Hey I'll take the powerhammer for $85 PLEEEEEEEEEZ. Throw in a couple of those hawks too while you are at it Stuart.

 

[Stuart Willis]

Thanks Sam I appreciate the Offer,but I'm going to have to decline they all are priceless to me. Mainly because if a part breaks you just run the hardware,junk pile or the welder and your back in business.

I like the spare tire flywheel on the power hammer. I would have thought a GMC v8 flywheel would have been used for that.

The top small wheel is a bearing roller. I think they use them on conveyor systems

Will ,This was the 1st tire hammer that was made. It was the idea of a friend of mine, Ray Clontz. The tire part was just sketched on a napkin at a blacksmith meeting. Another friend of mine Butch Silver and I build two from
Ray's idea with no measurements or anything. Since, Clay spencer has come up with plans and is selling them. They upgraded them quiet bit and are little more technical,but I have been using mine for about 7 years now with out any problems.
Tire hammer plans can purchased by contacting Clay Spencer
