When I get to a point in my life where I have a "launching anvil" I will know I've made it.
FourBitty right lol it’s hard enough to find an anvil to work on let alone launch one
With friend and family.
Yep
😂😂
"this is my launching anvil" I think that's the test to know if you have enough anvils. :)
rjtumble haha good one
I love america.
Can we not gloss over the fact that bro launches an anvil over a hundred feet into the air, every Freedom Day?
If i catch it can i have it?
@@nicholaiivan491 I think that's only if you catch it Loony Tunes style.
After watching your videos I decided to clean my anvil up enough to read the maker and weight and was pleased to see the words "Hay Budden" 156 lbs. Thank you for all the wonderful videos. You've inspired me to make some big changes in my life. I hope one day to have the honor of shaking your hand. Again thank you sir.
Intelligence without arrogance, wonderful!!!!
I first read it as...."Intelligence without ignorance"
Ummm what??? Duh haha
Love the random launching anvil bit 😂😂😂
I love hearing Cy holler! Makes me smile every time.
Who doesn't like watching a hundred pound anvil launched straight up?

Nothing says America F$&k Yeah! Like blowing stuff up!
it would suck if it hit the house tho
Why does a network not pick this guy up? Just baffles me they will invest in a tv show about people who make no contribution to society but yet this fella goes on his own to teach.
TV has a ton of problems and would totally kill most youtuber's spirits. If you want videos decided by committee, manufactured drama, and sponsorships out the whazzo, that's what you get with TV. Here, he's got freedom to do what he wants, how he wants, and can shoot it however he wants. There's no safety officer on set or producer telling him to knock it off with the anvils. Guys like Diresta have been on TV (go look it up, it was ... bad) and still get offers all the time. He declines them all because he doesn't want to give up creative control, and neither should EC. TV is dead.
Sorta seems like TV needs EC more than EC needs TV. If he sticks with it I think he could have a pretty strong channel all on his own.
Honestly television would probably ruin this channel. Producers and Lawyers would completely take over any creative control.
That is a horrible idea. To think that some out of touch, snot nose, Hollywood writer could add anything to the quality of this channel is ridiculous.
All these replies are pretty accurate and the reason, this old man stopped watching TV years ago. It has turned to liberal crap and are all about either huggie, feelie ,lets cry together or ass kicking 105 lb. women throwing 6'2" 225 lb. all muscles men, all over the room, like paper dolls.
I work with my hands on a daily basis and I love this channel. Great knowledge being spread here, entertaining, and honestly comforting. It's like going and talking to a good neighbor, reminds me of spending time with my dad as a kid with other mechanics, machinists, and other skilled men. Nothing like it.
I feel like this channel is basically what I would've learned from my Grandpa if I grew up around him.
Shooting anvils into the air!
God bless America.

YOU *_WHAT_*
Picking up the hot punch simply accelerates one's punch assessment skills.
Concave the bottom of the stump with a grinder; stops any wobble.
Scott, I come from a long line of carpenters and craftmen. I was about 3 when dad started taking me to his shop, and the first "project" I built hangs on my shop wall nearly 60 years later. You are the genuine article, and do the best channel on youtube, hands down. Your work and contributions are deeply appreciated.
Yep, the channel is awesome. Many thanks for all the posts. I know my son & I have reaped the benefits of it together many times.
How to mount an anvil, from the rear of course.
Now those bent bars you screwed into the wood, they will rip your leg (shin) wide open if you are not thinking about sharp metal sticking out of the wood. Cover them with something, leather, wood, sheet metal or whatever. Just cover them.
Or you could turn the anvil 90 degrees so the horn and heel line up with the brackets. You are less likely to get close to the horn and heel as you are to the sides.
That's a great technique for leveling off the stump. Thanks.
I want a launching anvil, this show and the Montana Englishman metal working channels are awesome. Thanks for doing this.
first video I've seen on this channel.... totally loved it!!!
Never picked up a hot drift punch... But when I was a young lad I was watching my grandfather cut a piece of wood with a saber saw. The blade broke and fell to the floor. Wanting to help grandpa I immediately reached down and grabbed the piece of broken blade... Instant education. And that little lesson has stuck with me for years.
Haven't touched a real anvil probably since metal shop in middle school many moons ago (I don't think the small one on my Craftsman vice in the garage counts?) and now I am one of many who will automatically watch any video with EC and anvil in the title-keep up the good work sir! (Now off to my Anvils Anonymous meeting ...)
Can't wait to see Leo use the forge for the first time
You know you're in Murica when a guy launches an anvil up in the air
That outro of you walking out of your shop is the kind of life I dream of having. Beautiful. One day!
Your delivery so polished and content so worth watching. Thank you!! Jim
I love this channel. It’s like watching a slice of home.
How to 'square' off a stump! That's awesome!
