- Since I lost my old Anvil, I decide to make another one out of rusted Railroad track. It was not easy to make such perfect Anvil only with common tools. I put all my skills and desire to make this beautiful Anvil.

Молодец.Уважаю.Я так старый топор оживил.
I didn’t forget
After all that hard worke and I must say we'll done but this is not an anvil its just something that looks like an anvil
@@mick1gallagher it is hardened steel, it will work mostly :P
@@TohGahr yes but drop a hammer on that rail road piece and drop a hammer on on a real anvil and see the difference in the bounce and the difference in the sound along the anvil it's very good but still not an anvil
This video is a testament to the power of the simple angle grinder. If you wanna get into knife making, it's one of if not the best tool you can have. Grinding belts are expensive and homemade ones joined with flex tape work but aren't ideal. A lot safer though. I'm fortunate to have a lot of access to oxy and a cutting torch so I don't have to spend hours hogging out material, but I really appreciate the initiative. Railroad track is usually made of low carbon and (relatively) high manganese content for easy continuous casting and hot rolling. The surface of used track is usually work hardened because of the manganese, but you seem to have ground off the hardened case. I can't tell exactly what you're working with but it wouldn't hurt to forge weld a piece of leaf spring steel to the work surface. In this case, forge welding is easier than stick welding. Forge them together and let them anneal in the forge overnight. Heat them back to austenizing temp and quench in oil then temper to light blue. A blue spring temper is really all you need.
I respect your effort mate.I restore only a rusty hammer and I know how hard it was to make it shine.Golden hands you have .Be blessed .
Approximately how many cutting wheels did you use for this project?
I'd say about 50 to 75 and using those cut off wheels for angle grinding is dangerous if it was to break
@@peterrivney552 angle grinder is most versatile and dangurus tool in the workshop.
@@peterrivney552
Is there a power tool that ISNT dangerous if it breaks ?
Maybe stick to something safer mate , .
Like knitting
Yes
all of them
Beautiful work mate, to nice to use!
I bet your neighbours just loved the sound of that angle grinder,
not to mention the cost of discs!
Great job just the same.
You should market this as an award for railroad companies to buy. This craftsmanship is amazing! You REALLY do have something here. Take that idea and run with it!
I like that you polished the striking surfaces, and painted the support. Looks really good, and that's a perfect size for the average person working in their garage. Very useful item you made.
Amazing tools that can cut and shape such a heavy and thick iron track.
But the biggest applause goes to the person doing this job so perfectly!! He is a superb craftsman!!
Hats off to his skill !!
Appreciate you showing how you did this using one basic angle grinder (WITH the guard on the whole time), and some files. It may have taken a while but most railroad track anvil videos you find feature massive angle grinders, milling machines, and fancy metal bandsaws. Since I possess none of these items, I had resigned myself to my piece of railroad track just remaining in its railroad track-form and forging on that, but you have inspired me to take a stab at reshaping it into a better anvil!
Wow, what a work of art. I don't think I would even use that for blacksmithing. I would just display it in my shop. That is allot of skill you carry in your hands.
I don't think his name is Art-
It is pretty
Доброго здоровья мастер! Восхитительное упорство, целеустремлённость, трудолюбие и мастерство! Всех Вам БЛАГ!👍👍👍
Наковальня блеск! Будет чем жене огурцы надавливать 😁
@@user-hs9bn6qy1i, ну что Вы? Креозот крайне не полезен для здоровья, да и черный металл ( хоть и блестящий) в агрессивной среде не добавит огурцам изысканного вкуса. Пропаренный булыжник наше все.😀
Да мастер молодец и мышку покормил и наковальну сделал!!!

Fantastic job, Anvil looks amazing and great polished finish. Thanks for sharing.
One of the most amazing pieces of railroad track, a piece that does not rust at the ends.
Bạn chia sẻ video hay 👍
Super tare 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I need that! I used to use a piece of train track in the past, it’s fairly useful but this looks to nice to use. Good job
The most beautiful piece of metal i've ever seen
Patience and desire to complete. Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This very amazing Anvil 🤩your hard work pays off this rusty railroad that you turn into an amazing Anvil 👍👍👍
That anvelt looks so nice and polished that I would not even use it . I would just leave it as decoration 👍🏻🩷
Just the sight of you sawing the rail with a hacksaw made my hands feel sick, the steel in the rails is extremely strong, I can’t even imagine how much effort you spent on it 4:05-4:20
that anvil looks so nice, i don't think anyone would metalwork in that 😂
This is a massive effort, beautifully overworked where with a whole lot less effort on finish it would still serve the same pracitcal purpose as an anvil. Visually satisfying result
sometimes, it’s ok to invest in better tools like plasma cutters and/or industrial bandsaws. LOL! halfway through and seeing you use the hacksaw, I literal yelled “BRUH…”
And that’s followed by “…I USE ONLY SIMPLE TOOLS!!!!!!!” text across the screen, and I fell out of my seat laughing.
This was an exercise in determination; but regardless, the anvil came out beautifully.
Ты просто мазахист. Что себя так не любить 😮😮😮
That looked like it wasn't easy,as you stated in the beginning. However, that little anvil turned out beautiful. Most definitely a labor of love. Appreciate you posting this video. Excellent transformation! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That’s incredible. it’s like a work of art. Nice job.
Its 2.30 in the morning and I am watching this ?? Oh Boy !
A lot of hard work and obvious creativity. Beautiful end result. Bravo!
ਕਮਾਲ ਕਰਤੀ ਬਾਈ ਜੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਵਧੀਆ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹ ਆਰਨਬਣਾਇਆਇਹ ਲਾਈਨ ਦਾ ਟੋਟਾ ਘੱਟ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਵਧੀਆ
Đã là fan thì mãi mãi là fan😉💗
i love the ASMR in this video
A hand hacksaw on a railroad tie is the antithesis of fun.
Absolutely brilliant piece of workmanship, really interesting video. Unfortunately here in the UK a piece of railway track large enough to make an an anvil is prohibitively expensive. Loved the video.
yes beautiful wok, congratulations 👍👍👍👍
Nice work. Super. 👌👌
Супер спасибо красиво удачи вам
I did this very thing last year and made an anvil. The hardest part of making it was drilling out the hole for the Hardy hole. It was a lot of fun!
Like most master crafsmen, you make this look easy, but we all know just what an enormous task this must have been.
Well done.
Ihre Geduld ist beneidenswert. Sehr schön ist es geworden, in die Vitrine damit, nicht in die Werkstatt. Wieviel Trennscheiben haben Sie verbraucht? Gratuliere!
Отличная работа для выставки...
This is the best creative and forging perfect channel that i ever watch , with no dialogues , no special machine , only a guy with many full free time can do this
That’s more of a wonderful gift rather than a tool.
Gorgeous. Watching this made me miss my uncle and hanging out in his workshop as a little girl so much. Everything in me wanted to call and ask him to make me one.
Phenomenal work, my man. Goes to show what the versatility of an angle grinder, and a lot of elbow grease can do. Thumb'd & subbed.
Молодец. Руки растут из правильных мест.
Maravilhoso !
Não dá coragem de usar .
Serve como peça decorativa .
Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho .

