I did something even crazier for these type of items I had a friend of mine good at welding make me a stand to weld the jack hammer to that I bought on clist for $25 use a 1 1/4in thick steel plate with a round stock welded to it so that the point bit was welded in it so its a flat surface then what I call the sand box which is just heavy stock walls on a bigger steel plate and a hard to explain this will have to post pics when I can but its a flip cover that its on hinges that has a slit in it so that I can pull the box up to it and flit it down over the rig and plate not just for safety but so that things just do fly out everywere and I just load it up turn it on and smash smash smash its crazy loud and fun but needs welded about every few weeks to keep it strong with so much crushing and vibrations

There is a button above whatever thread your reading, a big red one that says subscribe. I'll go ahead an assume it'll email you a notification if someone posts in it.

Or I could just be crazy an seeing things.

Honesty.. its not worth doing it, I've done the math, and came up with this... Throw it in the junk board pile and let the machine do the work,

If You want to break them down, Tell You what.. You can buy my 2500lbs worth of these but I want 35 cents per pound.. that is what I'm getting back on these.

so Time with Your family.. Like I'm or bust your mind and get very little back in the long run and less time with your other projects.

Good luck in your adventure.

The flyback of an old tv with rotary tuners looked like a few sledge hits would knock it apart. The plastic is thick but brittle. With more daylight I'll finish hitting it and have a few rings of copper. The other flybacks in the bucket are probably too new, but hitting things with a big hammer is not a waste of time.
