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?
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.
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,
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
I am very impressed! Great work!
How would you buy one of these, and what would the price range be, cuz I was really considering getting one
Nice video
Keep up the good work!!
I do regret selling mine. It was a 1921 I think

+Cave of Skarzs no, it dose not curl up to bad.

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?

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
Hello I wanted to ask you about the spring, is it a tension or compression one? and what rate is it?
Parabéns pelo trabalho e sua apresentação, também gostei de conhecer este equipamento. Desde o Brasil.

Kenny Bates it has a serial number I think that is 1924
mine is 1882
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
Nice!
+Paul Krzysz thanks Paul!
