How To Build A Power Hammer

[@citizen116]

4 years late to the party here but I must say “You sir are what America IS”. Thank you.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks you

[@jwwood9060]

Thanks for your videos. I have been gathering scrap yard supplies to build my own. this appears to be an excellent design and your thorough explanations and measurements will be very useful. Thanks again brother, be blessed!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BruceBoschek]

I probably won't be making one of those, but I enjoyed seeing how you did it and hearing about your thinking behind it. Thanks a lot, Lloyd.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It is the safest piece of equipment in the shop but it will get the job done for sure. Thanks and have a great week Bruce.

[@wyattoneable]

That power hammer put you on the map. It's an awesome build and I think this video will inspire others to build something.

[@RustyGlovebox]

I used primarily the metal I had on hand but bought the 4x4 tubing new. . No telling what creations are in the metal pile...haha Thanks and have a great week

[@theveteranfarmer6633]

I love this idea! I farm with my dad so I can easily acquire everything you used. Thx for showing!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Good luck on your build.

[@dragontooth53]

Thank you for sharing your power hammer build with us. I'm trying to build all my equipment to be mobile and this will be a great addition to my little shop where room is not plenty, thank you again.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Loved the rain, too cold for rain here, it would be snow. Nice job on the hammer. Now you can see that it was pretty involved.

[@RustyGlovebox]

A little bit of science and a whole lot of hammer...haha, Thanks and have a great week

[@Keith1212]

Love the leaf spring. Reminds me of my grandpa. He built things from car parts quite often. Good vid man

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks Keith , always lots of good parts to salvage from old cars. Take care

[@wernerleibbrandt9422]

Thanks for all the measurements in the video Rusrty. Now it is build time for me.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks and good luck on the build.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Great share Lloyd , Now folks can build there own .. Thumbs up man

[@RustyGlovebox]

They just need a starting point and they can get it I bet. Thanks Shawn

[@MrSpongie1]

Good thing that's rain and not snow haha, man that hammer will flatten some stuff wow... no messing around don't wanna get your fingers caught in there. nice break down on how to build a power hammer.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Your finger would look like a ping pong paddle real quick. ...Ouch ! Thanks Spongie

[@Daledavispratt]

If I had one of those, I might forge blades again...that is really something! Enjoyed!

[@RustyGlovebox]

That would be a cool project . Have a great week

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

This is one of my favorite project that you have done.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks Stan, it is one of mine too. Have a great week

[@LarryDeSilva64]

That's a pretty slick set up Lloyd two thumbs up

[@RustyGlovebox]

It's real good with walnuts and pecans too. Thanks Larry

[@rayfernell5573]

Thank you for taking your time to share your great project. Ray Fernell

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Rusty, The old finger smasher, one of my favorite builds!!!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Maybe I could ad a safety switch?...Nah !...haha, Thanks Harvey

[@oldchevy4x4]

I enjoyed the build series and this vid. Thanks for sharing!

[@RustyGlovebox]

I had several ask for some details and though it would help. Thanks and take care

[@JunkyardTailgate]

Beats swinging a hammer! Good job!

[@RustyGlovebox]

You have that right. Makes it a lot easier. Thanks and take care

[@geargriden19]

Thumbs up on going through and telling us the whats it and measurements Rusty! Have a good'nnn

[@RustyGlovebox]

Several people had asked for plans but I thought I would make a video and hoped that helped them. Thanks Gear

[@MrFalynam]

Muchas gracias por mostrar su trabajo. Haré uno similar. Desde la Patagonia chilena

[@RustyGlovebox]

Gracias y buena suerte en tu construcción.

[@ramblers69]

Nothing like a day in the shop with a good rain, :) Tom

[@RustyGlovebox]

It was coming down in buckets for a while but all good now. Thanks Tom and take care

[@bigwadventures7061]

Way Cool man, love all the involved engineering in that shop toy. Beats the hell out of a 3 pound sledge and a piece of railroad tracks. VW:-)

[@RustyGlovebox]

It really takes a lot of the work out of it ...haha Thanks and have a great week.

