Fabri-Cobbling Tools for the ANVIL ~ Blacksmithing Tools from Random Stuff Around the Shop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- I decided to make a few tools for the larger hardy hole in a new (to me) anvil I recently DISCOVERED! Join me on another chapter of my journey learning the incredible art of Blacksmithing!
The hardy on this 305 lb Peter Wright Anvil is 1.25" square, and all my other hardies and tools for the hardy hole were FAR too small. At some point iIll also make an adapter so I can use the small tools on the large anvil, but for now these new tools will just have to do!
I enjoy re-purposing things, and all the tools I made are from things I had laying around the shop! Some are repurposed tools, others are old Press Dies, and others are pieces I've cut off things from older projects!
A LOT can be done with a little imagination!
Make sure to watch to the end, this OLD anvil saw some HOT IRON for the first time in at least the past 50+ years! See how well it performed!
Have you MADE any tools for the anvil or your shop? If so I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
As always your opinion is always valued, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this project in the comments!

I am so jealous of your hoarding ability and having it so organised
Hello SW. As a lot of blacksmiths say "need a tool, make a tool". You are certainly off to a great start, nicely done. Regards, Dave
It pained me to see you save the Ford wrench and weld to the monkey wrench/adjustable hammer...I love em one of my favorite tools
Me too, that WAS a beauty....I was shocked ( commented above )Those lovely wood slabs, all contoured in, like the old screwdrivers.
I love making useful things from discarded steel. Your hardy tools are very imaginative! I’ll be copying a couple. Thanks for sharing.
That is a brilliant idea for a roll-out coal forge! Very clever hardy tools as well, seeing not what something is but what it could become is a wonderful skill for any craftsperson, but especially a smith with a penchant for reusing scrap! I am definitely going to borrow your idea for the quick release twisting wrench too!
I love how organized your workshop is.....all those drawers with everything in boxes, all sorted....awesome! 👏👏👏
seriously impressive organization, which is the only way to remain productive when ya love to recycle and salvage things... "its not hoarding as long a you find a use for it"
When many people see a rusty old hammer or something they discard it , but it's top quality hardened metal that's going to waste. keep up the good work!
Not me! I've got tons of old hammers! I love em!
That is so nice to have all those treasure chests full of steel parts and the skills to make stuff. Those hardy tools ain’t cheap either! You probably have several thousand dollars worth there now. You could rebuild a civilization with all that. 😁
I love the quick release twisting tool too. Great stuff!!! 👍🏼
I'm all about re-purposing tools and iron! Well done!
I know the hurt at 10;55 when you sacrificed that nice American made Armstrong or Williams c-clamp.
Wow, very nice supply of bits and pieces. And soo tidy, you actually have a chance at finding just the right thing... Great
Can't believe how organized your shop is now... Great stuff!!!!!
I appreciate it! It's always a work in progress!
Love the use of the old level. My Grandfather's is still hanging in the basement.
Sometimes I watch your channel to see your metal working, other times I watch to see the dogs! Actually I enjoy both.
BTW - Re-purposing of old objects to something new is great to see.
You have alot of cool stuff!
The possibilities of what you could make with it is endless
@@mwilliamshs fuck off shit head. Lame ass comment..
That's an impressive number of tools for the anvil, and I can't wait to see what you have in mind for each of them.
Wow. you just blew my mind. I didn't know anything about any step at all of all before watching. I just started trying to build a metal sculpture, with found pieces, & have been trying to bang on it & bend it & fabricate & have been hunting around for techniques, just building skills. This was stunning. But I definitely had a great laugh to see the big conclusion, after all that work, making all those tools, & all that setup & fire up... of a coat hook & hanging a coat. I loved it. HA HA ha.
A hoarder collects useless stuff and never uses the good stuff. A craftsman knows what to hoard to make good stuff in the future.
I'll give you a A+ for tooling
I have some serious steel stash envy going on right now damn
Amazing
Good work on using what you had on hand. I do love the old "liar" er... level being used as the backing for a coat rack.
Funny I found this video. I made a hot cut out of an old chipping hammer and welded it to a mild steel shank today. I think my phone is tracking me. Just subscribed also.
Great use of STUFF for what you will be needing as far as Hardy tools! I wish I had as much old stuff to use for the tools I need!
Thanks for the video!
Well done Fellla you did real well there making all those tools. I get a lot of hints from Blackbear forge. I am unable to get to my shop due to a new hip replacement, So grounded for 8 weeks maybe more... Tom Ayr Scotland.
Your parts organization makes my CDO happy.
My barn, tools and parts are the same way.
Cheers
I found this extremely interesting .
Thank you for posting this video 😎👍🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
Random stuff? Dude you've got EVERYTHING in that shop! I am VERY envious. 😁
Excellent. Some good hardies for the anvil. I like the way you think outside the box, I tried to think outside the box once, got a bad headache.. LOL .. Always like the puppy time.. Peace..
Sometimes it give me a headache too!
Hi nice Job . Love IT.👍
Damn! You really don’t mess around, definitely giving me tool envy🤯 and lots of inspiration. Thanks
No I do not! If you enjoyed this video, I'll bet you'll enjoy some of my others! Thanks for watching & supporting the channel! Lots more to come!
