Nice !! Good stuff will. I'm super excited to see you uploading more regularly. Your smile and attitude was one of the reasons I kept coming back to Alec's channel. Now that you have your own I'll be back for every video !

[@durtyweeman1]

100% 👌🏻

[@jerram3685]

Very well said..

[@squidge903]

Alec's

[@tombignell8932]

Alec does my head in after a while, I get the impression he's very big headed and no longer subscribe, this channel is much better vibes for a keen blacksmith hobby audience

[@MakeEverything]

What a beautiful hammer! Awesome to see it running!

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

Thanks man! I’m excited to see yours running as well!

[@Quaddragon]

Can't wait for him to start a series where he travels the world rebuilding power hammers for people. By now he is a certified expert.

[@davisstout2009]

Love the cross and verses on the wall Will!

[@nicksboots]

Amazing hammer. Way to go, Will!

[@stxrynn]

To quote a great song @ 14:18 "Turn IT UP!!!" Bringing the sound of the old hammer mills back to Montana!!!! WELL DONE!!!!

[@mannsdan]

oh the sweet feeling of accomplishment when a job is finished and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor! what a sweet project! i can't imagine the joy you felt when that baby hit it's first piece of hot steel after being reborn! kudos Will!

[@Zogg1281]

The sound the motor and flywheels makes when you turn the power on and off is fantastic!!!! Good job on slogging through it all and getting it running 👍👍👍

[@TheKajunkat]

Wow your Ace is really well stocked. Mine only has lathe and shaper hold down kits. Impressive!

[@entrepreneurlife649]

I'm amazed at the mass in the moving assembly of the hammer. It was slowing down 500 to 600 lb of rotating flywheels...

[@Of_the_House_of_Black]

Will... your energy is amazing. Plus one for the epic ad delivery. A hobbyist, or a... Job... . . . . Person...

[@Eytaris]

congratulations for making the old girl beating steel again! One thing though, I would have install a control box (ON/OFF and emergency stop buttons, the box mounted on a mobile post to keep it at hand when using the power hammer) linked to the VFD external control board, they usually don't like to be cut from main voltage under load, even when they are supposedly engineered for that purpose. One more thing, if the VFD is designed for it, adding a braking resistor would be a good thing for a load like a large flywheel, it will help to wind down the load during shutdown, either in normal stop or emergency stop.

[@JB-nz6ew]

I love your self-deprecating humor. Keep up the great work.

[@lion-face9804]

You know it’s a good machine when it both looks and sounds dangerous

[@13jq]

That workshop has a mid-evil vibe to it. Large overhead machinery spinning with massive amounts of torque. It's like if you step in the wrong area....YOU DIE!!!

[@xblackdog]

@@13jq Just as the late 1800s early 1900s intended!

[@monkeking8604]

You got emotional damage just by looking at it

[@sgsax]

Congrats on bringing the beast to life! And glad you can look back and laugh about the fate of the other hammer. It still makes me clench up thinking about it. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with this thing. Thanks for sharing!

[@stephenxero]

Lifetime country club membership white. Awesome that the hammer is up, been a fun project to watch 😃

[@marcerivest6204]

She's a beauty , really nice job of restoring this nice old machine . I believe that the paint that wouldn't come off probably has lead in it.

[@ThunderDK74]

The snow is so white that titanium white movie theatre screens are jealous. I love that you have your shop in the middle of nowhere. It's a beautiful place for sure. Keep up the good work! :-) I would personally love to see more kitchen chef knife creations in the future. Maybe you could visit Kramer Knives and collaborate with him one day. That would be really incredible. I assume you know that his chef knives are the most sought out by chefs all around the world. Again awesome content you create. So thank you for that :-)

[@jubilantyogurt]

It's the fresh journeys and the humor, but also the mistakes that kept me returning to Alec's channel and I'm happy you also are not afraid of sharing those :) Love your channel and happy you raised the video and audio quality :)

[@Share451]

Will you're a dork! I love it! NGL I cried when you dropped the other one! Broke my heart watching yours break! So congratulations from Germany! Keep it up!

[@Grandwigg]

You know the drill! Hahahahahahaha Love the humor. It's been wonderful watching the journey to get this working again. It's hard to believe it's been over a year.

[@HDBrown-wc9xt]

It’s alive!!! it’s alive!!!!!!! Congrats. I’m so glad you didn’t drop it.

[@ben_wyatt]

Dang man, by far the best music on KZbin. Reminds me of Yellowstone, which make perfect sense because you live in Montana. Keep up the great work my friend

[@az99102]

I’m glad you have a sense of humor about the hammer drop! Love your videos!

[@dougmcfee8351]

Ace is the place to get all of everyday hardware needs.

[@sambonefarmer9139]

Nice work, I'm thinking there is immense job satisfaction in getting the big guy up and running!

[@jaypearman9528]

Awesome, love seeing old tools doing there thing and moving hot metal PERFECT!!!!!!

