Making a Jewelers Anvil and a Coin Ring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In this video I make a jewelers anvil from a piece of round stock cutoff of mild steel which I found on the scrapyard. It is 26mm thick or roughly one inch. I was inspired once again by Seth Gould and his instagram photo of a small anvil that he has made.
To check out his work go to:

Lots of filing and hacksawing once again.
To test the anvil, I made a quick ring from a coin just to see if I could make one and since then I've made three of them and gave them to my family.
Thanks a lot for watching and if you like it please like, share and subscribe.
I've never seen anyone fashion a block of steel with hand tools the way you made the anvil. I dub thee Sir Brute Force, slayer of steel!
+Chuck Coy Thank you very much!
Very nice job I love the little anvil...
+Giaco Whatever Thanks a lot Giaco. I love watching your videos!
I'm no welder but that looks like a really nicely done weld. And great work overall, so many people complain in the comments that they don't have this or that tool. You just make do with what you have and still do an amazing job. Take care!!!
+2dividedby3 Thanks a lot! That is the plan to make better tools with just a simple set of basic tools.
Cool. I've never seen a coin ring made before either.
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD They are actually quite popular but they aren't usually done with this method.
I'll have to look out for the other method. Seems a good challenge to make one.
Great Video It Came Out Great.
+Alonzo Sanchez Thanks a lot!
Nice work on the anvil and in the ring. It would be awesome if you broach the top hole to make it square, you can use a broken drill for the broach
+Josuel Servin Hm, interesting suggestion however I quite like the look of a round hole actually, but if I were to make a square hole I would probably just go in there with needle files as I have some that would do the job.
I find this video interesting for more than one reason. The main reason is that when I was 14 or so (now 70) my dad taught me to make a ring from a quarter or half dollar using a spoon to tap the edge. He then drilled the center and finished with files , etc.. Good memory I haven't had in a long time.
+William Branham Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Holy shit, someone on youtube who actually knows how to use a file! Good on you.
+saltywok Thanks a lot!
Very fun to watch! The tiny anvil looks very cool. Respect for all the file work you did on that thing. You are also a good welder
+knives&stuff Thank you very much!
Very very nicely done, using everyday tools you can do amazing things and you're proof. GREAT JOB
That's a really neat anvil! I've never seen one so small before. I do have made a ring like that though, really fun project. Buffing it out with such a small wheel must take lots of patience! Well Done!
+Dutchhorse Thanks a lot! Actually I only buffed the inside with it and I used the bigger wheel on a bench grinder to buff it out but I failed to film it.
This is a very nice demonstration of what hard work and persistence can accomplish. The metal is strong, but it inevitably yields to your efforts. I think most people would not have the patience to make an anvil, but if you consider that you'll be able to use it for a lifetime, the rewards seem worth it.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate seeing your work.
+Barry's Workshop Thank you very much! That means a lot to me.
amazing job on your tiny project,awesome!
Nice !
+Leon boss Thank you!
Magic. really cool.
+Alan Byrne Thanks a lot!
great work man....
+daniel blaga Thank you!
This is sooo cool
I like you editing stile, some times you can show more detail at high speed then at normal speed.
Great job and really nice ring!
That was an amazing demonstration of enthusiasm and dedicated effort to reach your goal !!! Using 2 medium-hard wood blocks in your vise will grip small pieces of steel and stop them sliding around as you file or hammer them. I have many different sized blocks from scrap wood, with grooves & v-slots in them to make working with hand-tools easier... try it ... it's quite startling how strongly they grip 😀
+dav snow That is a great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video. great effort. your use of the files is amazing
+matthew giacalone Thanks a lot!
AWESOME BUILD BRO!!! how much did the cute little anvil weigh??? awesome job Again! Thanks for Sharing!
Nice job!
Great post. Love the anvil. Seems like it would take forever to file out the inside of the ring. Is there a better way after the initial hole that you drilled? Anyway, good job.
Nice
works of art!
Odličan posao, pozdrav iz OS :D
between 0:26 and 0:27 in that fraction of a second it looked like you bent your drill bit . lol but its actually that oil thingy
You did it the hard way.
You should have started with a square stock.
You should have heattreated the face of the anvil, by not heattreating it you have anvil shape object or ASO.
Other then that good vid .
SUPER
Reminds me of my father when he told my brother and I that if he put us in a room with no windows or doors and with two anvils, we would break one and lose the other. This after breaking and losing many of HIS tools...
+s lichens Lol. Nice story. I might start using that saying.
excelente pieza
Nice work!
Are you from Croatia?that coin looks like 2 kunas :)
+Goran Mardetko I am from Croatia and that was 2 kn.
Well done for making a useless shaped lump of mild steel ! An anvil has to be hardened in order to keep it's face ! And as a Jeweller I have several small anvils and have made a couple, but it MUST be hardened or it will just deform. This is the difference between a real jeweller and a wannabee !
+Fizzbin25 If you give me the tool steel of this size, I will make the anvil from it. This was mainly just an exercise in making a 3D shape from solid with simple tools. The process would be exactly the same for tool steel also. With that said it is used for hitting softer metals and that way it won't deform. If it deforms however it is a simple matter of taking a couple of strokes with a file to clean it up. I would love to see the anvils that you have made.
That was so much work! I do have a small anvil like that that i bought a few years back, never used it. I wanted to make brass rings to reinforce wooden recorderjoints. I might pick it up again.
Doesnt that coin metal workharden? Wouldnt annealing be helpful?
+Willem Kossen It would help it a lot. On my second attempt at making a ring, the ring actually broke from workhardening so I guess I was just lucky on my first one. I would definitely recommend annealing it multiple times during the process.
Garage workshop
is that drill a 40 years einhell limited edition
I smash my thumb 50 times making the ring
Okey!!!!😏😊😁👄👅👍
Now that was cool, make an anvil make a ring . make me think. I'll try it. But does it need to be tempered?
Tony Scolerio I think tempering it isn't safe maybe
Do yourself a favor and get a cutting torch instead of using a grinder for the overall shape of the anvil. Or go to Harbour Freight.
did you harden the anvil surface at all?
It's mild steel. It can't be hardened.
heat treating
can i ask why you didnt keep 1 right angle on the anvil, you broke all the edges on top at 5:30
+Gummy Bear I did it mainly because I like the look of broken edges but the radius on those is so small that it wouldn't really affect the work if you wanted a real 90 degrees for say bending. Also you typically want to have at least some radius on the real anvil if you're doing forging to prevent cold shuts.
Garage workshop ok cheers thanks for the info
Pozdrav ! Kolika je cijena ovakog nakovanja !? hvala
is metal used for anvil is iron, steel or cast iron
I used mild steel, but you typically want a piece of tool steel.
Beautiful 😂😂hahaha
Was that a Croatian 2kn coin?
+Vacho13 Yes it was.
how long did this take?
+THEDESTROYER951 Probably three - four days working about 4 hours per day.
+Garage workshop wow that is determination
you don't heat treat your baby anvil noooooooooo😢😢😢😢
تلحيم ممتاز
+Tarek Bekam Thank you!
What F... this guy we are in 2016 not 1950
All this is blady time waste work
