I need one of these, or to source some good flat steel stock to do myself lol

I mean, it's cool, but for the same price and less work you can get an anvil that is heavier, bigger, harder, and doesn't have a void between the face and the body. But hey, making that kind of stuff is always amazing.

You have a great channel and also seem like a cool guy, i believe when you have the time and money you have great potential of being a great CZcamsr.

Really cool..found a 32"trak.myself..in gallup.n.m.on I-40

Thats called a Lovejoy coupling.

درود دمت گرم من دارم یه پرس میسازم یه قیچی میلگرد بر هیدرولیک را دارم تبدیل به پرس میکنم جک من 4/5سانت پیستون داخلی و10سانت قطر و 65سانت طول داره یعنی پرس 12تنی میشه ازش ساخت با یه موتوره 2/5اسب ایا میتونم

I need to do this so bad. I can find log splitters, both without a motor and even straight up electric log splitters. I just can’t handle the building and welding. I’ve got zero welding skill and even less welders… I live with some lower spine injuries that dictate my life. If I’m lucky I can spend 30 minutes at the forge in a week. And that’s me overdoing it to get my wife’s Christmas gift finished. A press would likely increase that by 300-400% at the absolute very least. I just don’t have spare income to forage for a cheap welder, a log splitter, the motor and all the other metal needed. Best of luck with yours.

Yes THANKS 🙏

Right on man. That thing sure is ugly. But who cares? You made and reinforced a freaking anvil. Nice work. Better than anything O could have done.

Fake sharp

Nice work bro 🫡

Valcano

A maker after me own heart

You are a complete nutter.... I love it

If it’s forklift tines for the body (4140) you don’t need to addd in a high carbon bit

I am hoping to put together my own little anvil 😊 but I don't have a welder or help or a lot of resources.wish me luck.🤞

I have a problem that I don't know how to solve. I use a coal forge and because of this I can’t properly monitor the temperature of the workpiece, because it is in the coals. When I want to do forge welding, my workpiece either melts into liquid metal or I don’t heat it enough and it oxidizes.

What happened to this guy??? He hasn't posted in 2 years

Id buy one too

The out come was great!! A really good cutting axe!! I loved the video, mistakes or miss happs in all, keep up the great work!!!

I've got some coil spring from a railroad engine about the same thickness or a bit larger diameter, I prefer to square it before punching the eye so it doesn't roll when the press is punching the hole.🤥

Nice, for the forge wleding and the edge quenching

Let he who has never stuck a drift in the hardy hole cast the first hammer head!

Wow nice work. Making a steak anvil at the moment, I have a couple of anvils but not very flat or square edge anymore. Made heaps of cool hardy tools though work ausome

Love your style! To make it glow blue try a light coat of white model paint, just dry brush it on and then add some blue florescent paint, Miniature paint from Vallejo is my go to florescent, it will create an intense bright blue that also glows under black light. Probably a bad idea on this beauty but its an idea!

Well done and thank you. I will be reviewing this several times. Love your sense of humor too by the way!

I'm guessing you have no knowledge at all of what you're doing combined with no common sense

I always find the best channels when they are dead! Clutter intro, "SEEN FELT AND Heard"

man this was one of the nicest axe forging videos ive ever seen! crazy good work brother!

Very impressive young man, I watched all 4 videos and I like the way you troubleshoot. It’s a rare quality in youngsters these days. Thank you for sharing, great, genuine format and production. Texas

Hey Bennett, hope you're doing well! I've been watching since the bloomery furnace livestreams (all 3 days lol), and enjoy your content! hope to see you finish up these knives, keep forging on my friend!

It looks like Kahless himself had forged it ❤️ Well done!

Dude, mount the freaking door the same way you hinged the top of the forge. No point in trying to reinvent the wheel.

Hmph, hmphhhh, hmphhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhh crash!

Spray the ceramic wool with a rigidizer next time.. usually comes in a spray bottle, a blue colored liquid. You soak the ceramic wool, the blue dye in the liquid helps to determine how much you have covered. A good dousing of that, then let it stand for a while. After it has stood for a while and permeated the wool. Use a torch, a tiger torch works well, but others I'm sure will do the job. Use a small flame. Then the wool will be nice and hard (or rigid as th3 name implies). No loose fibers. Then spread on the refractory cement

One more little tip if you're interested. When setting up and fitting your pieces together. Fit them corner to corner. It leaves a perfect corner joint for downhand welding on that gauge material. It will create a nice strong weld between both piece of material, and put you in a position to be able to use either a flapper disc or a sanding disc to round your corners nice and smooth without any loss to the integrity of the build. Just nice clean, finished corner joints.

For forming your roof portion. If you had a couple of pieces of pipe, you could set them up next to one another, as close or as far apart as deemed fit. Then place your sheet metal on top of the pipe and strike down, allowing you to round them slightly better. Or just lay it across a larger piece of pipe, with a bigger diameter and form the roof around that. Don't get me wrong, i am not critiquing your build in the slightest. You did a fantastic job, truly. I have been welding and fabricating for 20+ years now, and I still get really I spread when seeing guys like you get out there and create something amazing from an idea. Keep up the great work, and keep posting. I've been tempted to create videos on CZcams for some time, just unsure where to start. Official "new" subscriber. 👍

Why did you leave out the designs on the axe head?

That was interesting to whatch and I actually learned a lot. You were committed to it and I understand completely, I’m the same way when I start a project. Still turned out pretty good. 👍

It looks fantastic! I just wish that those runes were carved into the axe blade, then it would really look "Kratos" worthy!

Cluttery shop. I can so relate dude.

I bought for myself and it’s big as my arm

I stopped taking you serious at 58 seconds. Moving on

When are you going to do new videos?

When are you going to do new videos?

What a beautiful razor. You can't buy quality and function anymore. Well done!

Did you refining the bloom?

Did you qwinch in water?

Have you thought of making a ribbon burner forge?

If you can never weld a horizontal or vertical up or down weld when you can weld it as a flat weld.