That was an amazing instructional video, thank you!
Jealous of your old steel stash. I love the repurposed tools made into new tools for the anvil but im not gonna lie. Those dogs!😊
Why would anybody hijack a one year old thread with crap about hacking Instagram accounts is beyond me.
Dude I'm so jealous of your "scrap" I mean I'd be in heaven just fixing those old hammers up and forging blades from that hard enable steel, Awesome video man, I liked it
Love your organization system
Oh man you got a bunch of them crazy dogs!!!
Great job using old things and giving them purpose again. I hate wasting perfectly good items. Nice work and cool dogs bro
i LOL when your tried to cut the tap with a hacksaw. you know better than that. love your junk pile.
Man you live in the middle of blacksmith heaven..lol.. I just thought I had alot of "scrap" steel.. great video
Some of those descriptions on your storage boxes 😂 great the way you made your own tools, have to call you a blacksmith soon. Look forward to seeing what you can make with that collection.
125 SM he is a blacksmith he heated steal and move the steel into a different shape.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have a lot of fun in my shop, even with the simple things like labels on my tubs and crates! I'm a ways off from actually knowing what I'm doing at the anvil, but I know enough to be dangerous!
Love the Weimaraners. I've had a lot of them. My female is almost 16. We've grown old together.
They are amazing dogs!! I'm a bit biased though!
Bryon Hills good comment, miss mine terribly at times.....
Dont get me wrong, great job on making your own tools, but i love watching guys forge their own tools, take the stock and forge it......
What neat ideas you have. Thanks.
I am jealous of your bolt cabinet
Very impressive.
Very cool, soon to be a completely lost art.
Love the weimers checking on you. Only one here but she keeps me company in the Smitty!
Had a coworker catch his sleeve on a similar wire wheel on his drill press. Wasn’t pretty.
Nice fab work, I like how you reused that stuff.
Yeah, dangerous f'in set up that, break your arm. They can just grab you in a split second, or send something flying down the workshop.
Very good artisan !
Treasure trove...👍👍👍
Weimaraners! And hardy tools! You win.
Quod est impossibile…….necessitate est ingenii mater! Great job, best wishes, and a collective hug for the Weims.
You have more money invested in plastic storage totes then I have for my whole shop!!!!
I aspire to this level of organization.
Good video; about the right amount of dog time. A solid A.
Those are some good looking dogs.
Just finished a cone hardy for my 55# harbor freight anvil.
That is excellent that you can reporpose all that scrap tooling and make something awesome. Going forward, you can now make or repair just about anything. I recall buying a Shopsmith.... made a few $500, birdhouses. Costs go down for the tools the more you use them.
Thanks for the video! I need to make several more hardy tools and have been putting it off! This vid might just get me off my dead ass to do what I've been putting off!
Very nice selection of tools you've made!
17:49 Now you can start up your main business! Smithing Bench Dogs! =D
I just started watching your channel and I am already jealous of your massive stash. 😜
Sooooooooo many Weimarainers.
I'm jealous!!
Nice job turning an old level into a coat hanger!
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Having done some Blacksmithing you have made some nice tools for your hardy hole on your anvil all thought I don't know how I would use some of them yet if it was my shop. Just adding them adds a lot to the shop
so glad to see you not destroy that old ford wrench its a classic and an antique. i got one exactly like it the other day at a yard sale and looked it up on e bay and the dang things start at about 35 bucks in value and go up also popular are the ones that have the jeep logo
That is the wrench that came in a set with a Model A. I used to keep one in my 8N tractor tool box which used a similar one. The square on the end is for the drain plugs on trans and diff etc. :)
I have a small set of 1960s metric Toyota spanners, they came with the old Toyota Corona my Gran owned way back in the 70s, when she traded the car in on a new one she kept the spanners. As we both got older she had no more use for them and they eventually came to me. She's gone now, and I remember her fondly for many reasons, the Toyota spanners being one. They're not really worth much but bloody hell they're excellent spanners. They feel nice in the hand, they are a very accurate fit, and they take a beating - I've belted them with hammers and stood on them and put long poles on them and they've copped it all with no problems. They are my first spanners of choice when working on the cars (both are Japanese, so metric). They are open end spanners - I'd love some similar ring spanners but searching online I've never seen any so I don't think any were ever made. I hope the old Ford wrench is as good as a spanner as it is as a nice piece of history.
Cheers :-)
Look at those puppies.
You seriously used a hand hacksaw.......I admire your patience.
* /most enviable fashon/* I HATE YOU!
What a treasure stash of a shop you must have. Love the videos, keep them coming.
Hello a very nice Video it’s great 👍 from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋Kai
Major scrap envy, I have been collecting for years but my treasures are pitiful next to yours
Nice Peter Wright, that thing’s worth some $$$$
i too enjoy repurposing things, that's of course when i remember where i stored them!
Great Ideas! I had an anvil clam like the one you made, but I found I wasn't using it much. I prefer the old holdfasts. I made the clamp into a bar clamp.
