- this is our 25lbs little giant trip hammer. this hammer was built I Minnesota , in 1916 and is considered an old style. it came to us from the original blacksmith shop in one of our local towns. other than a new spring, and a couple of miscellaneous small parts, it is completely original. works wonderfully!
I am very impressed! Great work!
Nice video
Keep up the good work!!
A brake would have helped a lot. I think you ended up with a bigger hammer didn’t you? The 25 lb hammers have certain limits! One thing to anticipate it and another to experience it! As you learned, having a bigger hammer to compliment the 25 is a big improvement.
I do regret selling mine. It was a 1921 I think
Parabéns pelo trabalho e sua apresentação, também gostei de conhecer este equipamento. Desde o Brasil.
Nice score! Best thing since three willing strikers.
I know the Little Giants were meant for forging plowshares, so the original dies had one fullering die and one flat one. You have much trouble with it curling up on you?
+Cave of Skarzs no, it dose not curl up to bad.
Nice!
+Paul Krzysz thanks Paul!
Does your hammer have the drawing dies, or flat(ish) dies?
Also it looks like you have the jaws set for a good sized gap. How big& why?
russell smith in the video I had slightly rounded dies, now I use flat exclusively. For general work, dies are set one inch apart, and when I do larger work or punching, I set them very high,
where did you find flat dies?
my LG has aggressive drawing dies.
russell smith you can buy them brand new from little giant, they are still in business
How would you buy one of these, and what would the price range be, cuz I was really considering getting one
Hello I wanted to ask you about the spring, is it a tension or compression one? and what rate is it?
Ягшы машина.👍
can you tell me is it much work to make my own dies?
alan molstad I have never made my own dies. It is very hard and you need training with a milking machine
do you by chance have the serial number of this hammer......mine was also built in 1916 in September it was my great grandfathers ....... I would like to know how close together they are
Kenny Bates it has a serial number I think that is 1924
mine is 1882
