    Fantastic. Regarding the plasma cutter - be careful that the units case doesn’t ground out to the metal bench or ground lead. The case must remain insulated to the grounding lead. Another TH-camr shorted theirs out and destroyed the power supply. 👍😎👍

    Won’t be long and you will be looking for or building a bigger shop to fit all this awesomeness into. Can’t wait to watch your skill grow as they did with the Pullmax. Thanks for taking us along on the metalshaping journey.

    The color looks appropriate to me but its your machine... congrats on your procurement of a machine that separates the men from the boys!. I've never even used a power hammer..but I've experienced less than desirable results with an English wheel!... hope to see the results from this new tool..

    Haha when I saw the title and length of it I didn’t think I could get through it but it was so interesting with all the stages of progression that I made it through and was a little disappointed that it wasn’t longer with you actually running the thing in the end. Nice work.

    Wow, what an addition to the shop. I like the color, because I like an old, industrial look, and maybe mist on a little red oxide primer for patina? Then you have to paint the other adjacent tools to match, lol. Sure, the machine will vibrate and move a little, but you can keep an eye on that, and not let it walk away, anchor it better as needed. Lookin' great Travis.

    • @RACGARAGE

      I would anchor it but I have radiant floor heating. It’s a gamble drilling holes

      LOL !! Can certainly relate to that !! We all practice that "immortal" thinking when we are young and "pay the price", at the "orthopedic surgery center", decades later. I see you wearing/using different types of PPE which is great. Please don't ignore considering protecting the "structural" elements and the "joints" of your body. Not "fun" when the damage you're doing to them now needs to be repaired decades down the road. Get help or use mechanical aids for heavy lifting.;o)

    your set up has a few problems in my opinion, yes hammers were attached to support beams in buildings they were also belt driven and smaller, you need a self-supporting base, the harmonics (shake)with that secured(??) to your shop wall will be hard to take, as will be the noise mounted to a wood column, power hammers tend to walk, even with a good base, also the lower arm timbers serve only to stiffen the lower arm not to support the machine, adjust in some stroke ran it at full and you'll see what I'm talking about,,,
