The  video file clip attached  below (same as the YouTube version above) was too large to embed and is therefore presented here for download. The format is a common .3gp codex that Smartphones or Tablets will be able to view.

Click the link below to download a phone or tablet compatible video of the work on a new forged table from Daisy Hill Forge.  The table is only  part way finished, but the video will give an idea of the amount of work involved in building one using traditional blacksmith methods.

If you are using a tablet or smartphone to access www.DaisyHillForge.com and this post you might be able to run the video directly from the website.  By using a tablet to access the website and clicking on the link I had the option, and chose, to run the video with a video player app already on the tablet. It worked!

This is Jennifer’s recently acquired Anyang power hammer. It’s now re-assembled, connected to power and operational. The Anyang hammer will open up many new capabilities for Jennifer and her Daisy Hill Forge operations. This hammer will make it possible to hammer out much thicker steel, much quicker than anything that could be accomplished by hand.

Anyang is the world’s largest manufacturer of this type of machinery. Anyang employs 6000 workers world wide. This particular hammer has a 55 pound head weight and is powered by air from a built-in compressor. The compressor gives the head incredible striking power and amazing striking control.

The shop floor was already cracked and it was decided to get the hammer up and running for now and plan on creating a new foundation at a later time.