Good stuff man I love making sumtin out of nutin
Great work. See you also use hand protection, good example for others to take care of those valuable 10 only fingers. I learnt from experience myself; eye- and dust mask go along also.
Very good job but lot of beautiful tools destroy ...
For your Hardie hole stud, add some metal on the sides so the tool does not wobble so much.b You will like the tools much better.
I agree... I have also seen people use duct tape around the square shank to tighten up the fit in the hardy hole! Plus it quiets it down!
I salvaged my first real anvil from a lake. It is a 304 lb peter wright
I'd LOVE to find one that way! Was it in bad shape?
@@SalvageWorkshop It was pretty cool. I actually discovered it about 20 years earlier, snorkeling, as a kid. At that time, it was being used as moorage for a boat. I became interested in black smithing, so I went to see if it was still there. Once I discovered it was, and that the boat and buoy were long gone, the recovery mission was on! It's not as nice as yours, but is in very usable shape, considering how long it must have been down there. Not great for finish work.
Maaan you got steel on your smith for the next 200 years!
Oh this particular hole. Wow. It's square? No wonder. Needs lot of tools.
Buggered if I can figure out how a square thread tap works😁 but it will be fun seeing you learn and burn blacsmithing 👍
Lol.. no idea either!
bill baggins The tap is still round but the threads on it were square. Just a standard 4 flute tap with square thread. Square threads are still used today albeit acme has taken over for it in most application.
@@steveshopworxmachine5716 Just being silly 😁 even tho I've seen square holes with a thread, but I'd love to see a square bolt
Make spacers for the vise so you don’t rip the threads off of it! Great work
Looked like you were gettin damn close to catchin your right sleeve on fire a couple times. Fine job of repurposing. Wish I had all the stuff I let slip by.
My grandfather rolled over in his grave when you destroyed those antique wrenches.
It’s a lot of fun playing with hot metal but you can get burnt you need some longer punches and drips you make them out of car springs they work well and some long black Smith tongs see you getting a little bit close there with that punch and your hardy tools you could tighten up a bit if you heat them up and bumping up make them fit tighter I can see you having a lot of fun you just gotta do it a bit smarter
Have you thought of adding a motor or a foot pedal (or both) to the forge drive? Simply awesome use of salvage in Salvage workshop!
So, now you can start manufacturing custom wreck bars)
That tool holds whatever you are beating on
Great video and great to see weimaraners with docked tails. They banned it here in uk, looks ridiculous but not as bad as a long tailed rottweiler.
Just so you know th e oldest wrench you used for twisting I woulda given you twenty or twenty five had at least. Come across similar again definition not me up. Sweet reuse of material keep up the good work.
Do you really think I'm overly worried about the potential financial sales value of my tools & machines? I like using them and re-purposing them like craftsmen have been doing for decades before me! Thanks for watching & commenting! Lots more to come!
@@SalvageWorkshop lol I guess not but the point I was trying to make is there's no sense repurposing a tool when plenty of people would find it both nkce to have and valuable to have as is
Not that I think its gone to waste or that you won't make cool things with it but that was a really nice wrench man.
@@SalvageWorkshop Me too fella. That was a beauty. Find out in future before ruining a lovely old tool like that, please!
Thats a lot of treasure. I would use every piece of that steel. I do bladesmithing and welding. Way to go man. :)
holy 10 tons of scrap iron, batman! i thought i was a hoarder, you sir, are the hoarder king! i salute your prowess. lol! loving the tower of totes. i use plastic buckets. they're free if you know where to look, they stack together as long as you don't over fill them, and can sit on the floor in a corner. just have to remember to put the heavy stuff on the bottom of the pile. awsome tools!
I do a lot of metal projects, you should check out a few of my other project videos! A hoarder is someone who can't find what they've stashed away! I know where EVERYTHING is! I dont like buckets because they dont fit very well on most shelves or stack as neat as milk crates... to each their own! We've all got different ways of doing things and none of them are wrong!
@@SalvageWorkshop i'm not as organized as you, but i know where to look for what i need. i have a two car garage i use as a shop, and four storage sheds, and a cargo trailer i have full of similar stuff. i just go to the one with the type of thing i need, and in a couple of minutes i am back to my project. i use milk crates and banana boxes on shelves as well for some things. i'm kinda cheap, so free is good. i've seen a few of your vids, it's why i'm subscribed. you do interesting things, and make a good job of it.
bonitos los perros
Should have used the clamp u made to do that last hole
Sh*t & Snow the joys of Having Dogs
Your driveway looks like mine, stained a rusty color.
They make a lot of the first one!
I love that grind on the threads of the wrench for quick movement. Did you do that or was it stock? I’m definitely making my wrench have that
I bet those dogs would attack with a single word!
You think your saw is bad you should have seen my old wet saw at my old job i mustve had 20 c clamps holding tbat thing together not to mention all the shims i had to make to make that thing cut straight... well pretty straight
thats lots of dogs=) equals lots of dogs poop in your front yard..loool
nice shop. subscribed.!! i am forging currently on my channel too. keep t up.
