home made power hammer

[Kevin]

I found this link.

They made a power hammer for less than $100!!

It can be built bigger to make it heavier and give more power.

Efficient looking tools too.

Look to be easily enough built as well, as long as you can weld/have access to a welder. Very useful link:)

A friend has just done its model :

You'll find Rusty, super rusty, dusty ... several names for variations on the same system.

:D

Good link, thanks :)

I did think about making a treadle hammer, but buying plans in the US is a bit tricky if they don't take internet payment.

Daniel Gentile based his Crusty on the Rusty. He has mpegs showing it working.

I'd like to see the clutch.
