Hey Fellas, I think there's some confusion going on here: If a material such as steel is hardened it becomes stornger in BOTH Tension and Shear. A quick look...

This might seem silly, but I would just use Gr. 8 hardware. If it's from an reputable manufacturer such as Allen, you are guaranteed hardness and tensil...

Just to make sure, is everyone in agreement that in this discussion the bumper positioning is only reducing the amount of "over travel"? In other words, at...
Peter, My viewpoint; for the moment is (at very low speeds) - yes. Above that, the function is still open for discussion in my mind. I don't have enough...
Remember that rubber absorbs energy, while a spring returns virtually all of the energy stored in it. The Bashore resilience is the percent rebound of a steel...
Richard, I have oversped my blacksmith hammer to the point that it would not hit. The head would just quiver up and down a fraction of its travel. The cycling...
Bob, Richard, Good stuff. Today I learned a fair bit about rubber - thanks. That allows me to think differently about things. The missing bits can really...

Sir Dick, That is an EXCELLENT point! Unless the fastener has something "good" to attach to - everything else is pointless. Some EXCELLENT guidlines can be...

Bob: I ran into that also when I built my helve hammer, so I kept shortening the effective length of the leaf spring, which stiffened the spring. That...
Hi Corey, I have never seen a helve hammer work.I assume that some of the helve-arm's energy is stored in the spring.The spring would be pushing the arm upward...
This is just from looking at and listening to my hammer run, it may not be true. When it's running and not touching the bumper, about a 5 or 6 in. stroke it...
