The powerhammer is made!!

 One of the biggest jobs on my to do list is finally been ticked off and that was to reassemble the powerhammer. I spent the week organizing several people to give me a hand on the friday building this beast back together again. There was only me and one other friend of mine there who helped take it apart in the first place to bring it to the workshop, remembering how to put it back together was very interesting. The first task we had was to build a sand box for the sleeper to sit in as it was uneven the sand box would help even it on the floor. We built it out of old scaffolding planks as it didn't need to be overly thick, once the sleeper was placed into the sandbox we began the mammoth job of building the hammer back together.  

There were five major components to this hammer the frame, the arm, the anvil, the wheel and the pedal as it had been nearly a month since we dismantled it we had to think carefully which order the pieces came off.  

The anvil being the heaviest piece of the puzzle was not fun to move around, I called in some extra muscle to help me move  the anvil on to the sleeper. As you can see it was not as easy as it looks.

There was alot of parts being moved and taken back off again for other parts and so on but even with the few hiccups we had we still got the hammer built by the end of the day all it needs now is a new motor and it'll be reborn again!! I thank everyone who gave their time to give me a hand putting it together. It was a long day and I am very grateful and it was an experience I'll never forget !..!,
