    Karl - very clever design, and simple enough for any fabricator to build!

  • @blainedyck3836
    @blainedyck3836 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    It’s nice to see that your showing people that anyone can build something from scratch out of junk with simple tools even if you have to borrow a tool to finish it off . Great job thank you

      You give people to much credit. Most can’t even change a tire.

      Does it really matter how good someone is. If Karl can inspire them to give it a go isn’t that the ultimate outcome!

    Nice build, very neat and simple! You say you’re not an engineer but there she stands, and she works well. You have great intuition and a very competent set of hands. Those two things are better than any degree in the real world, in my experience.

  • @MrParacristo
    @MrParacristo 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am sooooooo looking forward to attempting a build like this myself. I have a buddy CNC cutting out the bead roller for me right now. So a scrap power hammer sounds like the next tool build for my shop! Thank Carl (JapHands)

    You blow me away. Is there anything you can’t do. I was as excited as you while you were building this thing. I love this channel it gives me inspiration for my projects. Keep it up.

  • @santocominos3252
    @santocominos3252 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Built a bead roller modified from your design, not finished yet, want to build a power hammer similar to Steve Shepards Petingal hammer, and a pullmax type machine, lot of work before I can get to a car, but you're an inspiration.

  • @ralphalvarez5465
    @ralphalvarez5465 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Your skill with a torch is incredible and the build of this machine reminds me of stuff that my dad used to make. He loved to fabricate and you have that same passion towards the build.

    Brilliant work, Karl. If you add a coolant feed and catch-tank to your pillar drill your drill bits will last 10 x longer. I use a vibration pump out of a domestic espresso machine - they are very cheap. You have inspired me to build a power hammer now!

    That's what old school is all about.
    Using your head and hands rather than your credit card is such an important yet forgotten skill. I can only inspire my son, Good to know, there is someone doing that job on a bigger scale.
    Good onya 👍

    @thom17043 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really appreciate both that you make the work of metal shaping approachable as well as making the entry to it - by making your own tools - approachable. In your "storytime" segment, you said a number of times about how you were in awe of metal shaping for a long time before you had a chance to take Christian Sosa's class and actually give it a try. I think a lot of people out there are at that point - and many never get past it. I give you a lot of credit for showing people that doing these things are attainable and it is just a matter of making the effort.

    DUDE! You are an inspiration! After taking the class with you and Christian, I was feeling like "how can I justify buying a Pullmax?" (I loved that machine) I now have my answer. Challenge accepted! I'm going to build one! But I will use my lathe!

    Nice work Karl, another machine to build for my workshop. just in case you dont know you can rotate the clutch mechanism on the front of the motor by loosening the bolts that hold the clutch assembly to the motor then you rotate it so you can orientate the lever to suit you foot linkage. Cheers Greg

    Awesome build. As a dyslexic, I can really see how this can be done without a plan or blueprint. To make something like this out of scrap and off the cuff is right up my alley.... just love it. 🙂👍

    When it comes to Fabricating my own Tools and Garden Tractor Attatchments, I have always tried to sketch at least 4 variations (thumbnails) so I am able to follow our beloved "K.I.S.S." method in order to try different styles and techniques.
    Plus, when it is drawn, you always have an eraser to change anything before making that first cut of material!
    When it comes to "larger projects" such as your Recipicating Hammer, I visit my local Big Box Store or Grocery Store, and ask for a few "Pallet Slips" (cardboard peices that help protect the palletised goods) early in the morning after they stock shelves.
    You can NEVER have too many of these, as they also work splendidly for C.A.F.E. (Cardboard Aided Fabricating & Engineering) that we all know of.
    As I am only 14:53 into this video (so far), Zerk fittings will be your Best Friend to keep everything from seizing... Especially if you grind in a few (4-8) groves into the Vertical "hammer arm" without having to worry about Seals about ½" above the Zerk Fitting at "absolute bottom" of the throw.

    " Google engineering degree.." That cracked me up! Karl thanks I needed that laugh!!! I believe the half horsepower should work fine for that purpose. Shouldn't need anything any bigger than that. Ya made yourself a descent little metal stretcher there bud..looks pretty cool. That tool will definitely come in handy for sure.

  • @minnesotatomcat
    @minnesotatomcat ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bought an old farm site about 5 years ago and I’ve been steady picking through all the old wood and metal and everything else that people have piled up around here over the last 100 years and using it to build things and furniture and an ice fishing house and lots of other stuff. It’s fun to just let your imagination loose and challenge yourself to build whatever it is you need out of whatever you got laying around 👍 tell Brenda I says hi!

  • @jamespriebe6408
    @jamespriebe6408 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I built a copy of this little guy with a couple tweaks, added a 10.5 driven sheave from an air compressor which gives it a little more power and I ran flange bearings on the frame to reduce friction and make it run smoothly. I had previously billed too much larger power hammer of my own design with a 48 inch throat and a four horse DC permanent magnet motor, but there are some things this little short style machine does better than my other stroke machine.

    I've been working with metal all of my life as a welder and eventually a Maintenance Manager with an Associate Degree in Welding Technology. Worked In Steel Manufacturing for thirty years. Probably seen and done everything he's done in some form or another. I'm always entertained and learn a new way approach to metal working projects I take on now at Seventy. You can teach an old dog new tricks!

    I never tire of Karl's videos and I've been an engineer for fifty years. A master of keep it simple stupid that works beautifully.
    You can tell the quality of the craftsman by how tidy their work area is too.

    • @richardsdennis
      @richardsdennis ปีที่แล้ว

      Bill George I'm impressed that you with your fifty years as a engineer didn't try to impress people with your knowledge. You simply complimented Karl on his work and tidy work environment.

    • @billgeorge7804
      @billgeorge7804 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. The truth is, I admire Karl's expertise in these videos and because he's still loving his work. Even with all of those years I take great pleasure in watching a rounded craftsman creating useful equipment from odds and ends. It brings back memories of being in the middle of nowhere, all you have is a welder-generator, a gas axe and a grinder with a pile of scrap to make something usable. What impresses me with Karl is his ability to do the same thing, employing basic tools yet still produce a polished product. Hopefully he'll start to get the recognition he deserves by reaching a million subscribers.

    I can empathize with your machine building excitement. I have been working on a 20" disc sander. More for wood working then metal working. It's machine building none the less. This is mostly made out stuff I have on hand as well.
    Your hammer is awesome. I have seen pictures of the pull max and Yoder hammers, but haven't fully explored the mechanisms that make them work. Great stuff!!

    And this is the exact reason we keep all those little bits of scrap steel. Very interesting build Karl. Probably not something I would make, however. You could easily take that mechanical movement and use it for ??? That's what's nice about being able to look at a mechanical object and see how it works.