As an Australia, watching you take the bark off makes me wince. Down here there's always a surprise lurking beneath the bark waiting for you
I admire how you have adapted to today’s world, keeping skills alive using a modern format for the world to see, I really appreciate your hard work and efforts in producing this channel, lotsa of appreciation and support from an ol school FNQ Carpenter in Sticky hot Australia 🔨👌🏼👍🏼
cherish this craftsman 🙏🍻
Thanks for the video - a trick my grandfather told me (2nd generation blacksmith & coachbuilder) is to place a sheet of cork between the anvil and block . This enhances the "ring" quality of the anvil and makes the sound when striking the anvil with your hammer so much sweeter ,
I'm a newish gal to this channel but I have very fond memories of the anvil my father had in his shop, he was a bike mechanic for many years before moving on to saleperson and finally as a manager of a bike shop but he had an small anvil in the workshop out back for all sort of things that needed one solid piece for hammer work or adjusting frames (before they became more standardized bikes they are today). I've picked up a lot of things from him and thankful for him for as I can knock up a frame, to fix a car, "hard work" and given me that drive to not shy away from it and do my best with my hands, regardless of my gender. I digress,
I love watching your videos, including anvil and it brings back all my childhood memories working with my dad.
Ah, another female practitioner of Nudaism!
Cy's howl is immortal!
I don't think I'll ever use an anvil. However, like most men, I love to watch a genuine craftsman talk and work. However, I follow your teachings on ladder-safety and manual handling on a regular basis.
Loved the ending. All grandfathers should have a working usable shop full of the things that make young kids enthused about visiting and most importantly learning, the important things in life, hard work,great tools, and the knowledge to use them. Great video
EFD620G it'll be a few more years for me to carry my grand child around in the shop, what a treat it'll be
Had my subscription at "this is our launching anvil." XD Excellent Info for me as a starter, thank you!
now this is Another Great Video... thank you for taking the time to make this...
you have a first rate helper. im sure he provides a lot of entertainment!!
You sure love what you do, and you do it right.
Anvil cannon, get her done.
What a good bunch of folks!
Love the video, great advice and talk through. I may be 5 years late, but still relevant to me. So thanks again for the video
Your channel is a great find! Glad we met!
i am an old retired auto body repairman,old school. in my day we repaired just about everything.however in the early 1980's they went to hss and hsla steel as i am sure you already know.you are extremly well versed in metal and it,s propterities.i really enjoy your channel.keep up the good work.
*Scott* This is my launching anvil.
*Me* Cool, I wonder what that means.
*Scott* This little guy takes about 150 foot vertical trip in a couple of seconds.
*Me* Wut...
*Video* BOOM, PING... Woooooooooooo!
*Me* Oh, oh my....
This is my new gold standard for showing the difference between Canadians and Americans :)
Thanks man. Hammer swinger here, BC Canada
Fantastic tip Mr. Wadsworth!! I appreciate every video!😊😊👊👊
That seems about the simplest and quickest way to get that mounted down tight. I like it.
Haven't got an anvil, probably never will but this is somehow still very interesting, please keep these videos coming.
Just set up my anvil using this method. Easy and all from scrap around the shop.
Great stuff, this guy knows his beans.............
All I can say about this channel is; thank you.
Great fastening idea...but that's going to HURT when you walk into them sharp corners!
A man who walks the Earth gracing it with his presence and us with his knowledge.
This video just gave me a great solution for the mounting of a small anvil that I have been
pondering over for a very long time. Thank you.
The only video out of a couple dozen that should me on how to figure anvil height. Thanks
I really like your channel, always interesting and enjoyable. I love your old tools. The tool you used to take off the bark is another tool that is nearly lost to time. We would call it a bark spud down here in the middle of North Carolina. Keep 'em coming. Love the anvils by the way!
We are setting up a blacksmith shop at our Boy Scout camp. I wish we had a guy like you around.
I am so jealous!!!
I need an anvil in my workshop but I have not come across one yet here in Thailand!
In the mean time I will keep watching vids like this dreaming of the moment I find my anvil...
Thanks for this great video
Loved the launching anvil sequence
I was just thinking of my little 14" bar Husqvarna and you coming out of the shed saying "that's not a chainsaw, this, is a chainsaw!"
It makes me happy to see you turn your ratchet 360 degrees. It's handy to have a ratchet for tight spaces, but I always see people cranking on them when spinning is so much faster.
So much great info in one video
Love the Bob Villa style, one foot up on the block, pose at the end...sure to be classic soon
.
Man! That log squaring trick. Thanks!
Just got a anvil and a large section of a oak tree .I have been contemplating just how to saw and mount it the simplest way . Your aprouch seems to be exactly what I was looking for Thank You for sharing your knowledge.
Essential Craftsman and if you don't want to use eye bolts, weld the chain ends to an ordinary bolt head or piece of allthread
Thanks again for the good advice everyone and my shins Thank You also in advance.
Sir, “you are well-rounded craftsmen!”
I was a blacksmith at one level or another for a period 57 years.
It started as a hobby by watching the old blacksmiths back in the 1940s.
Eventually I became a county government blacksmith, and have owned three welding/blacksmith shops over my lifetime!