[@TexanInTheUK1]

That is one serious machine you've built.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It's the bionic hammer...haha, Thanks and have a great week

[@TexanInTheUK1]

LoL.....it sure is. Thanks and you enjoy the rest of your week, as well.

[@tinman2163]

Awesome build great job brother.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It was my own design and easy to build. Thanks and take care

[@AeroSport103]

Nice project Mr. Glovebox. Keep up the good work. Take care, be safe! JE...

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks, time to get it out and see how it does. Have a great week

[@not2fast4u2c]

This is a good project to build ..It will make your work easier .....I don't want to pound steel by hand all day

[@RustyGlovebox]

It will make the job much easier. Thanks and have a great week

[@WallysPlace66]

Makes me want to build one just because. Good job buddy.

[@RustyGlovebox]

I know what you mean Ron. I do the same thing. Thanks and have a great week.

[@MothershipVideos]

Very interesting R Gb. Some really nice work on show there.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It was a real learning experience building the poweer hammer. Thanks and have a great week

[@SteveRobReviews]

Haha love the trailer Jack . Awesome build.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It works and gets the job done . Thanks and take care

[@NathansFerroceriumrods1]

Nice build Rusty. It's takes some knowledge to build it.

[@RustyGlovebox]

I study several designs and this was what I came up with. Thanks and take care

[@rogerlamb536]

Great build and nice skills!!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks Roger, it came together pretty good and should do a nice job. Have a good week

[@middyband]

You have another great build Rusty

[@jeancharles7804]

I like your Project,I from Brasilian

[@flaviocorradi7528]

Excelente muchas gracias un abrazo desde Argentina

[@RustyGlovebox]

Gracias, espero que tu compilación sea tan exitosa.

[@scottsinfl]

That was a cool project.

[@RustyGlovebox]

You hit the nail on the head...haha Thanks Scott and have a great week.

[@JerrysThisandThat]

That is sweet, beats swinging the hammer a few thousand times on a project Lol

[@RustyGlovebox]

It's getting close to time to get it out and pound some metal

[@TheRooster1122]

Cool build Loyd

[@RustyGlovebox]

It came out good and should do pretty good. Thanks

[@combinator27]

very nice and very practic . Good job :-)

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks you, does a good job for a simple design. Enjoy your week.

[@Buckswoodshop]

Great overview.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks, if someone is looking for a power hammer design this might work for them.

[@buzzsah]

A great info how to vid, thanks

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks Buzz, It was a fun project to share.

[@crzy4htrods]

Thanks for sharing, nothing like getting into your mad scientist mind, and seeing how it works. lol

[@RustyGlovebox]

Needs a worley gig and a spinning pinwheel and it will be complete...haha , Thanks and take care

[@crzy4htrods]

Rusty Glovebox you so funny lol

[@anastasiyatv1819]

Wow, cool happened. As always interesting Our like # 53

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks and glad you stopped by

[@wtbm123]

Good video

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks Terry, it should get it done.

[@TheRedhawke]

Very nice build.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks, it is one of many ways to make a power hammer but not that easy to find a video . Hope this helps if you make one. Take care

[@1968hambone]

well done buddy....i like it!

[@RustyGlovebox]

It will get the job done I think. Thanks and take care

[@cecil6711]

It's Hammer Time. lol Nice machine buddy. :-)

[@RustyGlovebox]

I have got to remember that the next time I get it out...lol, Thanks and have a great Sunday

[@texaslonestarrider]

Very Cool Rusty!

[@RustyGlovebox]

It will flatten a hot spike real quick. Thanks and take care

[@Ekanselter]

Assuming Energy = Mass x Velocity: Did you calculate the Hammer Velocity in a 'free drop' compared to the velocity in the 'controlled down motion'? Of course RPM and belt-tension is going to play a major role in the outcome. In other words, is the hammer velocity =/> than it would with be with the DaVinci Cam hammer?

[@RustyGlovebox]

I saw no need. A 16 lbs hammer equals a lot of force. ...lol

[@Ekanselter]

@@RustyGlovebox For sure! Just curious which design drops the hammer faster. To know for sure would require a tach on the rotating disk. Regardless you have a very nice design.

[@LilDoggy]

Now that's something I need to build!

