Destructive testing with a custom hammering machine
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: @ttracingYT
If you want to conduct intelligent strength testing, then you need a suitable testing tool. I didn’t have one, but after I saw a video from Fireball Tool, I knew exactly how to make a good one. In this video, I take you through my automatic hammering machine. How it works, how to put it together, and how to use it in two different modes of operation.
