While a hammer candlestick pattern signals a bullish reversal, a shooting star pattern indicates a bearish price trend. Shooting star patterns occur after a stock uptrend, illustrating an upper shadow. Essentially the opposite of a hammer candlestick, the shooting star rises after opening but closes roughly at the same level of the trading period. A shooting star pattern signals the top of a price trend.
Hi guys looking for opinions here. There is a sale 3 hrs or so from me this weekend and in it is a 50lb Modern power hammer single phase 3 horse motor on a additional steel plate , from a quick phone conversation with the older gentleman having the sale sounds like it is in operational shape plug and play so to speak. One cool feature is the ability to adjust the blow while it is running not sure how usable but sounds good. Price is 3K and the sale is first come first served. I have been looking into hammers for years so I am relatively familiar with the designs and capabilities of the more common mechanical hammers and the basics on the pnumatics as well. For me space/foot print nor height is a issue in my shop , foundation may need to be addressed my shop floor is possibly a 6"+ reinforced slab originally intended for farm maintinance on tracked and wheeled equiptment, so not light weight garage floor but not a 2-3 ft foundation either. There is some info out on the web/forumns about this hammer but not a lot. I am looking for a hammer to use in general blacksmithing ,blade work, stock reduction, pattern welding billets drawing ect.
$3k is a very reasonable price for a working power hammer! Esp. a 50lb. It has some big bolt holes in the base. I'd either pour a base with 4 threaded rods sunk in so you can bolt it down. You could get crazy with the base, but it might not need much. That hammer fortunately keeps its rotating mass low, instead of on top of the column like a Little Giant. So I think it won't rock around like they do. It might want to rock on the other axis though.
Hey Chris, tell us more! Are you forging with it? How's it work? Post a vid! You Have not finished with your obligatory crowing, in my opinion...
Some folks get a hammer and can't shut up about it, you my friend are the opposite.
By the way, it was cool talking to you and your wife at the show!
Salem , I do kinda have to get poked to get me to talk much, to used to living in a blade/blacksmithing wasteland with no one to talk to I guess. I have neglected this tread so to rectify that her we go with my power hammer story.
That Saturday morning the adventure started before 4am and hitting the road before 4:30 for the 3 plus hour trip to NE Oregon for a shop sale advertised online. Mostly hit and miss engine stuff and a bit of blacksmithing equiptment. Got there early immagining everyone lining up to buy the power hammer! Waited till opening at 8am headed straight for the hammer. Asked a ton of questions looked close at just about every part, ran it a bit smashing a oak 2x4 easily. I made a offer and I got to mark it sold. It should be a 50lb head weight , 3hp single phase motor , all mounted on a 1" piece of plate steel. Runs good, clutch and break are great, dies are good for now, 2 old breaks brazed long ago and looks to be holding fine I'll be watching them closely. Interesting feature with this guided helve is a adjustable pivot to allow light to heavy blows while running, more on that later with pictures. I am a manufacturing guy by day so first thing I do is reverse engineer just about everything to see how it was put together. With this hammer it is built up of many smaller castings bolted to the base or main pillar with a seperate anvil. I immagine this kept casting costs much lower as well as allowing it to be shipped easier in a smaller footprint and assembled on site. Each piece has a unique number cast in you can see them in the following detail pics. I would love to see the assembly instructions that came with the hammer !
[Loading the hammer for the trip home went relatively smooth as the owner had a forklift available to use. I was a bit nervouse as he used alot smaller chain than I would have considered but at that point it was still his hammer and I have always defered to my elders unless it was a obvious safety concern. He lifter it out of it's home in his shop and all seemed good so I went with it.
Took a week to get it unlaoded and set into a temp location in my shop My buddy down the road with a drill rig truck was able to come over and lift and palce it right where I wanted it! Good to have friends with heavy equiptment. The waiting was driving me nuts and I was contemplating many different ways of unlaoding waiting for a responce if the drill rig was available to help. So off the flatbed it rises! it is a bit nerve racking seeing that expensive and breakable of a purchase in mid air.
And I wired it with a old industrial switch(that came off my 4" olympic square wheel grinder) mounted to the flat belt support post so I was not using the breaker as the on off switch. Have to clean it up and paint it but it should blend in with the rest of the hammer.
Hammer, motor and 1" plate it sits on weigh in @ 2200lbs. Sitting on the mat and oak boards it doesnt seem to want to move or walk at all. Sadly I have barely gotten to use it as other projects have taken precedent. We had a wild fire last july that got into the attic of the single story addition to the house so with no contractors wanting the job I have basically rebuilt/remodelled that section of the house. Hung the last piece of sheetrock monday so hopefully more shop time soon. Of course I now have plans to remodel the shop as well and a buddy and I are salvaging a building for the lumber and materials so ...... with all of that and a ton of cabinets and cubicle desktops I go for free from work I will be really well set up after all of this effort

Traditional live automotive auctions are led by an auctioneer who uses their fast-talking presentation skills and wooden gavel to keep the flow of cars moving across the block. As the auctioneer announces ever-climbing prices based on bidder interest, the close of the auction is signaled by the slamming of a gavel or wooden hammer. This exciting tradition represents the end of an auction, and is usually followed by the announcement of the lucky winner. The last price called out during the frenzy of bidding is called the hammer price.
Every field has its specific terminology, and auction houses are no exception. Whether you're an aspiring auctioneer, an interested bidder, or simply a curious spectator, understanding auction terminology will help you understand and navigate auctions more confidently. Here are some essential terms to help you understand the auction process from beginning to end.
A formal evaluation of the fair market and/or insurance value of a given property. Fair market value represents what the auction house believes an item would bring at auction. Insurance value reflects what it would cost to replace an item. A Valuations department conducts appraisals by comparing a piece with similar, recently sold works, but no appraisal is definitive. You do not need a formal written appraisal in order to obtain a presale auction estimate.
The amount by which the auctioneer increases the bidding. In general, the auctioneer will request bids of about 10% higher than the previous bid. The figure is generally rounded up or down at the auctioneer's discretion.
Factual information about a lot offered for sale, such as the name of the artist or maker, a detailed description of the object, the year of its creation, its provenance (history of its ownership), major exhibitions in which it has appeared and publications in which it has been documented.
Each lot is given a low and high estimate, representing the opinion of experts about the range in which the lot might sell at auction. Estimates are based on the examination of an item and recent auction records of comparable pieces. Published in online and printed catalogues, an estimate provides prospective buyers with an important preliminary guide to value and is generally the basis for establishing the reserve price.
In rare cases, an auction house will guarantee to pay a consignor for a lot, regardless of whether the bidding at auction reaches the reserve price. The guarantee may be provided by the auction house, by a third party or jointly by the auction and a third party. Third parties providing all or part of a guarantee benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.
