    All my hardy tool are 1 1/4" for my big anvil, so I'm hoping to get mine cut by water jet roughly to size, and just finish off with a drift. I'm just too old and arthritic for a big sledge these days :

    Wow that is a LOT of steel... very inspiring!

    @GrovestheGrey 10 месяцев назад +1

    I thought that letting the hot anvil cool down around the already tight drift would be a recipe for getting it stuck. Apparently not! I'd love to know why not, though!

    • @BrianBrazealBlacksmith

      For a tight shrink to fit joint you would need to make a slightly undersized hole then introduce a slightly oversized piece into a hot expanded hole. When you do that, you will hear the tink, tink, tink... as the metal cools. This does not occur while drifting the striking anvil because your drift is the size of hole you are drifting. It is snug after it cools, but it does tap out quite easily.

    That's a lot of steel to drive a punch through. I work by myself 90% of the time so I built a power hammer instead.

    What kind of steel do you make them out of?

    I've never understood the need for a "striking anvil", other than that they're way too low and return not nearly enough force. I know people say there's a bigger swing, but you don't need a bigger swing. I know people say they save the anvil face, so don't miss. *shrug* each to their own I guess.

    • @BrianBrazealBlacksmith

      Well yes,of course, each to his own, but if anyone ever had the need for a striker, height and "swing" or throw are some of the the main factors while forging. The support given by the stand and the location of the hardy hole also make a tremendous difference. People do miss and the safety factor of an unhardened anvil is a must in today's society. Many of the people that I have worked with started out striking their first day of forging.

      @@BrianBrazealBlacksmith point taken. If you're going to strike hard on a hardy tool (on cold morning) I can see how it might save the anvil from complete and utter destruction. Ha. It is good to start striking early. I learned more from that than any instruction. Obviously, a swage block in stand on side is about the same as anvil height, and preferable, but far less people have access to a decent swage block. Although it's not exactly productive, rail dog spike(s) in a stump are a decent enough way to practice striking. Their head shape helps learn control as well.

      @@BrianBrazealBlacksmith On a semi-tangential note: tooling made from H13 or similar eats hammers and anvils. Sure, it's great for hot work, but that stuff is for machine attached dies. I've been shot in the face from across the room when a drift made from it bit the corner off a sledge (no mis-hit either, just cracked the hammer).

      @@benjaminzedrine I have been forging over 40 years and I have seen and heard of the same results with striking on H13 with a sledge or hand hammer. I won't have it in my shop! I think the trend started with the farrier industry. The specs clearly state what it is to be used for and where failure occurs. It is in tiny letters if people would look it up, but it is worth the read.

      @@BrianBrazealBlacksmith I'm only ten years in. But any time I've seen that stuff I've had a funny feeling about it. Like, don't put it between the dies, don't put it on a decent anvil, and don't hit it. Ha. Probably really good under a press, eternal almost. Some guy on a discord server showed pics of a portable modular anvil sometime in the last year. If that's your pattern, I like it.
