I'll be there. It will be my son's first car show so I'll likely be there in my late model instead of a hot rod.
I can't make it because I've got family in town this weekend. My shop is only a few blocks from Torchy's so I could host a future meet-up if...
My pleasure, I felt bad that everyone drove so far only to drive home in a downpour! If was nice meeting everyone and glad to see the spirit of...
I'll be there in my '37 pickup.
I'll be there... That's only a few blocks from my house so I can walk home if my jalopy breaks down! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Sam, Looks like a cool show, but due to previous commitments I cant make it. Good luck with everything and I hope the turnout is huge!...
I'm in if I'm in town that weekend - just let me know when. I live in the Heights and would recommend Chilosos Taco House which is on 20th...
Not close to you, but they did an excellent job on the glass for my '37 that was chopped. On the northside off of 1960....
We moved downtown a few years ago because the commute was too bad - just getting around to finally building a shop that should be done in a couple...
I'm down Richard - just let me know when and where. I'm getting ready to break ground on a new shop in The Heights and could host something later...
Wow - that does not sound like much fun chilidog. Get well soon!!
You have a PM!
I'm glad I made the trip down from the big city - next time let's do it a little closer to Houston! Someone post up some pics.
I've been doing some work up in new jersery and working on an old house we bought in the heights so there hasn't been much hot rod time lately....
Heater - what's that? I think the wifey and I can at least make the lunch.
I'm in Princeton.
I'll be at the swap meet. I'm up in central jersey for a few months on an assignment for work and am having withdrawl. I had to leave all my tools...
I've got family in town this weekend so hopefully I can sneak out for a few hours!!! It sounds like a good time.
Wow - I missed the biggest turnout of the year! Any decisions yet on the reliability run?
I picked up a '39 coupe last weekend and am anxious to tear into it. If it gets too hot in the garage on sunday to work on it I'll be there!!
I did the article on the pullmax and I would like to thank everyone that voted for me. Thanks to Baileigh for putting up some kick-ass prizes for...
I'm up for change. I don't mind the darkhorse, but there is not really any shade - especially during the middle of the afternoon. An evening...
The rpm seems pretty good for shrinking, but I have yet to experiment with it. My beats per minute is close to the Dake power hammer. It runs a...
Here is a video for those who asked. This clip is of the outer pass of shrinking. The hammer is surprisingly quiet - the whine of the v-belt is...
I've been too busy at work to get any 4x8 pieces of sheet metal, so I used a small piece of scrap to demonstrate making a bowl shape. The...
Agreed - I've seen some very nice hammers built with nothing more than a welder, drill press, and chop saw.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. This was built more out of necessity than anything else. My wife bet me $1000 at the roundup this year...
Here is my entry for Tech Week... how to build a Pullmax-style hammer. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=377457
As promised here are the drawings and BOM. I'm not sure they are 100% accurate, but they should be pretty damn close. I was kind of creating...
Step 6: Driveshaft I decided to use a 1/8 offset in the shaft which will give the power hammer a 1/4" stroke. I thought about making the stroke...
