* June – James Nasmyth patents the steam hammer in the United Kingdom.

James Nasmyth had been working on a similar idea for some time prior to this.

He then moved to London where he found employment working for Henry Maudslay, the inventor of the screw-cutting lathe, alongside such people as James Nasmyth ( inventor of the steam hammer ) and Richard Roberts.

* James Nasmyth ( 1808-1890 ), inventor of the steam hammer.

James Hall Nasmyth ( sometimes spelled Naesmyth, Nasmith, or Nesmyth ) ( 19 August 1808 – 7 May 1890 ) was a Scottish engineer and inventor famous for his development of the steam hammer.

His father Alexander Nasmyth was a landscape and portrait painter in Edinburgh, where James was born.

James Nasmyth circa 1844 by Hill & Adamson.

By 1856 a total of 490 hammers had been produced which were sold across Europe to Russia, India and even Australia, and accounted for 40 % of James Nasmyth and Company's revenues.

The milling machine built by James Nasmyth between 1829 and 1831, with indexing fixture.

In memory of his renowned contribution to the discipline of mechanical engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering building at Heriot-Watt University, in his birthplace of Edinburgh, is called the James Nasmyth Building.

A misunderstanding persisted for many years that James Nasmyth had claimed that Maudslay was the original inventor of the slide rest.

Many outstanding engineers trained in his workshop, including Richard Roberts, David Napier, Joseph Clement, Sir Joseph Whitworth, James Nasmyth ( inventor of the steam hammer ), Joshua Field and William Muir.

Others, such as Henry Maudslay, James Nasmyth, and Joseph Whitworth, soon followed the path of expanding their entrepreneurship from manufactured end products and millwright work into the realm of building machine tools for sale.

Nasmyth also taught painting outside his own family and " instilled a whole generation with the importance of drawing as a tool of empirical investigation "; it was probably from him that John James Ruskin ( father of John Ruskin ) learned to paint as a schoolboy in Edinburgh in the later 1790s.

His youngest son, James Nasmyth, was the well-known inventor of the steam hammer ; and his daughter Elizabeth married the actor Daniel Terry, then as a widow Charles Richardson.

Roe ( 1916 ) credits James Nasmyth with the invention of the shaper in 1836.
