Tire Hammer Build

It is finally complete!
In this video i hope to answer alot of questions that i had when i embarked on this journey. Some parts of the hammer is pretty straight forward but there are other parts or "concepts" that takes a while to figure out. My hope is to ease the struggle of figuring out what the different parts do and how they work. Remember that you can always pause and go back to look at different parts and copy and/or imporve what i did.

Good luck!

You're a good man and people should tell you that every day

Nils - I love this vid. Love that you're a humble guy who's making a point of explaining the problems you encountered and how you solved them -- that education element is super helpful! I've been wanting to build one of these and your video explained more of what I actually need to know than any other I've yet found. You have a like and a new SUB. Keep up the inspired work.

Thank you Nils, I'm a scrap hound myself and I am currently rounding up parts for my own hammer . Thanks again for the incite, also looking at forging some axes and enjoy your vids on making axes .

Great video. The one thing I would love a better explanation on is exactly how the spring is attached. It’s the one thing I find is rarely explained

Great video Nils! Would be great to see how the hammer holds up over time. Keep us updated🙂👍

Great video and great build. Also, congratulations in giving such a complex description in a second language. Brilliant and thank you.

The beauty of being a metal worker is we can build and modify things to how we want them to work. I have a mountain of tools that most people wouldn't even be able guess what they're for, some were built for one single job and are waiting to be repurposed for something else. Love the video man, can't wait to build my own.

So the wood is a sort of "shock absorber" to prevent cracks in the concrete. The only issue I see, it will get wet, or moisture and could rot away over a short period. Then you have to replace it and this looks not like fun at all. You will have to lift that whole construct.
But it looks fantastic. It works like a charm from the videos and pictures I saw.
Can't wait to have my own some day.

Nice Job Nils I know thats going to make you work a lot easier

[jasonbelanger]

Your English is very good, even though I can see you sometimes having to think about the word you want to use. I'm a native speaker from Canada, and I know people born and raised here and in the States who don't speak as well as you do. Congrats on a fierce little hammer and excellent language skills :)

A power-hammer seems somehow more attainable now. New subscriber here, thanks for posting!

Awesome video Nils, been waiting for this since you first posted it to instagram.

Great video! I especially like the use of scrap. One recommendation is that you use triangles to reinforce your I-beam...not the simple cross braces that you have now.

[Zogg]

That is a cracking little hammer! I hope she serves you well 👍

[ajknives]

I just build a own beltgrinder and I have often the same feelings like you describe

[Kratos_God_of__BMG]

Incredible job! It's great to see the process that you took and how things worked out for you in the end. 😁👍🏽
