it is alive

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

@@uhenoalvarez3480 All power hammers are alive, even the new ones. They all have their own sound and character. The artist smith I go to for lessons has the smallest one I have ever seen (I call it the wee green striking machine) It's only about 4 feet tall but it does the work just fine. All of the power hammers I have ever seen fascinate me. I remember the first day I saw the wee green striking machine in action, it was my first smithing lesson ever and I was far more impressed with the work being done on it than the viking knife I was making by hand. I loved my first lesson and the piece that emerged at the end, but power hammers are where it's at! (edited for spelling errors)

That power hammer has asthma , that's why it wheeeeese all the time ??

Excellent use of an old leaf spring. That's what I love about blacksmithing; you take something that has lived out its useful life, and give it another full life to live. Beautiful work Scott.

[@gdaruda]

Sir watching you make that bar took me back 65 years or so. When I was a kid I used to help my dad do all kinds of that work my job was to turn the forge and help,where ever he needed. We had no power tools his trip hammer was attached to his shoulder by a lot of bone and muscle. We were farmers and there was always plow shears that need to be pounded out and tempered. After doing 16/20 pieces on a hot summer day it was time to hit the swimming hole as fast as we could get there. I learned a lot about life doing that but at the time I just wanted to be somewhere else but now I'm glad I wasn't. I'm in my 80s and still mess around with stuff a bit. My friends think I'm crazy and they may be rite. A great vid to be sure.

[@earl60446]

Very nice giving it to Andrew, he can use it, he sure has a lot of toys. I sometimes get a shiver watching him because he is not always careful but he sure enjoys his work and dogs.

[@charliebecker9391]

My friend had a Burke Bar to use at his business. He sold and delivered Safes. He used the Burke to tip the safe in order to place long round bars that served as rollers to move them while loading and installing. His Burke Bar had a heavy Oak Handle on it that is incredibly flexible and sturdy. A real workhorse. Great video.
