Backyard Black Smithing With A Home Built Power Hammer

Characters like MacGyver and the fellas from Mythbusters continue to inspire, for one very specific reason. They think through a problem and create a solution. By painting their way out of a corner, clever ideas resolve an issue at hand or help to further expand their quiver of tools.

Ingenuity comes in many forms and creating your own tools is a particular fascination of ours. When it comes to metal, we are all ears and hands in this scenario. Have a look at this video about a home made black smith power hammer. Did you ever think about making an engine block for a table stand? Yep, we sure have many times and even made one. Below is also a fabrication table made from the crankshaft of the donor engine we bought. These guys upped the ante and for that clever solution and we salute you.
