Here is the promised complete project video in the condensed format. If you are new here and you would like a more detailed process then check out the videos recently uploaded on this repair.
Very good restoration. Enjoyed it and love the fact your daughter is melting metal.
There you go, training up the future. Great to see the youth of today showing interest in the trades of all kinds. NICE! Love your videos.
Nice new top! Love the sharp edges!!
Hey Jimmy, thank you.
Shouldn't really need a cut-off tool with edges like that.
Morning Jim.... when you put the before and after images of the anvil, you can really see the amount of work you did on it to restore it. Worth all the time.
It sure was John, good morning.
Great job on the Anvil mate and nice to see your Daughter joining her Dad in the shop.
Keep em coming, Jim.
Good morning Charlie
hell of a good job!!! (i'm focusing lately on learning "how good is good enough", just following your steps. Thank you.)
Hello Super Spy. I'm still learning that.
Oh way cool! I’m super stoked to see you getting to use your amazing workshop. After all of your work and time building such an amazing structure, it must be awesome to be using it for blacksmithing. Haha getting your daughter on the hammer and forge, way awesome! Imagine all of the things she’ll get to make and create because of what you made, awesome man!
Thank you sir. It feels great to be at this point.
I love that you have your daughter into it I started my daughter at 10 and she still loves it at 29 I think she is better then dad at the craft I picked a 400 lb anvil for her 18 birthday and a bunch of stuff through the years and when I am done she gets all my tools she is going have to build a much bigger shop LOL
That's the way it should be.
Nice rebuild of a great tool, ready for another 160 years of use for your family.💚💜👏❄️
Good morning Don.
You got your daughter hot working steel, from this point on it doesn't matter what you do you did it right!
Nice! And great guitar background!
The kid forging at the end was the best part.
Nice job on the anvil repairs. I know the video here is only 14:25 but I've done some heavy welding repairs and I know that must have taken you upwards of 4 or 5 hours to do the actual repair. The anvil looks like it can now go another 160 years thanks to you. Great job!
Thank you. This thing took some time for sure, a lot of tedious work to get it where I could even weld on it.
Keep on truckin', that anvil restoration turned out good.
Thank you T, good evening.
Morning Jim.
Nice condensed video. Hopefully you have more footage of Emma's knife and will have a complete video of how that turned out for her, including any daddy help/advice you gave her.
I will.
@@TheTradesmanChannel Awesome, can't wait!
Love seeing the young folks making instead of killing their brains with constant screening of other people's videos. It can be a great learning tool, but if you don't get out and put what you've learned to practice, it's wasted knowledge, for the most part.
Glad you didnt make it look too new. Subscribed
Looks like you did a great job.
Thank you sir.
Good work man it’s a all starting to come together
First! The old hunk o' iron sure got a new lease, Jim! Ready for some serious hammering!
It sure did. I didn't realize how old it really was. Did a little research and was quite surprised.
@@TheTradesmanChannel - I figured it had to have some years on it, you just don't saddle-out a hunk of more or less tool steel with a few whacks! Great refurbish job! 👍🏻👍🏻
It was fun, I won't hesitate to do it again.
Very nice compilation video. 👍👍👍
Good morning Guy
i just bought a hay budden anvil 175 Pounder the top is flat but edges need to be worked up in spots what rod did you use and to preheat the anvil what temp did you have to get 200 degrees or higher i want to try it on my anvil maybe thanks awesome video any advice would be great
Good evening. The major repairs were done with 7018ac stick (Hobart brand) and the face repairs were done with Hardalloy 58, also a Hobart stick rod. I ran both rods at 130amps AC. For preheat I used a brush burner and brought the anvil up to 300*F. Just keep the torch moving so that it's an even heat.
Nice job buddy!
❤
12:00 Nice refurb. ❤
Slightly surprised you didnt chamfer any of the edges for drawing though. I guess you did it after the vid was shot.
May try this with a very similar anvil rescued from the middle of a corn field. Would love guitar credits.. Thanks
Awesome
As I sit and watch this its 10 ° degrees Fahrenheit out side at 3:30 am in the morning started watching it at 11PM and fell asleep because I was tired not because your boring or anything, I'm just rambling here if you could not tell already
Go back to sleep. Sounds like you need it.
I do that often myself.
@@thomasarussellsr I did finally then was back up again two hours later
Anvil turned out great! Good for you getting your girl to play with iron. So now that you've worked through the anvil rehab; I have wondered about mixing rods trying to build up the hardened surface. In the deeper areas mostly, I've considered mixing hard surface rods with regular rods to possibly avoid the brittleness you were worried about on the corners you built up. What are your thoughts? I did catch the other anvil video's btw, so I know what you spoke of. Thanks for sharing
I wouldn't on the face but edges should be fine.
