Chambersburg Air Hammer Forging Wedgeblade

[graffitiballz]

the fucking material is bending up because he's drawing the material back at a fucking angle

ooooo touchy, its a good job it can be heated up and straightened to take bend out of it.

10 out of ten 10 for observation tho

Na that'd be smaller than 300. Pete uses a 400 to swage eyebolts and its about twice that size

It's small because it is a utility hammer but it still has a 300 lbs head. It uses an outside source for its air. It originally ran on steam. A self contained hammer is usually much bigger.

What size compressor are you using for that? Even something that small would need a lot of air to power it

wow thats a massive forging job - what are we seeing made here, or are you just getting some excercise? :)

there is only one other video i have seen on youtube w/ a larger forging, it is a very large wheel rim (i cannot remember what they said it was for) about 12 feet in diameter, heated 4 feet at a time over a large coal fire and sledged' onto a form then lap welded. very cool stuff :)

It is actually part of a wedge blade. It is somewhat like a cross. You can probably find it in an image search. This piece is only 4" square stock being tapered down to approx. 2.5" I'll post more vids when we get more big projects in.

Nice hammer. Thats a 300? It looks smaller. Sweet action though. Thanks for posting, keep it up.
