Great video man! It should be very informative and useful for the beginning smith!
Well, i didnt expected you here
Perfect video for the context, no distracting commentary, music or special effects, and you gave a few different options for the viewer to work with. subscribed.
Straight forward , helpful without talking down , thank you
I think you're right in the money. You don't need a 300lb Peter Wright to get started in Blacksmithing. I really like your round stock welded to the side of the anvil idea! Good for bending!
Brilliant mate. This is my next project. I'll let you know how I get on.
this is one of the most useful video of how to make an easy anvil thanks
That's solid, doesn't need a stand. Great idea. Thank you.
Great idea ! Great to show what can be done with a relatively small expense. My first anvil is just a chunk of milk steel, even smaller than this one, and it works really well.
Judging by the sparks, that seems pretty high carbon
Dear Paul sir, short and sweet, easy to understand. I shall get meself a chock of steel. Thanks Mate, pierre from New Mexico
Where would you get a piece of steel like that?
I ment where would you get this if you don't have a steel provider place as he mentioned.
+envyhunterHD scrap yard or fabrication shop
What if u dont have both?
My country aint exactly friendly to people who want to have a hobby
+lol49031 Russia?
+lol49031 same
That got nice and shiny very fast. Good job.
Great info, and thank you for the inspiration!!! We have a steel supplier in town here, I see a trip in my future!
Keep the vid's coming Paul, you do a super nice job explaining everything ;-D
Thanks for the great information on your anvil, I will make one now thanks to you
Good ideas! I saw a long time ago, someone made one like this but for a horn, he welded an old wood splitting maul head to it and the shaped it with his grinder...
GREAT use of resources!
Inexpensive way to have a workable anvil!
Nice work young man, keep those vids coming, they are great. 👍
I would of just used the hunk of metal
Great video and very creative
I recently started using a 75lb flywheel from a commercial grade quilting machine... mild steel, yes the face might get a bit of a dent from a direct shot, but it works just fine. Cost me a friend putting it in the back of a truck.
The guy he mentioned in the video Alec Steele uses a mild steel block for a striking anvil (safety reasons) and it seems to hold up to some serious abuse just fine which is why I used the flywheel. It does require some extra work on your end, but if it can save you a comma in the price tag... go for it.
Great ideas, would be a lot more servicable than my railroad track, thanks.
Paul.. Nice.. I like a good how-to!
Thanks for the video..
Shad
Great video! Really useful!
Good idea 💡
thanks man!! i use that technique to make a million dollars in 1 minute.
(all i need to do is to take a million dollars out of a suitcase.. )
Were did you get get the giant piece of metal?
Paul I have some quantity of 1" thick 4140, that I want to fabricate to make into an anvil. How would one go about heat treating the face of the anvil? I do have a small forge. Does one just go through a hardening and tempering cycle like during a knife making process. Or is a heat treat even needed?
Thanks
You don't NEED to heat treat it but if you do then just go through the hardening process and don't temper it
Paul where can I buy that piece of block you used as a anvil?
hat steel is that? its bursting like crazy!
dude thanks so much! anvils are expensive.
+Civilize the Mind Untame the Body I use a piece of railway track which i bought at a scrap metal dealer. It is very versatile in that it can be machined into a smaller top surface anvil, or just turned upside down with the flat bottom part on top, and then of course it has to get supports welded to the steel to keep the flat bottom upright where you want it to stay.
Thank you!
So, what were you going to do with this chunk of steel?
hammer
So basically any steel would work? How well do you think a mild steel anvil would work for a professional knife maker?
TeamDiscus if you're a pro I would go with something like hardenable 4140 or 1045.
Im just getting started with forging so not a pro yet. I cant heat treat that big pieces of steel. How much of a difference is there in 4140/1045 to mild steel in a unhardened state? What would be the best steel for a unhardened anvil ?
You don't need to heat treat the whole thing, just enough of the top surface to resist being damaged easily. If you don't have the equipment already, you could make a decent enough forge that will get the surface hot enough with bricks and a huge pile of charcoal. Or gas, coal, electric Etc, But it'll cost you for perhaps minimal gain. You might be better to just let the mild steel you have work harden and accept some dings, when you need a perfect finish you could resurface one area to work on.
Nice work. I could weld a flat piece of tool steel to the top for the face too!
+J DeWitt DIY the only issue with that is you end up with a very small air gap between the 2 pieces which can really deaden your hits. one way to solve that would be to weld the plate, leaving a small hole in one side, flip it over and stick it in your forge, wait till nice and yellow then pull it out and smack the shit out of the face (starting from the end opposite the hole) to forge weld the 2 together, then clean up the face with some grinding
just hard face it much easier
Nice!!!! Ty!!!
Than*
Good job
wow thanks so much !!!
Looks a lot better than a Harbor Freight anvil
All well & good but most of us are not falling over massive chunks of steel???
I bought a forklift blade at a salvage yard, it weighed 265 pounds I paid $65
Nothing wrong with a large slab of steel
thanks m8
Well it's all good and well if you can find a big chunk of steel like that lol I'm sure there lying round everywe
who else typed 'how to make an anvil' but wanted it in minecraft concept?
The japanese or better the asian anvil looks the same.
pretty sure thats more than 5 minutes
5 minutes tho
Judging by the sparks, that seems pretty high carbon
But it also can be only high carbonized surface with an mild steel core, but to know this we had to cut a piece of it and do the sparkling test on the core side
