    In this video Chris and Ilya give an inside look at the power hammer that we have here at our blacksmith shop. We even show some restoration on a power hammer or two and some that are in the works being restored now. We cover how each hammer works and what makes each power hammer unique. Everything you need to know about mechanical hammers such as Little Giant Power Hammers and Bradley Helve and Strap hammers. Ilya also breaks down our self contained 165 kg Anyang hammer and gives a brief run down of how a hammer like that or Nazel or Beche would work and what makes them different from others hammers.
    We will do more videos like this if you like it. We are getting several old new hammers in this upcoming year and hope to share them with you all when they live again!

    The historical background of the water-driven trip hammers goes back to the roman era!
    There is a site in France built on a steep hillside where there is evidence of forging AND flour production as the water descends to the valley floor, via a series of units, all driving off the same river.
    This style is also still to be seen in rural china, not however for metal but for pounding sticky rice!
    It's a community owned project.
    Fascinating that the idea has been in use for roughly 2,000years!
    I worked in production and never really got the chance to "play" with the big toys in the workshop.
    Sometimes, I really wish I had.
    Thanks for a great visit.

The lives of blacksmiths are in my hands and I have to be very careful so that our team would work quickly, efficiently and safely. Thanks for attention!

    You guys should make a video about sharpening and repointing plow shares .
    Not sure where your getting a lot of your details from but I'd love to see that done cold.
    Why are babbit bearings precursors to bearings, instead of just being a type of bearing?
    Why does it sound cringe to refer to an electric motor as an "engine"?
    Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate what you guys are doing here, I too have a passion for antique machinery and traditional metal work.
    I do however criticize some of your explanations for being vague and yet authoritative at the same time.
    Nomenclature is important to get right when you're trying to teach and explain a process or a mechanism.
    Some of what I'm saying is a little cheeky, but overall I appreciate what you're doing and your effort to explain these examples of powered forging hammers.

    Very informative video! If you're going to do more of these in the future, you may want to invest in a tripod that stabilizes the camera in high wind environments. It's a little nauseating watching the small shakes in the informational shots. There's also software that does the same thing.

    It was nice to hear about the history of the power hammers that you own. I have never used those kind that are used on your channel, but I have used a Double oscillating Air/Steam drop forge hammers for both close die and open die forging. It would be awesome to learn how to use such a small hammer. The hammers I used were open frame ranging from 10,000 lbs. to 25,000 lbs.

    Babbit bearings are actually still common in industry. Many old motors that are not easy to replace have babbit style bearings, and as long as the fit and finish is solid, they work great. Contemporary roller bearings are easier and can be run with looser tolerances, but they definitely still use babbits.
