Treadle hammer tooling, a closer look

- The treadle hammer designed by Clay Spencer is something that sees almost daily use in the blacksmith shop. While we have seen its use several times, I thought we might look at some of the tooling used with the treadle hammer..

I actually bought some of Clay Spencers treadle hammer tools yesterday plus a nice guillotine tool he made. Clay is an awesome guy with the coolest shop ive ever been in. I am Blessed to live close to him.
John is like a Blacksmith's Mr Rogers. I love it. Cheers, John!
I'm a fan of Clay Spencer! Lots of knowledge
I just took Clay's Table Making blacksmithing class at John C. Campbell last year. It was a great class. Clay is in his 80s now and I noticed the classes he is teaching this coming year will have another teacher with him. I think he is beginning to train his replacement. Clay also has a power hammer tool making class that he offers at his home in Alabama every so often. As well as he works with forges to make his style of tire power hammer. We seem him a lot at AACB blacksmithing meetings and events since we are in middle Tennessee. I still need to make myself a treadle hammer.
You put some pretty good work on your videos!I mean i started watching your videos just the day before and i enjoy every video i pick!I find you very smart and creative and i believe that your channel deserve more recognision.Keep it up!
Hi John ; Love learning of tooling .As a 67 year old beginner since New Year beginner loving your videos .
Thing I might build a small treadle hammer or motorize hammer as I am old now no problem swinging my 2 lb. crosspeen (yet) .Know I could speed up my work and thinking might help get improved produce.I as only a hobbist .
Learning the link or hardy hole to hold tooling was good info.
Thank you Sir
Nice! I’ve been looking forward to tredle hammer videos... because I have one... that I need to learn how to make stuff for
Love homemade tools.
How timely was that. I am half way through building a Clay Spenser Treadle Hammer and to see some of the tools you use was excellent. Thank you John. I got the plans from ABANA and they were most considerate in that they recognised slow mail to Australia so also sent a pdf via email. The plans are excellent and worth the cost.
Lovely video. Thanks!!!
Great explanation. They gives alot of different options. Thank you sir. ⚒On!!!
Nice video
Thanks👍👍👍👍
Good video, thanks for letting us know where we can get plans for the treadle hammer. I work alone and could really benefit from owning one. Thanks!
I like your Ibar clamp better than my chain
Lol I'm watching you now on my tv lol but then I only watch you tube I don't got time for tv 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great video John,I have the mz75 powerhammer wich can be ran in treadlehammer mode and make really light blows,definitely a great tool to have,I need to come up with a safety stop of some kind so I can also use handheld tooling without the chance of being injured as well,I do think I will build a treadle hammer some day though just because you know a guy cant have to many tools. As always,Thanks for sharing and have a awesome day!
Careful with a stop on an air hammer. The air cylinder is more likely to drive past the stop than foot power would be.
@@BlackBearForge that is certainly a concern of mine also,I at one point thought of maybe a extended set of dies with a stop but I'm sure that would get in the way quickly,if I dont come up with a way that is useful as well as safe with a stop I will just continue to hold the tools with tongs or vise grips. Thanks for the tip
Great Video John..... I have a question, All the blacksmith videos keeps showing the blacksmith putting and taking from around their anvil base. Just curios what you have installed to manage tools around the base of your anvil..... I need help with managing/organizing my workspace and would love seeing what you have created to make your life easier....
I will try to show more of my anvil tool racks in an upcoming video
I think... it's not all THAT important... important is to have the one or two hammers/whatever's you are going to use ready and laid out to go.... as john says.. do a couple of rehearsal runs before you do the work. the rest of the hammers can rest on a wall rack/whatever on a shelf on a wall or couple of meters away
@@dgtlmoon Sound advice. I have my workspace outside on my patio, so alot of my tools have to be covered to prevent weather and porch-pirates from getting at them. I have made a few tool boxes for storage, but haven't figured out just yet what makes a good prep surface around my anvil and forge that doesn't get in the way and attract clutter....
@@ghostforge3303 This is one of those things that are kind of specific to how you work, and commonly used tools in your perticular smithy. One thing that seems to be very common is a small bar that mounts with bolts, or is drivin into the stump. Looks sort of like a barn door pull, or drawer pull to slide a few sets of tongs on, ot even a few commonly used hammers. One thing I like to have is a hole drilled in the side at a slight downward angle that I can set a center punch in. I often hang my brush on the punch also, so it's double duty. I've also seem horse shoes mounted to hold hammers, and those are quite nice once bent upward a little to cradle the hammer head.
@@random40s Thank You everyone for the helpful information. starting out can seem a bit overwhelming, Using my time wisely either on practicing or making stuff so I can do it better...... it's a bit daunting but again Thank you all for offering up the information and your knowledge. --STeve
Excellent video - thank you. ideas on where to get treadle hammer plans?
thanks and regards from John Spargo in Cape Town
Try abana.org however, I have been unable to access their site this morning to get the exact link. Hopefully they'll be back up later
John, can you show a video on the different dies you have for the clay spencer treaded
hammer?
I'll try to come up with something, but I don't have a lot of specialty dies. I mostly use it for top tools.
, Thanks John, I picked one up in Desote, Mo built by Bob Alexander at Scrub Oak Forge.So if you have anyone ask that's where to send them.
I’m not seeing a link in the description for the hammer plans, John. You got one?
Try abana.org however, I have been unable to access their site this morning to get the exact link. Hopefully they'll be back up later
@@BlackBearForge yeah I noticed that too, thank you
Indeed, it seems ABANA's site is down, I can't get in either.
@@BlackBearForge
Maybe a state chapter site?