[@RustyGlovebox]

It can really rock and roll...haha, Thanks

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Pretty sure you're the handiest person I know on KZbin. 👍

[@RustyGlovebox]

Never a dull moment and always something to do. Thanks Tim and have a great great week.

[@dalewhite5015]

Nice video but i must have missed it what size of motor did you use?

[@RustyGlovebox]

I used a 3/4 hp motor. Good luck on your build

[@towbar1965]

Good job bro

[@RustyGlovebox]

It should be a real go getter on a piece of red hot steel. Thanks and take care

[@noname-rl6gk]

Have you tested to see what pound force it hits with? More than manually swinging a hammer? Less? Easier of course but I was curious as to the poundage.

[@RustyGlovebox]

It is a 16 lbs hammer head, the leaf spring adds a little extra down force too at the bottom of the stroke. The beam is 3 foot . I bet there is a formula out there that could answer that . Thanks

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

Super Lloyd!

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Now is that the power hammer you use to pound the hot steel blank into a flat piece of steel so you can use it to make your knives?

[@RustyGlovebox]

Yes, I will make some soon. Thanks and take care

[@zombiematt1112]

How much HP does that electric motor output?

[@RustyGlovebox]

I used a 3/4 HP motor . Thanks

[@themajor1103]

Rusty, great vid. What size motor is that and did you run it on 110 or 220?

[@RustyGlovebox]

3/4 hp @ 1725 rpm, wired 110 volt

[@MalcOfLincoln]

That's going to save some arm ache :)

[@RustyGlovebox]

It will save my shoulder and make rail road spike knives easier to make. Thanks and take care

[@joseluismp2296]

Hello, I'm from Spain and I would like to build my own. My english is not good, and I can't understand you very well. My nephew is writing this for me. Could you please send me by e-mail a plane with meassurements, please? Or at least could you write the meassurements in the answer? Thank you very much.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thank you for your interest in the power hammer. Sorry, I don't have plans made for the power hammer.

[@macyoung77]

Great video but what size motor did you use?

[@RustyGlovebox]

Thanks, it is a 3/4 hp motor at 1725 rpm 120 volt . Good luck

[@deviselife6584]

What did you use as a hinge for the pivot point?

[@RustyGlovebox]

I used pillow block bearings

[@deviselife6584]

Rusty Glovebox thank you so much I've been trying to find the name of those forever. Now I can finally finish my power hammer build. I'll have a video up for that, myself! :D thanks again!

[@cameronfisher9001]

what size motor did you use?

[@RustyGlovebox]

It is a 3/4 hp and 1725 rpm. Works pretty good so far.

[@joelasater6686]

Rusty, I'm considering taking a stab at building something similar to your hammer. Just concerned, because I haven't seen a video yet showing actual use of the hammer. If it wasn't successful for you, I didn't want to waste my time and effort in making one. Thanks!

[@joelasater6686]

Disregard, I watched the Rustic Spoon video. I'd say the hammer works well. May try my luck at it now!

[@joelasater6686]

Finished my version of your power hammer. Turned out pretty good! It probably ran me around $500 in materials to build it. Just retired and had a great time making it. Already used it once on a project and it worked pretty good! Beats the hammer and anvil. I posted a short video on KZbin at kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4banpmkZtSZo6c. If you get a chance, take a look at it. Many thanks for your instructional videos!

[@plankshield]

4 videos on building your power hammer and you still have not shown us it in action.. Heat up some metal and show us what it can do!

[@RustyGlovebox]

You are right, less talk and more show. Here is a link showing me using it some. Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/npPMk3qwi9eql9E

[@plankshield]

Rusty Glovebox looks effective, I wonder if it would work better if you filled the front post with some weight. might keep it from hopping so much and make each strike more effective.. nice job

[@RustyGlovebox]

That might work, I recently made a rounded top for the the anvil I can remove to be able to draw and move the metal with more controlled. Hope to get it out and give it a try soon. Take care

[@lindamorgey6736]

It's simple, Just go to avasva page - and enter the Eco World.

[@3DOutdoors]

Oh wow, don't get your thumb in there.

[@RustyGlovebox]

If it did it would look like a ping pong paddle,,haha, Thanks and take care
