I especially like the cutoff railroad chunk for an anvil. Those 120 pound per foot rails, once a thousand freight trains have been over them, are pretty thoroughly worked hard steel.
Youd be surprised how fast 1000 trains run over some tracks. That can happen in one year easy. Old tracks have run for 50 years or more now. Just think how dense that grain is!!!

Who doesn't need a drop hammer. Add a spring in either direction and you can vary the impact pressure from nearly zero to at least twice what he's got. Nice job!
This is like a jump over time, like a dude that came from the past and landed nowadays, and has some steam gadget that can make rain. Good vídeo and thanks for sharing your ultimate diy powerhammer
Very nice da Vinci hammer. I built one from some cants of black locust timber. The fun part was coming up with a pulley combination to get the rpm just right. I see you added a caster the the helve to negate friction between it and the cam. I used a brass plate as a bearing shoe on the cam to negate wear and friction as my cam is made of fir timber.
Sir, from many videos I had wach , each with some good ideas and improvements, other, well I think you seeing some of the others too, but without a doubt your is the most ingenious , simple and pleasent to wach! Congratulations 👍 got my respect!
Hi Pete. You can check out my latest vids at my channel. I've posted a a couple of videos on the power hammer, as well as one on making a drifted wall hook. Try this link: th-cam.com/video/7E1Hx5Fhzfo/w-d-xo.html
Best wood splitter is a wedged sledge on the end of a shaft affixed to a massive spring like a teeter totter.. I can't find the video but when you see it, you'll know
ohhh you brilliant bastard, Before buying one I was looking if I could scrap a power hammer together with my own equipment I have on hand..... yeah, I will use this.....

@@charliedsurf1267 Sorry about that. Ears are definitely a niggle for me as well.. Hearing motor humming that isn't there is annoying. Wish you all the best.
@@charliedsurf1267 Yep you win mate.. My condolences on your win ☺️. I tried wearing earplugs and ear muffs around the house to try and retrain my brain. I think it made a difference for a while. It was a little strange though.
After several years the brain cuts a lot of it out, but those frequencies are gone forever. Worst is, the hearing loss is asymmetric but the tinnitus is the same in both ears..so confusing.. Mainly industrial noise damage, but i supplemented that with Koss headphones that were capable of concert level decibels, back in the 70s and 80s.
Can't see it holding up for a long time but worn out parts should be easily made and replaced. I know a number of smiths who do light work that would really like it. Very creative.
James Taylor used a drum machine in his One Man Band concert that used a very similar mechanism. The speed of the turning wheel was the speed of the bass drum.
I sure would like to be all negative about that home made POS, but it's actually pretty ingenious. The only thing I might change is to smooth out the cam lobes and make a shaft that would allow me to change hammer heads to adjust weight.

I've thought of making a power hammer with 10ft or more drop height. It would use a pair of lift chains that catch the hammer at the bottom and release it from the top letting it free fall. The setup would probably require a sizeable flywheel to avoid overloading the engine/motor at the moment catching the hammer. Cadence would be quite low probably 10-20bpm at most. High impact force of course would compensate for that.

Simplicity is a sign of great design. Excellent job.
It's funny how the guy with the hammer machine has high quality sound...
... there was a guy on here that had high quality file squeals for asmr.
That made me laugh
He probably has no idea, dudes gotta have hearing loss running this with no plugs

There’s already one pulling down. But one pulling up would be a good idea to reduce if needed.
Lol that’s freaking cool, I really enjoy seeing the shit people come up with.
Very clever design, macgyver would be proud.

That is truly satisfying to see. So simple yet effective.

It could also split firewood by putting a wedge between the hammer and the wood. Very cool regardless.
joe woodchuck no way that has enough bang to split wood
Hmmm I don't know, I think the potential wood splitting ability reduces it's coolness somewhat.

Yes! This is the most cost effective powered hammer ever. Awesome!!
Real power hammers cost real dough ray me. This is a good back yard compromise that most of us could afford.
Yeah for me it was a good starting point for maybe something bigger in the future.
yeah, same system but with a bigger hammer, obviously
Me: eyeing my 12lb sledge with malicious intent...
Outstanding. If there's a need, there's someone with the brains and tenacity to fill it.
i wonder if the rotor could function if he adds some heavy duty rubber to it to increase the downward power
Looks like there is a spring in front of the wood vertical hammer guide

Velmi jednoduché a šikovné řešení bucharu, možná bych použil ještě větší palici. Za mě palec nahoru 👍

What's interesting is that the side of the workpiece that the hammer head strikes shrinks and that the workpiece curls up from repeated blows.

Very neat invention. Makes the job easy and I would assume it probably goes by a little faster too. Very cool though 👍
