Ok Essential craftsman, I've been following you since comments on Matt Risingers channel sent me to you when the build 1st started. I have never felt the need to set up a "Essential Craftsman Best" save list for myself. Now 2 vids in today, I find that HAVE to set up a EC best. Thank you. I've been enjoying Stage Coach Farm, for that matter, who of course I "met through you.. Thanks
What great stuff. Its nice to see hiw someone else does thing that you can steal that idea or adopt that idea and make it your own. Or see how something is supposed to work and it gives you a much better understanding. Jeep up your great work on this channel Scott. Thanks.😊
I made the Super Sucker side draft in 2011 . Yes it's super! The plan called for a 12" or 10" chimney, can't remember exactly which o. But I couldn't find in my area that size so I used an 8", it draws a bit slower but the trick is to place white hot charcoal inside is at the back to heat it up way before you fire your forge. A cold chimney won't draw. Also I use a wind direction chimney vane so any blowing wind helps to add draw. I studied with Frank Turley in Santa Fe, God I miss him.
I enjoyed these videos, I was impressed with how easily Scott picked up everything. I know he already knows blacksmithing but to see how quickly and easily he made it look, both of you are incredibly talented in what you do.
I really enjoy your videos. Always excited to see new uploads. I'm looking forward to buying land and building my shop. I dream of hearing hammers striking hot steel flowing from my shop.
The little giant reminds me of when Will was trying to restore one, when he got ready to split with Alec and set up his own shop. Man, what a tragic ending that was.
Ryan awesome tools my friend. Can't wait to see more videos guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends forge on. Keep making. God bless.
I've got a rather odd question. I've had a VERY comfortable outer work jacket that has grown older with me, but sadly I've outlasted it. Would mind sharing the brand of the black canvas jacket you're wearing in this video? I'm shopping around and your seems durable and long-lasting.
Love looking at other peoples shops and getting ideas. Also one little thing is Torbjorn is more accurately pronounced Torbyorn. Just trying to be helpful.
1 problem with that hammer that I see off the bat, is bolted in dies. Those fasteners will come loose over time. Should be dovetails and drifts to mechanically lock the dies in place. I've seen fasteners pop heads off and send dies flying. Not a good thing to have with an operator's head "inches" away...
Have you really seen fasteners pop heads off and send dies flying? That sounds a bit incredible. If thinking generally, not this KZ hammer. Can't you just put bigger bolts there until they're strong enough?
@@meNtor890 Yes. Consider the amount of force (not just the hammer head falling mass, but the momentum driving it) being transferred into the workpiece / anvil. All that vertical (Z axis) force is going to result in harmonics. Those harmonics will cause the thread in the fasteners to "jiggle" up and down, resulting in the surface / surface friction holding them in place to momentarily be absent. This coupled to the helical threads, will result in those threads turning ever so slightly over time. Threadlocker can help with this, as it fills that gap and adds friction, but nothing is a permanent solution aside from truly mechanically locking the dies in place with dovetails and a tapered drift. Look at basically every Mazel's anvil -> sow and sow-> dies. Heck, look at the little giant even in this video. Same thing. There's a reason for it, and that's keeping those dies in place. You don't want fasteners in any system where high G impacts are taking place (unless there's some other mechanical method of ensuring they don't unscrew, ie wiring, or crown nuts with cotters). Always consider worst case scenario for a machine and its failure modes when designing and manufacturing. COULD X happen, yes?, mitigate.
See all that blurring going on during slight movement that's poor electronic stabilization, disable that in software on your camera or could be enabled in post processing. I can almost guarantee your camera filming it has optical stabilization already.
great stuff. I have built a power hammer inspired by the kensiron models. I have some videos on my channel walking through my version of the actuation mechanism. Some of you may be interested, particularly if you are considering building something similar
I Can relat O C D . A shop need to be cleen , tools service really and now talking while I'm working . She's like to do that while I'm grinding or cating wood . Do love a Her lot .
The MZ75 may be quiet but the honking big compressor it requires is NOT! (Unless you get one of the old 1750 rpm Kellogg type compressors from the 70s). MZ 75 has a CFM requirement of 17 CFM at 175 psi. While it may 'work' with a pancake compressor you're not going to be doing production work with it. Ken's makes a great hammer but there are some caveats the guy in this video is "sales pitching" around. Do your homework folks. An MZ 75 is ~$7200. You can get a near equivalent weight Anyang (not an ST knockoff) for just under $10K. An MZ is ~$7200 PLUS a couple grand worth of compressor. The Anyang is just a poka poka poka sound at idle.
It's fun to watch two enthusiasts talk shop.
This guy expresses himself nearly as well as Scott.

Great pneumatic hammer. It's fun what you learn by visiting another's shop. Thanks for getting us all in there with you.
My friends’ son just turned 10. I took him to the Ferrier on his birthday and he got to make a horseshoe. We all had a blast.
I have an MLZ75 and I love it. He's right they are great people and very helpful.
Thanks for sharing this with us, thinking this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time
That's a beautiful set up. It's going to be interesting to see how you incorporate some of these ideas into your own shop.
Two great guys, two great shops!

Wish I could afford a powerhammer like that. Beautiful

so glad to see the regular ec content again, love this stuff
Running off a pancake compressor is mind blowing
My grandfather had a little giant like that one in the background. It was the coolest thing ever.
Love that MLZ75! He makes an awesome hammer

Where you from?
@kourmoulis I am in Texas. DFW area.
Excellent episode
I’m very impressed. Really a nice shop.
I am like you never to old to learn an take tips from the next generation.
Hah. Loved that Scott appreciated good application of ocd, I am all about that where needed or required.
Great stuff! Love learning and watching you guys.
Man's got a great set up. Thanks for sharing 👍

Wonderfully done. Thanks
Fantastic video, Scott and Nate. GREAT WORK!!
Ryan awesome tools my friend. Can't wait to see more videos guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends forge on. Keep making. God bless.
Oh wow that power hammer is awesome!! It's small enough to fit in my tiny little workspace. I want one now. 😄
The side draft forge does seem like a no brainer.
Nice shop!
☺️Nice episode!.... OCD😂
Very nice.
Sounds like he's invented the jeweler's power hammer.
awsome thanks
Just remember when you call the office to say, "Hello, Mary-Lou."

Looks like a copy from the bull (later phoenix forging hammers) from Tom Troszak

I was wondering what that was. It was making me feel sick.
Whatever happened to the pans you made a few months ago and was going to give away to cooking youtuber?

Saddle dies are def not a Ken design. His are nice too, but that idea goes back a long ways. Most folks were introduced to it by Clifton Ralph.
now it'll be impossible to be able to buy one of these for about a year. good problem to have. :)
Mine got here about two weeks ago. I waited 4 months for delivery --from Minnesota

"Dead silent" apart from the air compressor- not all that good to have a high cycling pump.
