When I was a senior high schooler back in the 60s a town called Chambersburg had the Chambersburg Engineering hammer Co. I went on a tour twice through tat plant. I will never forget it.

This clearly illustrates that there's a whole lot more to successfully using a power hammer than just banging the heck out of a piece of hot steel. The adjustments clearly make a big difference, and of course the time learning how much pressure to put on the foot pedal. Thanks!

Shop tours are awesome, thanks for bringing us along!

Thanks for the tour. I've had my big blue 65 for several years now, and I've gotten to the point where I can't imagine life without it. The folks there at Big Blue are good people, and great to deal with, they are always very helpful if you need them.

This makes me miss my old job. I got the 182 pound trenton anvil as part of my severance package.

I’d sell every piece of equipment in my shop before running one of these machines in my studio.

Great video. I bought a 110 from them in the mid 2000's and it was a well tuned machine and easy to do the fine stuff too. I highly recommend getting the clamping option which is great for twisting your Damascus. Yep. 👍💯🤠

I'm going to buy something I just don't know what yet. I'm leaning more towards the press I'm not sure

Being a blacksmith whit 26 years of experience, I say this is someting that you can workwhit, But running a 10hp compressor and all those frimmels of valves, hoses and vulnerable parts, then I think it is much cheaper to get one of those cheap chinese air hammers. It will be much cheaper in the long run, with fewer repairs.

@rickolson1738 5 месяцев назад

well done! i do have an unrelated question though. i am about to try and make a few knives. and if i like how they come out. i'm looking at cerakoting them. will the temper be effected by the heat treatment in the cerakote process?

@Boosted98gsx 5 месяцев назад

They're great machines until that bottom die holder inevitably fails, potentially shooting a die across your shop.

@sunnybeach9145 5 месяцев назад

I like the idea of factory tours… but it may take a different style of planning, production, and editing.

@White_devil1980 5 месяцев назад

Are you going to be getting a blu power hammer Walter? Hopefully your hydraulic press wouldn’t get jealous 😭

@HammerSmashedFace92 5 месяцев назад

Did u even watch the video?

@HoldFastMarine 5 месяцев назад

Good video. Kinda. Audio was awful, filming was so, so. Right? Right? Right? That guy was annoying to listen to. I enjoy your videos, this one missed the mark for me. I know, filming yourself vs filming other people is tricky.
