Forging a Hardy Bending Fork

[@mikeromophp]

I am thoroughly impressed with the hammer. The clamping feature is impressive. For just a second, it seemed like you were showing off, (:-)) but in reality, I know that you were just using the hammer as it is designed. Very cool video.

Iron Shepherd Forge indeed he used it quite well! I do like the fact that it really doesn't require a huge air compressor to operate it. Well done!

Thank you Iron Shepherd Forge and Marc Senteney!

Great video! Every time I watch a video from Ken, I learn something new about the awesome capabilities of the MZ75, when used by an extremely skilled operator! Thanks, Ken and Team, and keep the videos coming!

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

Thank you David! We really appreciate it and plan to release a few more videos in the near future! Will we see you at SOFA QuadState again this year?

I have a Big Blue hammer, had problems with the control valve and the Becket. Doesn't like cold days. Also have a little giant, they lack precise control you get with the air hammer. This hammer looks well designed and the high ram along with the clamping feature will be a big plus. Ordered one a few months back, expecting arrival in a few weeks. Little giant 25 is for sale.

Impressive, Ken! Love the hammer!

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

Thank you!

[@jamesball7322]

Nice job ,love the power hammer

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

Thank you James!

Thats a really good idea.

[@arceusmaster91]

5:28 how do you keep the pins captive, keeping the dies together at all times? Seems like a much better design for clapper dies, gets rid of the chance of pinching your hands compared to the ones where the handle is what keeps them together.

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

the pins are not captive, it will come apart but with a little practice you learn how much to lift it to open it and applying down pressure to keep it closed.......

[@ernestsheffield9976]

Wait wait wait. You mean I can run that on the air compressor I have already!? You mean I DON'T have spend an extra 1500 bucks on a bigger one??? Ok that's cool! I wish I had a place for a power hammer. I would start saving for one today! Geez that control.

[@arceusmaster91]

Look at the cricket air hammer

[@dukowitz85]

Did you make your stamp or do you have it made?

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

We had our stamp made. Feel free to email us at [e-mail] if you'd like to know where we ordered ours from.

[@dukowitz85]

Will do thanks

[@wyoblacksmithtools3097]

Easy as 1 2 3........ 4 5 6......789..... and a power hammer. You are creating envy for your power hammer among us amateurs. How often does your compressor turn on during a project like this? Very nice! Thanks- Jerry

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

Thank you Jerry! This little compressor turns on about once every heat.

So how would that splitting technique work on say a 2 x 2 x 3 block of 1084/15N20 damascus for feather pattern? ;-)

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

Hi Joe! This splitting technique should work for the application you mentioned.

[@bwhip]

You gotta be kidding me. It clamps too?

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

It sure does! Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions. We're always happy to discuss the MZ75 Power Hammer!
