  • Will’s “NOOOOOOOO” is still engrained into my brain. Please don’t try to move this with a pallet Jack.
  • Only a select few will ever truly know the pain of a stuck key on a power hammer.
  • @Vault57
    4:18 All of the various gasket materials are likely to be asbestos containing. Remember, don't grind, saw, or sand any of them. Use your fancy respirator when cleaning the old gaskets or conditioning faces where gaskets go. And yes, those gaskets look like all the other ones I have seen that were known to be asbestos.
  • @aq9415
    6:21 Please take resonable care with gaskets if there is a chance they could be asbestos.

    I'm impressed with how that pin resisted a blacksmith with a sledge hammer for so long. Looking at the spalling/smearing on the pin, it had effectively welded itself in place.
  • The vast majority of people will never understand how good it feels to get something that should move, but won’t move, to move…
  • @Zogg1281
    10:20 "I'm going to sleep on all of that" ........ that is going tk be really uncomfortable!!!! 😂
  • @ivarsson89
    Looking forward to a classic Alec 42 part series 😍
  • @Gantzz321
    should look into getting a SMOKE tester, you can pump smoke into areas to test for leaks or early on here just see what areas connect internally.
  • @codybates2419
    Awesome to see a big project like this. Always love the restoration of old tools like this.
  • @laszlofyre845
    I was born and raised about 150 yards from Masseys works. I can still hear the and feel the low frequency thumping and vibrations from the works on nights, as I lay in bed at nigh, when I was about 3. The heartbeat of industrial east Manchester, now stilled for all time.That hammer would only have travelled a similar distance to Armstrongs works too.

    "Hi, my name is Alec and I have a power hammer addiction" 115 years old.. wow. Man I wish stuff like this could talk. What a project and a piece. Good luck :)
  • @JossWaddy
    30 seconds in and I'm excited for the project. Can we all just give huge thanks for Alec's headlong hubris that makes him take on these bonkers projects and entertain us. Thank you sir. I am fully locked in for all the blood sweat and tears involved in getting this antique restored to working order.
  • @benfisher119
    Most importantly, that was Trev who dropped it off with you. Worked with him back in Sheffield, top guy.
  • @KhaosSN
    Gotta love pure Alec chaos of smashing the bar into the pin, that was hilarious!
  • @blurboards1
    Looking forward to this one. I love the machine restoration videos. Be careful grinding or creating particulates, lead and asbestos are not your friend.
  • @10:10 🤣😂😅 I just had an image of that behemoth sitting on your front lawn in a brown robe, Cargemel-like, with dozens of Smurfs squashed flat and bloody all around
  • I always get nervous when there is a heavy power hammer being craned about.
  • That marking on top of the piston in the top chamber is from the scotch key that prevents the piston from unscrewing from the shaft, coming unscrewed and getting smashed by said piston, there'll be a bunch of marking on the underside of the cylinder head
  • @torbjornahman
    Cool! A lot of work, but I'm sure you will pull that off. However you will need a monster compressor to run it!!