Trying to learn something here. I have a similar anvil I need to repair though not as badly damaged on the edge as yours. You have heated to about what temp? After welding and putting mass on the edge you hammered the welds. Correct? What is the purpose of that? To add hardness? You look like you are using 7018. Correct?
Pounding the welds compresses the welds and adds rebound. Preheat the anvil to around 400*F, fix missing edges with 7018 and put a butter layer of hard surfacing rod over face repairs, not the edges. Weld in small passes so you don't overheat the anvil face. After that it's hours of grinding. Make sure you don't suck up the fumes from the hard surfacing rod, they can kill you fast. I used Hobart Hardalloy 58.
Dear Jim,
This was a rather good video showing in what a pitiful state you received this anvil & how through sheer determination, you managed to bring it back to life form a terminal visit to the scrap yard. I trust this lifting it back has not been at the detriment of your "somethings:" Very well done. Kind regards.
Those somethings have to go!
@@TheTradesmanChannel Dear Jim,
Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply. Oh really it's that bad; well I guess you can always place them on the newly refurbished anvil & pound them into oblivion. But if you are going to take this course of action, please do it off camera my dear fellow. Kind regards.
curious what rod you used? Great job on the anvil.
Good evening. I used 7018AC to fill in the missing edges and then Hardalloy 58 for the face of the anvil. Very pleased.
good job
Thank you
I figure it is your anvil, and you know what you want from it. If it needed to be rebuilt then so be it. You intend to use it so it should meet your needs.
Good morning Todd.
good job dad
Well done. A great edit. Nice job my good friend.
-Will
How much does heating the anvil up only a couple hundred degrees help the weld to adhere? Or is the heat for something else? I understand that there is a max you can hit before removing the hardness.
The preheat keeps the metal you're welding to stable, no thermal shock. Some metals need to be preheated just so that the welding will get hot enough to take.
Bring on the tool making 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I assume that your helper is your daughter. Mine would never come out to forge anything..too hot, too cold, but mostly bugs she hates anything creepy crawly. She never comes into the shop. I hope yours will stick with it.
My two older kids (boy and girl) love being at the anvil. My son is really getting into building things.
Nice to see Emma swinging a hammer. She wasn't "hammering like a girl", either.
She swings it very well.
Training daughter = pension!!!!!
Jim what kinda grinding wheels arw you using?
The Hazard Frought 36 grit flap disk worked the best.
@@TheTradesmanChannel for those who may not know, that's Harbor Freight/harborfreight.com. Hazard Frought is a nickname because they have had lines over the years that it was your risk to save money buying there. I personally only ever had problems with corded/cordless drills and recip saws. But like I said, it was luck of the draw. I've seen review videos of tools that work great for me but didn't for the reviewer, and one that reviewed the tools I had no luck with that would swear by the tool they got. Hint, with the extended warrantee they offer on most of theirbtools they still come out way more affordable than most name brands.
@@TheTradesmanChannel thanks buddy
From a 10,000' view, nice job - but I would like to see how the rebound on this was maintained? Bounce Test? I have a feeling that temper may have hurt this.
I use this anvil daily, no issues of any kind with it. If you preheat properly, weld properly and work harden the welds before grinding then you're gold. In one of the videos in the series there is a hammer rebound test. As I said, I forge daily on this thing making tools and knives that I sell.
Prof the smiths helper looks like she is liking it, must be a good job ! 😂😂😂😂😂
She loves the forge.
What kind of anvil is that?
It is an 1850's Peter Wright London pattern anvil.
I'm tellin ya, she is taking to that like she was born to it!
She has a really good swing.
I swear she hits harder than you do! LOL I was going to tell you the other day that maybe you should try hitting it with a purse. Now I'm thinking you should use her purse!
On the serious side though, I just get a good feeling about her having a gift for this.
I do too. Better than a smart phone any day.
@@TheTradesmanChannel ...... but without the smart phone how will she watch all the YT vids to learn what she wants to do? (whispers so she can''t hear) and you always know where they are ;0)
Hope all is well, no video in six days makes us wonder. See you soon, and hope all is well.
Been in PA for a few days, sick with strep for a few days before that.
@@TheTradesmanChannel oh, that sucks. Feeling better I hope. Hope also that it isn't bouncing around the family. Take Care and we'll see you soon.
@@thomasarussellsr it's been going through the house AGAIN! I'm doing much better now. Just got home as well and just fired up the forge. Probably won't have video out until tomorrow night.
I don't think that the Coyote took such time with his anvils. Shoddy work shows. It didn't benefit him in any way! :-D :-)
He should've learned to weld!
What is it with everyone hitting their anvils repeatedly? Once is all thats needed. Like kids with a new noisemaker toy.
What is it with folks putting every little grievance in writing on the internet? It's my first real anvil, I like the rebound.
