some sort of tool steel to make better dies out of, if/when you need them. You obviously won't have much trouble putting an English wheel together from scratch, just got to stump up for the wheels.
Yes ... or I can just use some high tensile rods and build up the top of the dies with that then heat treat it! I have metal to build the English Wheel too!
Why don't you harden those dies....Heat them up red hot then throw the in oil...That way thay wont bend up .....THANKS BOB take care my friend...! PS that's some mighty fine weld you done on that tool you made...WOW...!
Cool 😎 build there Bob. Great job on making the dies they look good. And looks like it is working well. That finish on the mock up tank side looks good. 👍😎
Hit those fittings up in the torch Bob and dunkleman oil just got to get them till they're orange and then there's some hardening powder too I forgot I heard him to punch that I made on the lids and it's still sharp after all
I thought about that but they're still hanging in there. I also bought some hardened wire for my welder that will make it like tool steel should I need it.
Man you make me sick! I couldn't have built that if my life depended it. I look forward to your instructional videos and I'm always amazed at your talent and ingenuity! So keep'em coming Bob and please tell Red I said Hey
Nice Build! I think I might make one myself and film it since I have a lot of time off because of Covid-19. I'm going to make my own dies on the lathe as well, but I'm going to use a torch to get them red hot and quench them in oil to harden them. May work may not, we'll see!!!
My dies are made from mild steel. No problem yet but if I do see that they need hardening I'm gonna add some metal with my MIG welder which has harder wire than mild steel and may even take heat treating better.
Thats cool I might have to try that. I got a few air hammers already. lol I got me some of those LED lights like you got and they worked out real good. Im gonna get some more of them. I cant wait to see that rat bike finished its gonna be great. I know its a pain in tha tha rear but we sure could use more videos. lol
((😳)) where are you at Rat Rod Bob ??? You have become famous TH-cam celebrity now .. we’re hopping that you and Red don’t get like all the other famous celebrity’s become a recluse .. you’ve done started something now a reality hit Rat Rod Bob show .. come back you know we all appreciate ya 👍🏻
((😳)) Hiatus” what is that ? See there, your already took to much time off.. already learning that fancy talk from somewhere.. I’d be willing to bet ya’ Red’s already talk ya’ up in getting his Owen recliner chair and setting front the Boobtube learning all that !.. lol 🧙🏿♂️📺 smh
See if there's a way to take out the pneumatic hammer and put a English wheel in there instead. Make a two-fer out of the same tool they are pretty close in design.
Hi bob just looking at the filter you made in 2012 for the compressor just like to know what size compressor do you run for the workshop and do you loose any pressure in the pic pipe thanks uncle 👌🏼🇦🇺🇺🇸☝🏼️
What happened Bob is it to friggen hot to make a video, Man it's been a minute now! Want to see the 47 truck finished and the rat bike having with drawls.
Man yer one talented man I love what yer doin to keep busy my happy place is my medicine grow but I always say do what you love doin thanks from Sean in Vt

Bob thats slicker than minnows peter
Hey I'm with you Bob, I like doing it myself as well. Preciate You!
Damn Bob, that's some ingenuity if I ever saw some.....FANTASTIC!!! Great idea and good thinking.....

Even 2 years later it's still a cool tool, I really need to build myself one
Don't use it much but when you need it, you need it!
You're a genius in my book.
Cant wait for next show, take care big fella.

great job thans for sharing.
You never cease to amaze. Great build, thanks for sharing.
Next Project...Bobs Time Machine! Bob and ole Red travel through time and space. 😆 Good job Bob!
You talking about a still?
Unless you scrounge your metal, their price ain't wrong. I like yours better and wish I had the tools and my life as a do over but then don't we all.

