Power hammers

That's killer. I like the anvil arrangement we discussed, 6 round around a central slightly longer one, and save 150 lb. chunk for the ram!

Just like this.

Criminy!!!! What would that weigh? 2000 lbs?

Just the round stock is 1550lbs not including the plates and dies. This will give me a 150lb hammer with a 1:10 ratio. Or a 100lb hammer with a 1:15 ratio.

Do you have any concerns about the rounds not "tying together?"

Salem had a good idea of spacing them out and just tacking 3 on place. Then remove the other 3 and weld the first 3 up to the center core. Then put the other 3 back and weld those to the others. Then the top and bottom plate will get plug welded to each bar and around each bar and then around the center post.. thinking it will be sold enough after that.

Is the central one passing through the top plate?

 

[JTknives]

Yes the center anvil is longer so it has a direct line to the base.