I say all of that to say this: That is the slickest way to square an anvil stump that I have seen.
ONE OTHER THING.
I had training by several blacksmiths over the years, and one of the first things several of them warned me about, was the danger with using the “FLOATING SHOP ANVIL”.
A “Floating Shop Anvil” is the anvil that was mounted on a stump such as yours, but NOT PERMENTALY fixed to the floor, and would be moved in and out of the shop.
They used them mainly for shoeing horses.
“The danger was with the floating anvil tipping over”. I was told by several of the old blacksmiths, about the serous injuries they knew of, that was due to blacksmiths trying to catch the anvil as they tipped over, and then having their feet crushed.
They said tipping the anvil over usually happened when they were in the process bending a long piece of stock while trying to get the most out of every heat, and then when it cooled it became like a lever with no give, and would tip the anvil over.
I wish I was your neighbor. I got a great start from my father in learning things, but soo much was left unfinished in his understanding and left me with a lot of gaps to fill that I’m still working on. Love your channel sir 👍🏻
I like the way you chained that anvil down! Oh and I see you start training your blacksmiths at a young age!!!
My favorite channel on RUclips. Thankyou for sharing your wisdom with the world.
Your knowledge is always appreciated!
Dear Essentialcraftsman. After watching many of your great videos on anvils I have been on a hunt for one for my so called shop. Well I found one in Oregon. Once I get it cleaned up I will shoot you a picture. I want to do some research on it. Thanks for bringing back the importance of working with your hands and getting back to the basics of manual labor. Love your channel and all of the information you give to all of us. Bryan
The way you fastened that anvil to the stump was ingenious
I used a railroad bridge timber (bigger than regular timber) to mount my 150lb mouse hole anvil. I buried it a foot and a half to two feet deep like a post. Then I used eyebolt with adjustable hooks and screwed it down tight. Worked great.
Dropping the torch into the pritchel ... all star maneuver. Thumbs up and thanks for the time you spend on these videos.
I like seeing how you work, how you solve problems, how productivity is accomplished. Thank you!
This has to be the only man in the world with the porter- cable impact driver
Ur a good bloke with a big heart
Good heavens never thought I’d see another man like my late husband. I couldn’t bring myself to part with his black smithing tools. He loved guns and old steel and make knives out of files and spring steel. He made a small canon about 30 years ago and he’d fire it off at dawn every 4th of July. They never figured out who was doing it.
Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Thank you! I struggled trying to get a level anvil stand. Now I know how to not only make a good stump, but also how to tightly attach the anvil to it. I've tried some methods, but they just didn't work well for me.
Ironically the day you posted this video I was already trying to think of a good way to cut off some logs level and mount my two anvils. After seeing this I decided it was a good idea and finally got around to it this weekend. Worked great, Thanks.
I wanna be like you when I’m older , love your channel keep the videos coming
Instant fan of the song! Had to look it up and get it!
I just found your site. I have a 425 lb Fisher that's about to get repaired because of you. I also really dig that tie down. Not that my anvil wiggles much...I love seeing the little guy running about absorbing this. Nicely done!
Back in the day I looked for swamp elm for my anvil stand.. It's a very fiberious wood and it's tough as nails. Used it 15 years and it was as sound as that first time I used it all those years later.
Thanks for the forge talk, I've missed it as its been a long time sense I've seen a working shop.
Samuel Yellin was my inspiration back then. I met his son decades ago and he was a great host showing me around he and his dad's still working forge in Philadelphia.
Flying anvil...You sir are hardcore... (tips hat) respect.
simplicity , my kinda deal ,... i may use this set up thx friend
I have been following you buckin in your blacksmithing setup and watched tour anvil mount vid. I just copied the link to this vid and was going to send it to you!! Then saw your reply!! Haha
You are a really good person. Thanks for that.
very cool! I like the portability of this idea!
you just showed me a neat trick on where I can put my torch when using my anvil, tks ,can't believe I didn't see it myself !!!
Johnncent .First time i've seen your program and i found it very interesting and informative. Thank you.
So good, thankyou tradie. Your the top man. I can learn from you.
I bought a little 25 lbs anvil because of this channel. I didn't need anything big because I am not a blacksmith, but it has come in handy doe some things!
Great video! Looking to buy my first anvil this week
Just mounted my anvil using your method. Thanks.
I have never used and never will use an anvil but I still liked this. I could watch a video of how you trim your toe nails and enjoy it while probably learning something new.
Izlare Lenix Ew, but you're probably right... But ew.
Izlare Lenix I said the same thing but saw the first video on finding anvils. I began looking and I now own one and looking around for a forge. I had no interest.... now the neighbor saw me with it he is over here banging on metal ....I am over there banging on crap all because of EC
Currently using a big old bottle jack welded upside down on 2 big pieces of angle iron posted in the ground as an anvil, I will get a good anvil one day and use this trick so thank you for this tip from future me
What a wonderful video!!!!!!!! Amazing!
I'm doing one right now, thanks for the video