Not only the price of metal ... I spent two days labor on this thing. But I think I ended up with a better build than that Harbor Freight one!
looks fantastic....
Very cool 😎 👍🏼
That Looks like a Factory Built Tool to Me Bob,,, You're Extremely Blessed n Amazing Brother, You n Red have a Blessed wknd Brother.
I can't help to say this. Baaawwwb u are a hero to me...I grew up in Wichita KS. Joined military 86_90uss Enterprise..heavy diesel machaic
I overhaul train engines
Really nice! You should sell this as kit - I will be first in line.
bob what can say . you are blessed . on your final days and hope thats longtime to come . you going to missed . everyday thrown away items . and you can turn them into something amazing
Man Mister Bob you are unstoppable... That is the coolest air hammer I have ever seen !!! Great job on building that and on the shell... that looks real good...
You done good with that one Bob and you know the warranty's good.
Yep ... limited lifetime warranty. Limited to how long I have left.
Nothing better than building your tools and equipment learn alot more and it's hell of a lot cheaper
Nicely done thanks for sharing
That hammer came out great. You can really shape some metal quick with that.
Should have built one years ago. Works better than I thought it would.
That looks perfect to me. Seems to have the right amount of detailing you need for your custom parts. I like what you have there!
You are very skillful Man.. I really enjoy watching and learning from you.. God bless you.
Uncle bob the legend new slogan" it's not how you do it's the end result."🇦🇺🇺🇸👌🏼👍🏽🙏🏾
Nice job Bob, thanks for showing us how you did it. Lot more pride in making it yourself than buying it. Hope you and Red stay safe with the storm coming...
Another awesome tool made by Bob!
Awsome
That hammer looks awesome. Looks like a scorpion to me that has its stinger ready to fight. Making me want to build one now.
I hear ya ... I knew it looked like something but couldn't put my finger on it! Thanks for pointing that out!
You never cease to amaze me rat rod with your know-how and your ingenuity, I drop whatever I'm watching or whatever I'm doing soon as I get a notification that your videos out so I can come and watch it keep doing what you doing
Glad to have ya!
Another great video Bob, keep on keep'n on , you're encouraging others to do what they can with what they have !!!
Where there's a will...and a mill...there's a way 😁 awesome stuff Bob!!
Yep .. the dies would have been tough to make without a lathe!
More time than MONEY. Yea. I hear yea Bob. Nice job on your new toy. You are quite the engineer. You even made it so you could sit in your thinking chair and think about what you are doing. 👍 They might as well put them on sale for $10.00 They still don't have any LOL. Wonder why they even advertise that. I can see it now, not one flat surface to be seen on the next RAT. Very nice work Bob. Thanks for sharing.....🐭👍
Aaaahh ... you noticed I could work from my thinking chair. That was the best part of the design right there. LOL
@@RatRodBobBuilds Well I would have done the same thing. My But has more muscle than my legs. Ha Ha
looks like it works just fine. Keep em coming!
That's awesome bob you are one hell of a fabricator
Pretty cool
Looks good bob. You get that steering wheel on your bead roller it needs to be on as if it were up side down in the car so it will be closer to you. Easy to turn and watch what your doing.
Bob, I just watch the video. If you have a problem with those dies you made deforming get yourself some
(Hard faceing rod) nice job stay dry hope you weather the storm, stay safe.
Yep .... that's what I will do soon!
first!!......so what you done went and done again was totally amaze me again with your expert knowledge and fabricated up something awesome.
Very cool...!!
Really cool Bawb
you are amazing!
Hi uncle bob where are you need to see a new vidio 🇦🇺😉👍🏽🇺🇸
That looks like it worked out pretty good.. Was that just a regular air Air hammer
Beautiful job on building it.. u got it..
If you can’t find it, build it! I wish I had half the skill. Nice job!
If you can visualize it ... you can build it!
funny thing about harbor freight is if you find something you want they ship it to you very cheap. I bought one of the stand up blast cabinets and they shipped it to me for 6 bucks and it was on sale cheaper than I could get it for in stores.
So cool...if you need a tool...design and build it.
Always thought I would like to have one and learn how to use one . I beat the crap out of metal with my different size hammers that I can barely pick up my dinner fork ...homemade all the way 👍

