Thanks for that, you've done an excellent job. Just wondering why you straighten the springs and did it affect the spring temper.

Thank you for your comment, from memory as I built this some years ago now I straightened them so that I got good travel through the rollers and as I adjusted them cold one at a time it didn’t seem to have any affect on the temper of the springs I’ve since had a change in my career path and no longer run my small forge and miss it terribly but I have no regrets

Hi Mark, I’m now living and working in Redditch and sadly gave up my workshop to assist in the family business, unfortunately due to changing energy requirements the family business was forced to close its doors so now I’m working with boats again and therefore the hammer is sat idle in my garage !! I love working with the boats so it’s not all bad , good luck with the build 👍👍

Belfield Farrier & Blacksmithing hi 👍🏻 The bearings came from Eric’s Bristol although I think they are a huge multi national company also supplied the housings/blocks from memory I think the shafts where stock size 30mm bright bar. Been so long since I built it I’ve forgotten exactly how I did parts of it. My career path has changed and it’s been sat at home in my garage for 3 1/2 years !! Good luck

Just outstanding design and work. Some details I noted is that the anvil is removable, so if you wanted to hammer curves especially in sheet metal with the convex side up, you could remove the anvil and put in place a bottom hammer that would allow making curved surfaces. The anvil for most work gives you a nice stable platform to move work around on, that's very useful. My only caveat there is I would have to buy an anvil, and they are not cheap, so in my case I would have to fashion the bottom hammer out of scrap. I was delighted to see the no-play round bar through bored bearing for the top hammer, most of these I've seen the top hammer moves all over the place making for inexact work and sometimes unintended bends/microfractures in the work. When I build mine I will copy yours to some extent; the change I will make, though, is to use a square or rectangular pipe for the vertical part of the top hammer through a four-piece bearing where the sides and front and back are all adjustable so that the top hammer cannot move anywhere but up and down. If there's a fault to your design, it's that the top hammer COULD rotate some - that probably doesn't cause a problem in real life, but I'd rather eliminate the possibility. Your frame is so much better than any I've seen before, absolutely massive and rigid without actually being all that much heavier; there's nothing like wider webs in steel for rigidity. Well done!!
