I recently attended a workshop to construct a power hammer held by the blacksmith association of which I am a member. The group constructed 19 hammers basically in three weekends. Each attendee got a hammer for the cost of materials. A Mr. Clay Spencer sells the plans and also gives workshops.
The last I heard he was relocating to Alabama so I don't have his address.
Google Clay Spencer Power Hammer and you may find him.
The unit weighs about 700 pounds, is driven by a 1 HP motor through a friction drive. It can deliver from up to almost 300 strokes a minute depending upon how far the foot control pedel is depressed.
I hope this helps you find something. |
