building a mechanical forging hammer

Very Cool! Nicely done. :thumbsup: Let us know how it works.
 
Nice work. What type of steel did you use for the the anvil and hammer pieces?

The Anvil started as a large piece of semi less pipe. The hammer was a piece of scrap steel that I got out of the scrap yard. The actual faces for the anvil and hammer are just hot rolled steel that was machined to the proper size. The tooling is made from s-7 steel and heat treated. Sorry for taking so long to answer. I have been busy with building the hydraulic forging hammer and installing dro's and a 6 jaw self centering chuck on my lathe.
