Steam Engine + Steam Hammer + Toy Caps = FUN

Finally got around to 'Bustin Caps' using my steam driven trip hammer.
Literally was a blast and did enjoy myself immensely

I must admit that I haven't seen any of the Toy Caps since my Youth ....

[Grateful Ted]

Well done Jim!
Almost into the Rube Goldberg machine territory.
I remember the smell. And the spark burns on the arms when hitting complete roll of caps with a hammer. Lovely.
Ah yes, the foolishness of youth.
Thanks for the memories.

Thanks all appreciated, they are hard to buy now these paper ones as all caps are in plastic 6 or 12 shot rings now.

Amazing how all us boys world wide hit the whole roll with hammers! boys will be boys!

Love it, I have that Jensen boiler setup but a later model. It’s basically the same but a cheaper model it was mass produced. The smell of caps is still fresh to me also of my childhood memories. Love the hammer setup…..

 Very nice! Now you just need to make an automatic roll feeder...

Not sure if that's in my paygrade, but the brain is turning

Excellent fun      Like the others I can immediately smell the exploded caps 

I don't know the Jensen engines. They seem similar to the German Wilesco ones in style.

Thanks Roger, they were (and still are) made by Jensen -
