So, while I already have a power hammer, i am tempted to give making a small one a shot. My current one hits nice and hard, but isnt that useful for thinner cross sections like in knives, so I kind of want to give making a small faster hitting one a shot. Based off of a tire hammer type setup, with a like 20ish lb hammer, probably using one of the many car axles I have.
Has anyone used a smaller faster hammer like that before? Any big issues I should watch for when designing?
Thanks for any input, I'm not set on building this, but I have a lot of the materials and think it's worth considering.
