- Official Simple Little Life video of: Tool Time Tuesday - The Air Hammer.
I had a lot of questions from the Forge Vlog #2 video about the tool I used to cut the top of the propane tank off. So, here it is in it's own TTT video.

About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

Hat's off to all those that made and sent in pics of their own knives. Nice work!
(and thanks for having this segment for us to enjoy them). Inspirational.
really enjoy seeing them as well
Good video and thanks for taking the time to make it. I bought my first air hammer back when I was a kid but then it just sat there collecting dust because I didn't realize how it could be used and also because the tools it came with really weren't for things I worked on and I didn't realize that other ones were available. One day I was helping a mechanic friend do ball joints on his car. The disk was stuck on the hub. Out comes the air hammer with a flat hammer type end on the tool and in 30 seconds the disk comes off. The ball joints were stuck together - air hammer separated them in seconds. Bolt was rusted into a hole - air hammer took it out in seconds. I then realized that with the right tool on it an air hammer is pretty much only limited by your imagination and is now one of my most used tools. BTW- you can get a half way decent air hammer and the tools at HF for about $100 total. It won't be a long barrel Snap On with a chuck but for most people it will be more than all they will ever need
Love the sound effects!
Thanks for the video on the tool, very cool.
How does an air hammer compare to say a rotary hammer in hammer-only mode? I don't have air but wouldn't mind having some kind of hammer for automotive work. Obv different bits but I think I could grind the tips as needed.
I had seen an air hammer on a mechanic's vlog used to knock out a stud but had never envisioned one being used to cut open a propane tank. Nice!
Could you make a vid on material types, like different tang materials, handle/spacer materials and even pin materials?
Would love to see some videos on the construction/forging of the different tang types. Having just tried my first hidden tang from my usual full tang construction. Be interesting to see how you approach the different types.
Daniel Simpson agreed
I was just given a Husky air tool set with a 1/2" impact, 3/8 ratchet, air hammer, and die grinder... the air hammer n grinder are litte but i think they will work for whatever i would need
I'd love to hear your thoughts about damascus steel
Every time I turn around you are welding something. I have never welded and am thinking about getting into it. A Tool Time Tuesday on welding and suggestions about starting out would be appreciated.
I would like to see your buffing equipment! Love the video man!
Sweet, thanks for the idea! Much appreciated👍
could you do one about your portable band saw and blades you use and how you have set it up .cheers
hey my knife. thanks for showing it.
good job!
Did you ever get to try the air hammer on forging? I was watching this video wondering if it would work for that application myself. Thanks!
I use mine with the pointy tip for knocking out stucco
Did you even do any forging with this hammer ? I've started, and I like it, but I can't find much on the method.
Jeremy, not sure if you have ever done a TTT on different files. I was in looking the other day and knowledge of different file types was missing... what type of file does what type of job.... that kind of info would be awesome 😎
Astro makes a really nice air hammer for a couple hundred. Highly recommend. Also you can get quick change chuck for any air hammer.
Would like to hear more about your mig welder:) Im thinking to get one for myself, but smaller and cheaper, not sure what to look for. Maybe some ideas?
Also would be very nice if you could make a video explaining those last finishing touches especially on knife's spine/tang
Im a bit struggling in this area . Often my knives looks fine, but the spine and tang not so much..:/
Thanks.
harbor freight has a $12 hammer and a $5 adapter to not have to use the sketchy spring thing.... best value tool iv seen in a LONG time. it does WONDERS chewing out old flooring!
I just bought new one could u explain how it works...can we use electric with this
No so an air hammer uses compressed air from an air compressor
I just bought a Harbor Freight air hammer for $ 15 that worked quite well. Oddly, the tool attachment set for the hammer cost $ 60 at HF. Reminds me of computer printer sales where the printer is cheap but the toner is expensive.
Does anyone know if they sell an electric or battery powered air hammer tool similar to this one?
Air hammer chucks that retrofit old hammers are available for six bucks. Based on testing on the Torque Test Channel, SnapOn air hammers are way over priced for what you get.
he made the sound effect for every single tip when explaining uses for each 😂😂😂
Lmao My favorite part
I saw Lon Humphrey forging a finger guard with an air hammer on the ApostleP's channel. The videos title was "Bar to Brute."
Nice video helpful know
I know a tool! What is the best type of file to use on a file jig? I keep ripping chunks out of the knife on one side but not the other...
oh that's a bummer. But great idea for a video. What type are you using by the way?