Outstanding work! Congrats.
I like the part where you fed the meadow mole. But seriously nice job on the anvil
That's absolutely incredible. You have something that you should always be proud of.
Awesome work and a beautiful outcome. What I want to know is, how many grinding discs did you end up going through😂
That's exactly what I thought. Hundreds! 🤣
Also more money in discs than cost new small anvil. 😂😂😂
It is really amazing and economically advantageous.🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I'm not even talking about that hard work.🙈
My thoughts exactly!!!
I thought about that and why polish the working surface only? Will be ruined from first use ^^
You made an old piece of railroad track into an Anvil piece of art. I wouldn't want to hammer anything on it. I'd rather display it. Nice craftsmanship.
wow . Good idea its apiece of silver for display .
Wow! That's an absolutely beautiful Anvil! That's like a piece of Artwork in itself, in addition to being a really useful metalworking tool.
Great video - Nicely Done!
На шкаф хорошая штука,сувенир))))
Very nice job bet a Lot of people would buy them thanks for video
This might be my favorite one from your channel
Just a gorgeous result! Fantastic work.
Молодец отличная работа, сколько труда и терпения
Интересно сколько расходников потратил
The hardest part about doing this is keeping the top flat. Its extremely easy to dish out the top or create a hump. You did a good job keeping it flat!
You are the Wizard of iron
Magnificent .......really enjoyed watching that
So amazing for people to watch!
That's a piece of art.
Fanstastic work 👏👌 thanks my friend👍👍
Simply job but awesome result..👍❤️❤️
Без покраски он смотрелся намного интереснее☝️
Сколько кропотливой работы😮 сколько часов труда и часов работы ушло? Стоит такой труд этого?
Awesome job! Congrats man!
A man whose ability to transcend numb hands and aching forearms has produced a work of art.
How lucky to find a freshly cut piece of rail track in a pile of old steel! ;-)
This guy deserve 1 mln sub right now!!!! Is amazing!!!
This tiny anvil is so cute! Can't wait to see you use it in your next videos...
Тушканчик👍
Nagyon szép munka! Én sajnálnák dolgozni rajta! Ezt a darabot ki kellene múzeumban állítani! Gratulálok!
Very Impressive wow!!!!
That turned out beautiful, but that is a lot of work to create such a masterpiece.. thx for bringing us along... Take care my friend and God Bless you and your family...
That is art, thank you for sharing!
Stunning I'd display it differently a talking point brilliant and top quality from a very talented person 🇬🇧 uk
Perfect !!! Even a lazy person will want to work.
Really nice job, more like a piece of art than an implement.
Just a heads up for anyone watching you actually get a more practical railroad track anvil by mounting it in its end. You want as much solid iron or steel as possible directly underneath your hammer the orientation shown in this video will feel springy and make you work a lot harder to get the same amount of work done.
Nice work.
Watched this video start to finish with absolute amazement! The level of skill and craftsmanship this dude possesses is off the friggin scale!
Excellent workmanship!
How many hours did it take to complete this anvil? It’s beautiful! Thanks
Amazing skill brother
Good working keep it up thanks for sharing your experience Long live happy with your family and friends
just beautiful very impressive
Beautiful indeed
That would make a great hood ornament!😉
By 1:46, I would have said the hell with this and called it quits. You're not kidding. A TON of work.
Супер. Пожалуйста, используй перчатки))))!!
😃😳😮😳😮😃😃😃 DUDE‼️😃 You’re an amazing Metal Artisan‼️
Bravo......u need the mounting plate with rail road spikes for anvil.......cheers
Congratulations..... but who would want to hammer on such a beautiful anvil?
BEAUTIFULL
Al that work making it look beautiful and you couldn't be bothered to get all the rust off before panting it!
Beautiful Work of art
this is the best anvil
You made it too nice. Now you won’t want to ding it up. 😳😳😎
