Hand hammering will always be king but health and wellbeing comes first. This will extend your career at least 20 years.

I think a combination of machine assisted hammering & hand hammering is awesome, as it gives you the cymbal smith the best of both worlds. Also, the fact that you can get different heads for the machine gives you even more flexibility to make great sounding cymbals. It will open up whole new ideas of expression for you, Timothy, and I trust you'll use this device creatively!

Very interesting. The process seems to me like it's still closer to being hand hammered than not since you're still handling each cymbal and controlling the hammer action. Excited to hear about what's coming!

@@JerroldKavanagh yeah there’s still so much skill needed to properly operate the hammer.

Very excited for your announcements on new lines and lower price points. I have no doubt you will maintain the quality. It reminds me of the process that Paiste still uses by machine hammering but an artisan is operating it and controlling all of it manually. Very cool and stoked to see and hear what you make!

Excited to hear your new direction with your three endeavors! Honestly, if I were in your position, I would just announce that my cymbals are now assisted with machine hammering and are no longer purely hand hammered. After making thousands of cymbals, if you can’t hear the difference yourself, then there doesn’t seem to be much value in purely hand hammered, except a weird kind of bragging rights. Keep your prices up, use that machine hammer, and just be able to offer more cymbals of the same high quality, but faster. You work hard, you deserve a couple bucks this change could represent!

Very interesting watching the power hammer. I appreciate the insight you offer to your shop, I could watch all day and be totally entertained. As far as cymbals the b20 bronze is the only absolute for my taste. I have both machine and 100% HH on my kits

its all a matter of taste, taste is subjective, does not matter if its hand or machine hammered, as long as it sounds good to my ears it sounds good.

Kudos to you! Very proud and much respect to you to create better cymbals. By the way, have you heard about the bumping process Sabian uses to lift and flatten their hand hammered cymbals before the HH process. Btw very cool video!

a hammer is a hammer, whether you hold it in your hand or it is huge and red. what people fear with "machined" cymbals is really "automated manufacturing", by which I mean you put a hunk of metal in one end, finished cymbal appears some time later at the other end, you bag it and ship it. But, for you, even if you use that awesome red hammer, your eyes and ears are constantly on that cymbal, and you fine tune it with your smaller hammer at the end. Save your precious joints, and make cymbals for a long time!

The next chapter starts here!! ....that machine is an amazing score!! 😉👍 The melding of machine and hand hammering is gold!. Your new cymbal lines will have you and your assistant plenty busy!. I've seen this kind of machine used for other types of metal work, and it' definitely not a matter of, step on the pedal and you're done. Learning how to finesse your foot like your hand can be even more difficult..............one side note: the degree of safety needed when using this kind of machine can't be understated!. It makes me think of the English wheel used in metal work. Those things scare me!

I see you’re using concentric circles still. I feel like, especially with this autohammer, it makes more sense to use the traditional turkish style where you go back and forth from bell to brim, circling around slower Edit: i see you do that on the second go around

I wonder if it would help to have a swing arm to mount the blank on through the center hole. This could make it easier to rotate the blank independent of any in-out adjustment.
