Hi my name is Paul Pinto and I’m an 19 year old maker from Connecticut. This channel will cover woodworking, metal fabrication, blacksmithing and much more! I will be posting weekly videos of my latest projects so make sure you subscribe!
my favorite part is when you measured the ID of the hole with the OD part of the caliper
Could be that he did it so that the viewer could read the measurement right-side up.
The "KLANG" sound at the very beginning makes my day! Like an half liter black coffee in the morning on an empty stomach! Hell yeah!
I absolutely love the anvil, Paul. It worked great today. Nice getting to meet you for the pickup. Thanks again.
I’m glad you like it! It was great meeting you too
So what is different about a "striking" anvil and why do you need one?
@@carpediemarts705 It's an anvil saver. When using a sledge hammer to do heavy work, if you miss, the striking anvil takes the hit, not the expensive, hardened anvil facel. Also is a bit lower so the striker can get some power into the swing. The striker being a human power hammer.... Or rat powered if this is a documentary: ruclips.net/video/8Gwty_y2J78/видео.html
Great work! Always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to seeing you use the striking anvil in future videos.
Thank you! I’m glad you like my videos👊
In the name of Odin, nice job. Asgard is waiting for you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We like to see thinks being made machined things are best and this is a really nice tool taking shape here. This is nice a plate small in overall size (meaning not a whole dedicated table but something our small shop could use to beat on with sturdy results this is giving us a few ideas that might adapt well for our shop and future. Thank you for this share we are new and we subscribed to continue learning more much more (and applying it too). Lance & Patrick.
I did the same thing on a chunk of inch and a half. Drilled a 1 inch hole and used a triangle file to make it square. Wish I had a mill.
Can you forge on it? Yes. And that's all you need. If you need a horn, make one that'll go into the hardy hole. A simple round bar forged to a point is all you need. (Or you could have it turned on a lathe if you don't like forging stuff for some strange reason). Well done.
That's amazing again Paul really enjoyed this video as well wow 😃😃😃
Keep going, dude. Your works inspires.
Thanks man! I appreciate it
Nice work Paul! I made several a few years back with water jet cuts. Your approach is better!
Thank you!!
Nice one Paul 👍 I'd probly use sand to fill the legs tho. An overnight soak in vinegar and the mill scale will come off with a bit of coarse steel wool or a wire wheel
Very true I tried it myself just a few days ago and was super impressed. Environmental friendly and pet and children friendly.
Thanks! good idea with the vinegar I’m going to try that next time
Who needs a plasma cutter lol very nice torch cuts 👍👍
Thanks man
Nice work Paul! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you!
I'm an amateur machinist and welder but was wondering?
1: layout of the hole. If 1.000 D then put it straight in the mill, find the center of the hole and x:0,y:0 then corner is x: 0.500,y: 0.500 , etc - the radius of the drill bit and no center punch needed if you start the hole with a center drill.
2: why not use a radius end mill on the corners instead of a grinder?
3: when it's still in the mill why not fly cut the top?
4: loved that you hand filed but if you invest in a dyna file you will not regret it. There are knockoffs that are cheap but the dynabrade cannot be beat. It is for sure a buy once cry once tool.
C: I wanted to see a ball bearing bounce. A good anvil needs good rebound.
Also what were the materials? I'm guessing the legs and feet are mild but maybe m3 or h11 for the big chunk?
Keep building. It's becoming a lost art.
1 the piece of steel already had a hole in it when I bought it so I couldn’t really start from a center point and for this application the hole didn’t have to be that exact
2 I don’t have a radius end mill
3 it doesn’t matter
4 I don’t have one lol
5 people make striking anvils out of mild steel all the time because it’s just going to get beat up anyway and it’s a lot safer because if a striker misses and hits the edge it won’t chip off and turn into a projectile like a hardened anvil would
Great Build once again Paul.
Raj Hooblal thank you!
Muito bom o trabalho,excelente!
Very nice work. I use a piece of A36 like that, but I have not put a hole in it or have a stand for it yet. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you!!
Great all round job 👏
Have seen a number of videos making these things and always wonder why they don't simply make and use a broach as opposed to using a file.A broach is one of the simplest tools to make and can be used over and over again!
I dont think you can broach through 2in stee
Great work as usual, your forced air burners are the best
Thank you! I’m glad the burner is working out!
Handy dandy. Great job. 👍
Hi Paul, love your videos, what brand of drill bits do you recommend? I'm a auto tech and I am looking for a good set of drill bits. Thanks! and keep up the good work.
Hey! Thank you. I use a cheep set of Milwaukee bits from Home Depot when I use a hand drill or I just need to drill a quick hole on the drill press but when I need to be precise I have a set of jobbers length bits from mcmaster Carr and they’re really good
Cool build but the cement scene was the star. I can’t believe you didn’t spill any pouring from that 5gal bucket. And did you mix it with half an 8 iron??
7:27 coughing chipmunk...lol
Looking at building one of these, mostly for drifting or hardy tools, and not necessarily really heavy striking.. Would 1" thick be sufficient?
AWESOME, just AWESOME.
Very nice build!
Thank you!
Looks awesome!
Thank you!
That's quite a bit bigger than what I have to make one. Mine is going to be 2x6" I'm hoping to have a video out on that soon.
Grt build !!! Keep up
Really like the idea of filling the legs with concrete. Cool build can’t wait to see what you build on it first
Thanks man! I figured it would be good to keep the noise down and make it heavier
You gave me good idea for anvil. It may be way cheaper make one like you than buy one since they are expensive theese days. In my country even 100 lb abused ones don't go below 100$.