Should be a lot easier to build than that shop heater. Yea ... I've been riding the storms out all my life. This one ain't nothing but a lot of rain!
There you go again Bob......makingi Awesome too;ls everyone can make n use,,,,,:)
Bob, you should look into case hardening. I've seen it done with a torch and a product called Casenite. Makes for a tough hard surface. Another great build Bob you never cease to amaze.
Hy guys,, hadir kawan aku nyimak ,suport bacek y guys,,☺☺💖💖💖👍👍🙋🙋🙋🙋
Really nice build, Bob.
You're a man of many talents
Looks great look forward to your videos
Just flame harden your dies you made they will work great its not hard to do get a coffee can fill it with old oil heat the dies up till there really hot glowing red and drop them in the oil do it outside the oil will probably catch on fire have something around to set on the can to put the fire out 👍👍👍
For what he's doing it will be fine
Not offended 👍👍
Very nice job . Best regards.
Nice planisching hammer
I get my at princessauto in Ottawa (canada) was cheap
Like someone said it don’t matter what you build we will watch it. Great job and use hearing protection with that thing huh.....
Yep ... need ear plugs to say the least!
That was a great job on the hammer. Another great video 👍
Looks great Bob and it works! You can't beat that.
Yep .. and it works really well!
Muito top , Leandro torneiro tá fazendo uma igual
good job making that tool, looks good and works good!!!
What ya doing today Baaawwwbb
I liked the hammer miss Charlet

Nice tool hand made sweet
nice
About to go into withdrawal man! We need Ratty Bob and Ratty Red more videos brother!!
Stay tuned!

And ... when you treat them in oil that way .. they have less tendency to rust!
Cool 😎 build there Bob. Great job on making the dies they look good. And looks like it is working well. That finish on the mock up tank side looks good. 👍😎
Yep .. and I have enough of that 1-1/4" shaft to make dies for days! The price of those things online is a rip off!
You are right a lot of that stuff is prices way to high. 👍😎
Hit those fittings up in the torch Bob and dunkleman oil just got to get them till they're orange and then there's some hardening powder too I forgot I heard him to punch that I made on the lids and it's still sharp after all

I hear ya .... life gets in the way of life sometimes!
Make a rat rod mower to cut the grass real posh like bob ,,!
Smart to use an air hammer like that so you can swap it out easily if it breaks, probably a different set up in a factory produced unit... no ?
((😳)) where are you at Rat Rod Bob ??? You have become famous TH-cam celebrity now .. we’re hopping that you and Red don’t get like all the other famous celebrity’s become a recluse .. you’ve done started something now a reality hit Rat Rod Bob show .. come back you know we all appreciate ya 👍🏻
I'm on summer hiatus!
((😳)) Hiatus” what is that ? See there, your already took to much time off.. already learning that fancy talk from somewhere.. I’d be willing to bet ya’ Red’s already talk ya’ up in getting his Owen recliner chair and setting front the Boobtube learning all that !..
lol 🧙🏿♂️📺 smh
Great job. Have you thought about hardening and tempering the dies? Even if it is only mild steel it will toughen up and last longer.
Yes .... and I will do that soon!
You could harden the hammers by heat treating don't you think?
Yes I can and will if need be!
hey boss , whats the adjustment of the knob close to the air supply of the hammer (1-4 i guess?) and how many psi do you feed the hammer?
Well there you go .
I wonder what it would feel like on your finger.....?😫
See if there's a way to take out the pneumatic hammer and put a English wheel in there instead. Make a two-fer out of the same tool they are pretty close in design.
Hi bob just looking at the filter you made in 2012 for the compressor just like to know what size compressor do you run for the workshop and do you loose any pressure in the pic pipe thanks uncle 👌🏼🇦🇺🇺🇸☝🏼️
I have a big a$$ Ingersol Rand 80 gallon 175 PSI compressor but I turned it down to 150 PSI. I only run 60 PSI to the filter.
What happened Bob is it to friggen hot to make a video, Man it's been a minute now! Want to see the 47 truck finished and the rat bike having with drawls.
Working on the Truck now ... give me another minute!
Bob don't you know that uncut Tie Rap (a.k.a. Zip Tie) is a safety issue on the trigger of the air hammer ? Lol.
Good build by the way.
Ha ... I hear ya .... I figured I wasn't wearing ear protection so why cut the zip tie!
@@RatRodBobBuilds Remember this:
Some days you be the bug, some days you be the windshield.
Make dies out of old Hammers.
Man yer one talented man I love what yer doin to keep busy my happy place is my medicine grow but I always say do what you love doin thanks from Sean in Vt
👍🇺🇸
Great videos bob , how did the mild steel dies hold up?
No more than I use it they're fine .. but if it comes down to it I will weld some hard metal on it with my MIG and reshape!
Sounds like a good plan, I’m just in the process of building one and saw the price of dies, I like your option better. Thank you for the reply.
how thick of metal will this hammer work? 1/8", 11 gauge?
It may pound out 18 gauge ... but I've only used it on 20ga.
