That was also another option i was considering.. i beleaguered theres a class every year in Louisiana where you just pay for materials & build it yourself with a group of people in 3 days. Pretty cool..
Yes sir! A fine addition.. i love the history behind these hammers, its 101years old & still going! ...and im a big Marvel fan.. since way back with comics so the movies are just a great era to finally see comics cone to life.. but i beleive it was Xmens Beast... or The Juggernaut.. theme that i was planning on.. you’ll have to wait too see which one i go with lol..
Im in NY.. im willing to ship.. but shipping can be expensive, i have a very nice hay budden, the swage block, buffco 500 forge blower & a post vice for sale..
Id need $800 for each & im in upstate capital area so like maybe 6hour drive east of buffalo.. i can send pictures & video of the swage & anvil.. anvil is very clean & haybudden ...the swage isnt a big as the monster one i have but its pretty good size & weight & thick
@@TheEvilways101 I'll talk to my buddy that may want the swedge. What is the weight of the anvil? I'm actually in Colorado so shipping is something I'll have to check on
Helpful tip which you may already know, hard to see but everything that moves needs oil or grease every day or every hour if extended use. Oil is better than grease on most pieces. The pitman arm and the clutch that runs on the spider are the pieces that use grease. Everything else use oil including the clutch blocks and ram guides. If its not got oil everywhere it doesn't have enough haha. Those are little giants recommendations
Will do! Thank you! I was already told they are very hungry monsters for the grease & oil.. i think thats kinda what i like about them.. i oil all the little drip spots on the joints, control arms etc with motor oil in the winter & chain saw oil in the summer.. grease & 3-1 oil combo on the ram guides.. next steps are new shroud & build a nice mesh grate protector in the front incase the spring ever decides to fly apart lol.. and a new paint job.. just finished installing new drawing/rounding dies.. next video
@@TheEvilways101 Your welcome sounds like you're on top of things, I was just passing along what I've learned. Another thought and it's completely up to you but alot of people I know with those hammers put a piece of fire hose or radiator hose around the spring. That way if it breaks its contained in the hose. I personally thing it looks better than the big cage and it does the same job. Like I said up to you but trying to help
I never thought of that.. good idea.. im still learning so I definitely appreciate the advice, only thing keeping me from the firehose sleeve is having to take the spring off then out back on.. im afraid lol so i just wanna leave it be.. but agree it would def look better, so thats the trick when if i build a cage for it, im gonna try to make it look good, be functional & not get in the way.. i got a idea but probably wont built it till spring time..
Nice!!! I have the plans to build a tire hammer. Now I need time to get to it.

Add a piece of card board behind the wood blocks to force the blocks to the clutch face. Not hard to replace.
Nice hammer. Ooooo snow! Yucky lol
Congratulations bro.
🙏 blessed days sirSir and well wishes

Ooooooh thats really nice!! That's a game changer!
It’ll definitely speed up certain projects.. lookin to get a plasma cutter too.. I got some big projects cooking..
Where are located? I know a guy that'd be interested in the small swedge. I might be interested in one of your spare anvil

What part of NY my father-in-law is in Buffalo? How much for the swedge and anvil?

I believe the anvil is around 150/155lbs & the swage is 12”x12” x4” and maybe between 100/120lbs.. i can ship ups or fastenall
