Love the design of that power hammer, its a great size and utility for knife making. Plus you know who your friends are when it comes to driving that bloody far and dropping it off at your home! edit- yes on the sheaths, I don't do a lot of that whole outdoors and edc thing, but you do have to sell them with a sheath and even if its just kydex, it makes it usable otherwise it sort of means the customer has to go running around looking for someone to make one and that's generally more of a pain in the arse for anyone who's tried it. Sort of why I say, I only do kydex sheaths, its the only material which will give a usable product in reasonable time to make. I'm sure someone who's a wiz with leather working can pump out a lot of them over a few days too, but that guy isn't me.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Man, it has been awesome using it. I can't wait to get out there tomorrow and forge some stuff.

[@jimtaylor6663]

Congrats on the power hammer! I love that it's built from reclaimed materials. I'm stashing cash for a forge press. Hope to have it by end of summer.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Jim! A press is on the list of things I want this year as well.

[@mcrich1978]

Ya know... watching myself from another angle.. I didn't do too bad 😂 I had a blast doin shop stuff as always bro! Thanks for the forging fun time ❤

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Klaus 👍

[@jeremiahcoakley4168]

Heck yeah power hammer! Thats awesome! Sheaths are nice to have with my knives but I just hate making them so much! I did sell my knives easier and faster once i started just including sheaths though unfortunately lol. I gotta go to this blade show next year maybe someone will give me a mosaic pin or two haha those things are expensive! Great video Erick!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@Jeffrose_]

Love the new hammer. Looks like it will be very usefull. It seems to slam down pretty fast. Nice

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, it's awesome!

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

Ayy new pfp! This one was loaded 😂 The discussion about sheaths was interesting, im currently looking for someone to do my sheaths for me because i SUCK. Very cool new power hammer, nice to see matt moving up in life, all around great! Also i did my first stream yesterday and it was a blast! Got a whooping peak viewership of 3 😂

[@theriversexperience9383]

Heck yeah, atleast you started. Those 3 will turn into more!

[@mcrich1978]

[@theriversexperience9383]

[@kevinreilly3369]

Opens up a whole new world with your new Mighty Thor whakadoo! Like to see you try some forge welding for, Axes, Damascus patterns ect!

[@jeffreydauterman]

Get some power hammer tooling and you will be golden!!! Great addition!!!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Yup, that's the goal eventually.

[@jeffreydauterman]

@@theriversexperience9383 yes sir!!!!!

[@johnjude2685]

The weight of the hammer might be affecting his control. Like the radius of them hammers.

[@theriversexperience9383]

He go use to the hammer pretty quick. I just wanted him to focus on good technique.

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

Awesome buddy! Sign me up for the first TRE forging class! (Technically 2nd… I guess). You’re only about 90 minutes up the road.

[@theriversexperience9383]

You will definitely be in the first class.

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

@@theriversexperience9383 Just got a chance to finish watching..It’s actually pretty smooth and controlled..I was impressed. And as far as power hammers go, it really didn’t seem that loud. How controllable is the speed? I couldn’t tell if you were throttling it or if it’s more of an all or nothing thing. Assuming it’s an AC motor, can’t really vary the speed.

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

Where’s this weekend’s knife show?

[@theriversexperience9383]

@@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks it real easy to control the speed with the foot pedal. The show is in Wichita Falls. It's a local show.

[@craigwillier]

What's up

[@theriversexperience9383]

What's up Craig? How's it going?

[@PintoKnifeWorks79]

hey , I'd take one of those pins,

[@theriversexperience9383]

Ok, I got you

[@johnjude2685]

You might be making your own hammers next time

[@neilyakuza6595]

I think you need a hydraulic press Erick.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thats on the list for sure.

[@Little_River_Forge]

What’s up with those pins !!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Send me a message on Instagram. I'll send you some.

[@mcrich1978]

Not First 😂
