This simple DIY treadle hammer is great for those who need an extra hand in the shop. There are PDF plans for this treadle hammer available at my website www.blacksmithpdfs.com for $8.

This homemade treadle hammer is especially helpful for setting welds in drop the tong applications. It can be customized in some senses (ie: using larger sledgehammers, longer handles to achieve more force, etc.). There are two height settings on this hammer, for general forging or for using tooling with it. This hammer is also very space conscious for the guy who smiths out of his garage. It's designed easily enough for the beginner fabricator or avid do it yourself-er.
Below is the details outlined in the video:
This step hammer is not only cheap and quick to build. I fabricated this machine in under four hours. It cost me about $150 USD in materials. As you can see, it uses a very simple but effective two sledge hammer design that includes two height settings. One setting is for forging and the other setting is for top tooling. This design can be modified for larger sledge hammers, and longer handle lengths (based upon need).
This video includes an overview of the mechanical workings. This treadle hammer is great for two handed operations such as setting welds.
We have professional plans made up for this at our website www.blacksmithpdfs.com for $8 USD. It is a document download in PDF format.
