The Hardy Hammer

This homemade power hammer is the world’s first anvil mounted power hammer that is both portable and handicap accessible. I’ve affectionately named it The Hardy Hammer, because it sits in the anvil’s hardy hole. 
​
I created this homemade power hammer with the part time blacksmith in mind. You only need a limited amount of tooling to complete this project (such as welder, drill press, and  angle grinder with cutting and grinding accessories). The plans are professionally made and include measurements, individual part lists, and exploded diagrams. View additional specifics below. 

Purchase the plans below for $15. The plans include both imperial (US) and metric measurements. You will find the metric measurements in the plans with parenthesis around them, for example ( ).

​***We now have a REVISITED version of the Hardy Hammer for $25 that includes the complete Hardy Hammer plans PLUS additional plans for a bottom die holder with interchangeable dies. We have a video featuring this revisited version forging tongs, which you can view on the right hand side. ***