[@markroper9269]

Ace has everything!!! Was there last week and got two double EMT 90 connectors and a key for a 1990 Sears car-top carrier. Twins Ace is the best!!

[@jimengr]

Wow Will, what a jam packed video! What a huge job that restoration was, congratulations on finishing. Enjoyed the whole series.

[@genericconservative]

Congrats on reviving a piece of history!

[@adamsheffield4704]

This guy’s got some character I have to say. Love the puns. Cracked up at “You know the drill”.

[@nicholasviney5975]

11:22 once you pop you just cant stop. Good job Will

[@jcapogna]

I loved all the humor you put in this video.

[@iddx]

Been watching since the first attempt, didn't work out, glad to see you finally have a power hammer working!

[@floriansauter68]

Really enjoyed the video series for the restoration of this hammer.

[@HeyV63]

That MONSTER is a BEEEEEEAUTY!!! Congrats man, the springy movement of the upper die and the part that holds it is particularly hypnotic to look at! I'M SO BLOODY JEALOUS!

[@nickscott1310]

Very happy to see you get another big power hammer after the incident at Alec's shop. Huge undertaking and truly impressive

[@joebaxter6428]

Yeah, that was heart-wrenching to watch.

[@bproudd]

I am so happy to see you fixed the hammer! I still cringe when i remember what happened with the other power hammer you were restoring, it literally broke my heart to see that happen. Congratulations! And happy smithing!

[@AndresLopez-uf4ew]

Hey man I'm a newbie here ,. From Texas. I started out watching your video of your knives that you took to show and haven't stopped. WOW that's a Monster Pancake 🥞 Machine.

[@JoyfulWisdom]

Such a beautiful piece of machinery! Congratulations Will!

[@carwynvan]

Really happy to see the beast finally up and running! It was devastating to watch your last one take a tumble...

[@TheHeroPercy]

Loving the humor here. Also gotta be careful with phases dropping on a 3 phase, I’ve seen them fail to trip a breaker and go molten

[@scottbell2677]

It's so white the snow has a well rounded portfolio

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

You should be very proud of yourself. Nice job shop is comming along nicely.

[@silentforest4126]

Just throw in some high class long time projects. Make it a ten part series..m take ur time with it and keep people at your channel. U gonna make it dude. All the best

[@williamhart4896]

She's a loud brute good luck with the tune up for her and thanks for the uploaded content stay safe

[@dahgman3225]

Its terrifying beautiful to see it moving, so dangerous, so smooth

[@stevenb7319]

I love the black paint and gold letters on the power hammer. That’s a good looking beast of a machine.

[@serious2204]

That is one Very Cool power hammer. Great to see it running, look forward to seeing more episodes.

[@jeff1176]

Man, that was an epic tale from beginning to end. Glad you got it fired up and running

[@pfistor]

Congrats! So glad to see this up and running after the heartbreak of the former one. Good work man!

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

Looks like a nice part of the world you live in. Nice job as well.

[@gregoryh4601]

Will. I like to Say thanks for Going Old School on your Machines. Us Older Timer Love to see you Restore this Old hammer. Peace Be With You. Need a Poo or Doo Shed.

[@Rodrigomezcua]

This is a really good restoration and a really good not-dropping-the-hammer

[@tankerboysabot]

Patience is a virtue. Love it.

[@johnrosa6806]

"Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." - Theodore Roosevelt Is one of my favorite quotes I've ever come across years ago.

[@marcclapton]

Congratulations! After seeing the other hammer get destroyed, this is such a sweet victory. Well done Will. Now let’s see some sweet builds.

[@ghidello]

I came for the great skills but now I stay for the humor.. like on this old tony. Thanks!

[@williammcphail4432]

That shot at 15:25 is pretty damn splendid! Well done, Will.

[@willgallatin2802]

That beauty is only missing 1 thing. One of AvE's stickers. He offers one that is along the lines of warning this machine predates safety, and has a pic of a power hammer. Well done Will.

[@muledeerdude]

It’s so white I couldn’t tell when Will was or was not on camera 🤷‍♂️ Also I’m very jealous of your Beaudry. It’s a beautiful hammer.

[@cavemanvi]

It’s so white it can’t jump.

[@AlmostSickBoy]

It's as white as middle age man with wife, two kids, mortgage and depression.

[@JacktheFireEater]

Its so white that mayonnaise is spicy to it.

[@tumblecat]

Well done young man, well done!!!

[@25TheCaveMan]

It's practically brand new now! Great job Will!! Looking forward to seeing all the projects you hammer out with that thing.

[@Hamy3k]

SO cool to finally see it up and running!

