        Looks awesome! I'm finishing my forge today and should have it fired up this afternoon. Maybe this will be my next project!

          Hope to get the whole thing minus the drive train assembled this weekend. Pics eventually, lol. Next weekend will be motor, drive linkage, and tuning.

            If you watched the most recent forged in fire, on elf the people had this exact power hammer in their shop

                Is that the one that blew apart mid stroke or was that a different episode? One of the finalists were using his home built hammer when it went kaput.

                  It was this weeks episode. I am pretty sure it broke at one point. The only reason I saw it was because I saw this thread and the spring.

                    Worked on the top of the center upright, to get the pivot in place for the leaf springs. All recycled/used/scrounged materials so far.



                    Closer look at the pivot.

                        The hammer ram goes up and down inside a guide. That’s the “guided” part of the guided helve hammer. Inside the guide will be UHMW plastic, adjustable with screws. Lots of tapping in 1/4” thick tubing with 3/8” tap.

                          Here’s the roller assembly that will transfer the curved path of the helve spring into a straight up and down guided hammer head.

                            Here’s the other end of the hammer head. Made for interchangeable heads in case I want to try different die shapes.



                            Also built die plates for the anvil top. That way I can change the die or angle there as well.

                              Got the base plate screwed to the RR tie base last night. I also have most of the pieces ready to assemble on the base. Got bearings in the mail yesterday, and the motor should arrive tomorrow. Went with a 1.5 HP 1750 RPM motor and 3" drive wheel, which should end up around 218 beats per minute. I'll still have to fabricate the wheel once the round stock arrives later this week. Still lack the treadle and motor mount, but the design and fab there shouldn't be much, an hour or two. It'll be a hard push this weekend. If I can get it together on Saturday and work out the kinks on Sunday, that'll be perfect. Just as likely I'll fall a little short.
