Better not try that then! I’ve only had a 209 go off from a stray piece of shot. I have heard of Dillon tubes going off and sending shrapnel into the ceiling
I've heard and seen photos of that with the tube stuck in the ceiling, still not sure how that could happen with a Dillon.

Build a bigger hammer and use primers :D
These come down with a bang Nick....trust me.....the thought of slipping a small pistol primer in there crossed my mind....very briefly.
A mate of mine ended up in hospital once when the primer auto feed on his Lee press malfunctioned and the whole lot went off....the nurses picked shrapnel out of his face and neck for hours, he was lucky he was wearing glasses.

I’ve got 3 or 4 cases of them here, I buy them after the 4th of July for the kids when they’re like 50 cents/box

Wonder how well it would work if you added springs to “snap” the hammers back down? I believe Bing had a spring on one of their’s...

We can still get them, but I don’t think they would hit hard enough...

LOL Nick :)
This is what I have been trying to get, they mustn't make cap guns anymore that take these?

Mighty fine "twin thumper" Jim , powered by a desirable cutaway J20G. NICE !
The dogs don't like it much Bruce ;)
Lol...never thought about that , but I know that's right 😄
I really like the "New & Improved" trip hammer.
Thanks Bruce, my skills have very 'slightly' improved in the 6 years since I built this so it was good to break it down completely and rebuild it and fix a few things.
Very much an understatement Jim , your skills have come along impressively . I look at some of my early work and just smile. I remember back when Dean Williams was making SV valves and thinking Wow , I wish I could do that...😄👍

DIY Steam Trip Hammer powered by Jensen #20G Steam Engine
This is a DIY homemade Steam Trip Hammer powered by a Jensen 20G Steam Engine the green belting I'm using is a larger 3mm thickness which is a thicker than normal belting for some added grip.