[@benjaminpitu9367]

I started watching you on Alec’s channel because I loved your personality and how you can always stay positive and able to put a smile on my face, I am here for the long run and can’t wait to see what you make next

[@robertlevine2152]

Will, Very nice work. It is very impressive to see your ingenuity. May I suggest that if you have a similar project in the future you consider using Philadelphia Resin instead of wood. Philly Resin is designed to ease the process of supporting machinery. Philly Resin has been around for decades. It is used as a chocking material to support the main engines on ships. You might also consider hydraulically tensioned bolts such as Morgrip or SKF. Once tensioned the nuts will stay tight until you decide to loosen them. Another area that you may consider is the placement of your motor. Having the motor that high makes maintenance problematic. Also, should you decide to upgrade the motor replacement will be difficult. You might find it better to have the motor closer to the ground and using a longer drive belt. Amongst other things it helps concentrate weight closer to the base. Good luck, Bob

[@beatarcheologzt]

15:24 Wow!!!! Great shot

[@orias12]

That’s super awesome. I’m so happy you got your hammer up and running. I am interested in seeing it working at full strength and what you make with it. Forge or Die!!!

[@TJForehand]

That's awesome, man! My heart broke for you when you dropped your last one and this has been an epic build, what a beast of a machine! Happy to see it come together finally!

[@belesariius]

2 things - love the jet engine noise as it comes down. (great for visitors and the tubes) and handy having that big cross next to it just in case ;)

[@jjames5928]

Awesome , glad to see it coming along, but Man I miss you and Steele together . Loved those videos

[@dazrich20]

I see why you added your shot of you welding your isolator arm onto the frame. Best Weld I've seen on youtube in quite a while

[@EthanBammerlin]

That motor sounds really cool when it first spins up

[@452jman]

Always impressive to see those big'ol beasts running. Well done on the rebuild. Can't wait to see it hammering at full capacity.

[@GodLovesUsSoMuch]

That was cool, nice to see you got it working so well. God bless brother!

[@fgslwoodworks]

That is a great looking hammer! I love the sound of the belt engaging when you step on the lever. I know you must be happy it is finished and working, but it looks like you had just as much fun fixing and assembling it! Keep up the good work!

[@Christineeve]

Great job, Will. It was a lot of work and pain. You did it!

[@frankierzucekjr]

This is awesome bro, congratulations. Amazing work. I cant wait to see what you make with this beauty. I'm so proud of you bro.

[@davebrock6618]

My local ACE would be lucky to have the bags your items came in, let alone the all thread and nuts. Glad you have a good hardware where you live.

[@ryanolson475]

way to go dude, glad progress is being made.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

I spent three years in a factory that assembled induction motors like that one, and for a year or so I was in the paint department, and I gotta say It’s Wild seeing one of those 1) painted red (we mostly did blue) and 2) seeing it done with a rattle can as it hangs from a chain lmao The power hammer’s lookin killer, Will - kudos on not dropping this one

[@b2bogster]

Your awesome man! What an amazing spot you have to work too. Makes me want to go make more knives and coat hook and anything else that involves hot metal and a hammer. Thank you!

[@IneptOrange]

Living somewhere that snowy is a dream for me. I despise the heat so much, and frankly I prefer to be freezing cold rather than sweltering because it's easier to warm up rather than cool down.

[@Seelenschmiede]

Word. You can always apply another layer, but at one point you can't remove another one... I hate the heat too.

[@super_slo]

That only holds until about 15 below F. At some point your feet just decide they're never going to warm up again if you let them get cold. 🤣 I love the cold and snow, but I don't miss the back to back 30 inch snowfalls and the never ending plowing/blowing!

[@williamdillon4282]

Very excited for you Will. Been fun watching you get this hammer running and just waiting for your first creation.

[@dannyarrowheadstalker3054]

It's about as white here in Missouri as it is up there. The only difference is, ours is sleet. It's a glorious day when antique equipment comes back to life.

[@nicholascurren9784]

So awesome to see that hammer finished! Wonderful job on the restoration, it’s gorgeous!

[@FABiOTiS]

What a journey! So happy you got the Beaudry running Will.

[@sethdenman5338]

Beautiful man. The leather belts and huge wheels sure are fun to watch.

[@israelgarcia7269]

Well done!!! Also, the music in this episode was super good. Keep up the good work!

[@theebrewmaster]

Can't wait to see episode 6! Nice job Will

[@TreeCutterDoug]

That was GLORIOUS. I can only imagine how satisfied you.

[@lowreedman]

Nice to see it running. Congrats!

[@DougWyman]

Great to see it up and running. One of the fun parts of your videos is trying to read your chalk board sayings and comments. Never stop learning. Never stop evolving. Good Job young man Good job!

[@bobthebike7538]

That theeeuuiippppp noise as it takes up the strain? That will never go old

[@Krisszhu1990]

Sitting in front of a damn screen and being proud of a guy from across the world is a weird feeling, still I'm proud of you :D

[@Zap_q]

you know ace hardware, always comin through when you need them most ;)

[@joshhonomichl1984]

Nice work. Can’t wait to see what you make with it!

[@SunnnyDay]

Heck of a job ! Better than when it was first manufactured, no doubt, and will improve again when it's tuned. Congratulations !!!

[@martinm3474]

Your welds look better than the fellow that used to be working around you. I haven't red head since 1975, bring back memories.

[@chrisdresen4823]

Congratulations on your project completion, she's a great piece of equipment!