Nice job Paul. If that’s for you, your going to need a bigger shop soon. Don’t ask me if I have room for another tool. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks Chad! It’s not for me haha I’m at maximum capacity
Paul Pinto I feel ya brother. I could get another screwdriver in here without a whole lot of organizing and purging. But don’t think I won’t try. 🤣
Great work man
Thanks dude!
Simple anvil...great 👍
Why grout the legs? Damping perhaps? Fully cured grout has similar elastic properties (but not the strength) to steel. I can't imagine much energy loss between their interface.
I submit two bays trianglating the legs will have several times the effect of grouting provided the assembly is securely bolted to a solid floor.
It’s just to make the whole thing a bit heavier. The heavier you can get the anvil, the better.
Great job Paul what angle did you cut your legs at and are you happy about the end result or would you change angle. I second the soak in vinegar to remove Mill scale. And I can tell you it doesn't matter how big your shop is it's never big enough. Thanks again keep them coming
Thank you!! I cut them at about 7.5 Degrees and I think that’s what I would stick with and the vinegar is a good idea
Nice work!
Thank you!
Hey I like that stencil of the USA on the wall. I would buy something like that.
Great job!
thank you!
Where did you get the steel from?.
How about where you scored the mild steel plate?
What type of steel was your 2" thick top plate?
lol, love the dimensions doodles
Haha thanks
Great job. Why put the plate under the anvil?
How has the grout held up?
Yup, all you need is a massive piece of steel and a machine shop, Easy
Looks good, these came up in conversation on the Blacksmiths Pub podcast last week I think. They didnt really understand the need for a striking anvil. They said why dont you just use your regular anvil? What are your thoughts?
Thanks! I’ve never actually used one and this one is for a customer but I definitely see how they make sense because you can make the stand a lot lower which makes striking much easier and you risk damaging a real anvil if you are working with an inexperienced striker. I wouldn’t want to spend a bunch of money on a real anvil and put it on a stand that’s too short for regular use
Ild radius the corners of that bottom plate so you don't slam your thighs into them lol but man ace job. And wow your vice is immense
Well done
Thank you!
What is the best kind of steel to use to make a striking anvil? I’m having a hard time finding a slab in my area to make one.
A36
where we can buy that size or bigger steel like your one ! ! ! 😊i try get one , let me know, please ! thank you ! 😊
Greetings from Greece. What type of style do you use to make the upper part?
I just used mild steel but you could definitely use some sort of tool steel if you want
When drilling a hole try using candle wax. You will find it is quite a bit less messy to say the least. Nice job fella.
"Try using candle wax?" Under what circumstances would candle wax drill through steel?
@@v3124 What one does is take a candle and just touch the revolving drill and just start drilling. Then every so often retouch the drill. So easy to clean up the surrounding area from the swarf. Instead of oil flying all around the place. Works for me and should work for you too.
Where the heck do you just get a big ol thick slab of metal?
Just subscribed. Was the striking surface high carbon or mild steel? The sparks seem like mild steel.
WHERE can i find a chunk of steel like that?
You should use a surface conditioning disk on your grinder
You didn't harden and then temper it?
Where did you get the steel for the anvil itself?
At a local steel supplier but you could probably find something online
What is the name of the tool that is used to burr out the steel to make it sqaure?
Este señor si sabe cortar con acetileno yo corte una lámina y traía un desmadre botaban gotas de fierro fundido x todos lados🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍
What kind of steel is the striking anvil? Love the project.
Jeff Strauser I use 4340, sometimes 4140. That’s chrome moly. These are particularly good for striking, as they work harden. They’re very tough. Standard A 36, which you find more cheaply, deforms. After a while, it’s all banged up, and needs a good grinding or milling to fix. If that doesn’t bother you, then fine. But I use this for sheet metal too, and a flat maintained surface is very important for that.
@@melgross that's why I wanted to know I've been using a regular anvil to make armor and it's not as flat as I would like.
Holy music batman
What did you use to make that anvil?
Why not keep round hole and put square hardy hole other end as you had gear to do it
Your torch cuts are better than most peoples plasma cuts. I'm assuming you are a professional welder or went to school for it?
Thank you! And no haha I’m self taught
What type of Steel is the deck made of?
Just mild steel
Top
What alloy steel is that ?
What steel did you use
Mild steel
the link to your website doesn't work.
What grade of steel is that
nice
I want one. Are you selling? Yours is of decent size.
0:13 OMG
not just me then. :-D
Why primer it. ? It's to beat on.
It’s for a customer and I want to make it look nice
I like to put extra effort into things
Why spend work on the surface of a striking anvil?
Huh?
@@PaulPinto it's a striking anvil. It doesn't need a finished surface or any work done to the surface. You used a mouse sander on something who's job is to be beat to shit.
Haha it’s for a customer and I like to do quality work, just because you would be to lazy to grind the surface doesn’t mean I am
@@PaulPinto i didn't know it was for a customer. In that case it should look beautiful going out the door.
Man would you be up for making me one I’m so busy I don’t have time to make one
Sure! Message me on my website and we could work something out

Что это такое?
you forgot the horn jajaja
I am not a blacksmith. However, why did you only put 3 legs on the item, instead of 4?
Cement is legs, yes, awesome!!
A 3 leg stool will never wobble
Timothy Dillon you got it
learn how to light a torch, clean the tip first though
It's nice but I wouldn't say it's "striking".
Looks like an Alex Steel knock off
Haha what a dumb comment. You do know he’s not the one who invited the striking anvil right?
Damn I just looked at your channel, I feel bad for you. Now I know why you gotta hate on other people’s
Looks great!
Thanks!!