That would be a marvelous idea for a video! I've been using a nicholson 12 inch bastard file. I'm starting to get the hang of it though. Cleaning up the bevel with sand paper and a block goes a long ways in helping!
I think as you continue to get into forging, it would probable be awesome to start talking about more smiting type of tools eg. (tongs, hammers, anvils, hardy tools.) I understand that you have a limited knowledge on these. Big dog Forge, and Alec Steele are great youtube references on these items. And Big dog sells pretty affordable tongs for beginners. I would start with tongs as you kind of need them with the forge, and hammers can be bought and modified pretty easily for forging purposes.
can you use that hammer to sink the bottom of an oil barrel drum?
Yes that's what I do
muito bom
Maybe find a way to mount that on an old drill press so you can hammer straight down and apply pressure with control for the forge. just a suggestion :-)
maybe you can mount it on some kind of support and use it like a mini power hammer
design a stand where the striking plate goes up and down to allow for the thickness of the material to fit under the hammer:))
The spring holds the tool or chisel in place and will not shoot out if put in correctly
Is Freight Tools & others ones cheaper ? I think so. I Google video about this tool cuzsaw in my email circilar sent, for I am signed up with rhem, but I have not been able to go in over a year almost. I wish you had the link for the knife on here instead. Please do so from now on, cuz I don't have time to email CZcams folks or anyone. I hate when they do that. I believe in being thorough with info to the fullest max & all details left, not left out. Nice video though.
What is that intro song ?
I have no idea.
I think Snap On makes good all around tools
got that right brother!
Simple little life, Jeremy, On your forge build why did you not leave the cut end cut and put a hinge on it . Just wondering on account that when you need to reline your forge you will need to cut it again in order to strip it and reline it. Do you plan on reaching forge welding temps? If so you may need to add another burner. Fyi if your propane tank starts to freeze up just put it is a barrel or a container of water. I rather like your videos and appreciate all of your content If there is anything I can help with feel free to contact me. By the way I commented on a great little power hammer that would not take up a lot of space in your shop it could be stored under a bench if need be. the video is on a you tube channel I watch called Christ centered ironworks the title of the video is hardy hammer. He sells blueprints for it and it looks easy enough to modify for a heavier hammer and probably not even need an anvil to mount it on. I suggest it because you are very good at fabricating and I am confident that this tool will be an amazing addition for your beginning into the art of blacksmithing/bladesmithing. As always great video I am excited for you to start forging blades. You will wonder why you didn't do this earlier. Sincerely, Martin Moldovan at M/S Blacksmithing and Blades USA
The chuck is removable. They sell them separately.
I just bought an Ingersoll rand air hammer for $59 off Amazon Sep of 2020
The backyard scientist did a vid on a blacksmith myth and they had a big machine that was a auto hammerer
it will smooth the metal more than move it. just go ahead and build a power hammer, you can do it.
Agreed. Space may be an issue, as well as shock absorption, but a 25 lb. trip-hammer wouldn't be too hard to scratch-build.
How about a 2x72 belt vid 2.0
Make a stand for it with a pedal. I'm sure you've seen them and it would free up your hands to control the work piece. Just what you wanted, right? Make another tool to use a tool, to make stuff....never ends :-)
hey! that's a good idea!
And, you nailed the way that "garage life" works. A vicious cycle😆
I have quite a few sets of plans from Matthias Wandel and project ideas once I get them done....It's fun making tools, but it's also fun actually using tools. I want to make a 2x72 but haven't had the time. I have 1095 and A2 stock but keep watching forge videos....the cycle truly never stops.
saying trrr helps?
So it's basically a hand held jack hammer.
Hahahaha yup 👍
When you start forging you should try the air hammer. At this moment of me typing this comment he said he would try it. That's so weird
Hi Jeremy, another great Tool Time Tuesday, you said about using the air hammer for possibly forging hot steel, but it might be a bit awkward, well I guess you aint seen this adaption before.

I hope this gives you a little inspiration, just like you have given to all of us.
Keep up the great work
Cheers
Air hammer forging {you mean blacksmithing}? "A little...crazy?" Yeah. How about a little BLASPHEMOUS!? :)
Im First!!! 10 sek!!!
Hornzen Er Best!! ah I was guns say that haha
hahaha! Cheers👍
$620 for an air hammer, and a few bits.. You could but ten to fifteen setups at hf for that price..
There should be no question as to why so many American companies are going under..
That's a well crafted beautiful tool for sure, but the price just can't be justified for their products
g If being used daily or hard usage, they almost justify the cost. It is expensive no doubt.
with all your 30 sec. mandatory ads before every video, it's time to block you. So annoying!
