Guillotine Tradle Hammer and the Moveable Pulley Drive System - an explanation...

I wanted to add a brief explanation as to why I added this type of drive mechanism to my Guillotine Hammer and how I came to understand it as a (small) advantage.
PLEASE NOTE: at the 3:14 mark, I state "Fixed point". That should have said "moving point".
Again, thanks to ‪@colesonchild‬ for bringing the Guillotine concept to life, and for ‪@rpower1401‬ and ‪@theblacksmithingpastorguy‬ for the discussions that led to furthering the idea.

..Incredible build sir. Coleson created an extraordinary machine and like others you have improved on the design. i subscribed. Howdee from East Ala-BAMA...

You’ve definitely created a 1:2 ratio. If you measure from the sprocket centre instead of the end of the treadle it will be doubled at the hammer baring any compression of the shock absorber spring. Concept proven. Very good design 👍🏻

Excellent explanation! In any event, no matter what the math, it works, and that's the important thing, at least to me. Thanks!

Great video. Happy to hear the idea worked out for you. I'm pretty happy with mine at the standard 1:1 but I may create an accessory rig with cable and pulley to try the extra speed on my machine. Also if you have a chance to do a video on the use of the machine I'd love to see how much extra impact energy you get.

I've been wanting to do that, but I need an extra set of hands or sort out how to hold the camera. I'll get a short up soon...

@@RustyMetalRanch For my brief test video I was able to just hold the phone with one hand. You can also just lean it up on top of something in place of a tripod to get around the issue. Looking forward to seeing it!
