My only complaint would be that since he must have started from a massive rectangular block, he could have removed less material and had an even heavier anvil. Probably could have hit 300lb. Damn fine anvil though, I hope it gets a proper heat-treatment and many years of use.
@@thedillestpickle Actually the block started at over 700 lbs. I don’t know if you have watched any of the other videos on this playlist. But I’m going to machine two other smaller anvils out of the extra material from the block.
Peter been watching for a while and would like to have you as a teacher. I’m a novice by all standards as a cnc machinist, hopefully one day I’ll be as good as you.
That is the coolest, stealthiest anvil I've ever seen! This took an incredible amount of skill to make. You know how people say it's a work of art? I really like the shape and the way the light reflects. Thanks Peter.
Wonderful looking great effort produced a really nice anvil, we think this is awesome to watch you make it on your CNC machine, great job, great video series. Take care stay well, Lance & Patrick.
That is so freakin AWSOME! I want to know when your gonna start selling them man, I've been watching the anvil machining since a few months ago when you made 2 smaller ones. I'm actually trying to buy a big enough anvil to be considered a real anvil myself right now. I wish I could build my own like this, this is freakin killer man.
I always said I would never own a car that I couldn't drive, a firearm i couldn't shoot but I think I found an anvil I wouldn't use as an anvil. TOO DAMN BEAUTIFUL.
I think the obstacles and solutions that get developed to deal with them are just fascinating. I really enjoy opportunities to increase my knowledge and problem solving skills. By supplementing it with a veterans knowledge.
Those scales should be pretty accurate. If peeps haven't opened the scale and pulled on the main spring, they keep their accuracy for many years. One other thing, clean the pivot point and put a dab of way oil on it (it's under the top cover). If you can, of course, some of these are locked, so you can't mess with them. Source: i own a couple of similar ones and mine haven't lost calibration since 1984/1993 when the last stickers are from. I check them once in a while using a 1kg unit, and a 10kg unit, which are both calibrated weights. Old school scales are the best, they know no death if given some TLC.
What a beautiful piece of ART. The wave effect of the ball end mill , to me creates the effect of the metal being poured and the grain flow in the metal of the completed anvil. PS : Why no just chisel the sharp edges off. Ha, ha, ha NOT!!!!
I run a machine with the same control as yours in my shop, if you're running up against memory limit issues in the controller it's a fairly trivial process to set up DNC to the machine using OneCNC DNC and a USB->RS232 cable (there are a few specific ones that will work, some won't.) Then all you need is a laptop to keep near the machine and you can run as large of a program as you want. Read-ahead on these controls is pretty bad so I would recommend some feed rate reduction on higher feed cuts.
Just breath taking, what power/speeds did this job use. I was taking CNC class in the early 80’s ,we hand programmed paper tape with graph paper ,each move was based off the last move ,what a pain.
This has got to be some of the best work I have seen on CZcams. I am bias for sure as I have a strong desire to buy this anvil. What would this cost me to purchase. Just asking Sir. Very nice work using cutouts for great projects !!!!!! Peace
It would be very hard for.me to do any work on this anvil! It would probably go into a show case! It looks more like something you would find In a treasure chest. Lol..
Peter I would be greatful if you could run through your process on planing a job , I assume that you get the engineers prints as a cad file , but what are your thoughts on looking for the parts that are not possible to machine and the way you make sure that all the machining is done one a part , do you use a check sheet or WHY . BTW I have learnt a lot from your videos in the way you systematically approach the task at hand
@edgeprecision Hey Mr. Peter beautiful work man, by any chance can you do a video on the programming, the toolpaths you chose. Like the how, when, and why. It doesn't have to be about how to use esprit, more about the approach..? If you will..
Peter, that tease at the start got me laughing and certainly trapped me for the whole video XD Do you plan on heat treating the anvil when you're done?
Peter, can you make a quick video on determinating the center of rotation on a horizontal machining center? I think you mentioned it during the initial setup of the roughing of the anvils but ended up using several work offsets instead.
That has got to be one of the finest anvils on planet earth~ beautiful work Peter.

I sure would love to have one but iam sure the price would be astronomical! But what a beautiful piece!
@@EdgePrecision Sir, is it 4140 steel?
@@ayrkotu1612 no 4340 steel forging.
Trade, 60 yr old wife, 10 yr old bull terrier, lots of kids, 1990 Ford F-150 and a new 8 foot fiberglass ladder. I love that ladder!
Bet if you toss in grandpa's fly rod...
good 1
18:00 That clearance between the tip of the horn and the toolholder had me puckered up!
Likewise. 16:33 made me tense up everywhere as well.
Not sure how practical this is for a blacksmith, but I'd buy it as a centerpiece work of art for my house! Beautiful job.
I don’t want this series to end. I love seeing you make anvils.
should change the channel name to cnc machined anvil channel and just make anvils
Same here!, this is the best channel ive found on here!
It has always amazed me to see a CNC machine in action. Beautiful finished product. Thanks for sharing this!
16:18 those moirè patterns are beautiful... who's the lucky guy who gets this masterpiece??
I'm not sure how often it's mentioned to you but your programming is amazing. Some of those tool paths took a lot of thought.
Peter been watching for a while and would like to have you as a teacher. I’m a novice by all standards as a cnc machinist, hopefully one day I’ll be as good as you.
nothing like a custom anvil. thank you for having interest in doing such a project.

Thanks Guys! How about some videos? I miss you guys.
I also miss you guys.
Thought younz had fallen off the map! MORE CONTENT!
Love the proportions that anvil has! Looks very cool👌
.......like something done by H.R. Giger, brought to life.....a truly functional piece of modern industrial art, excellent work.
This is not a tool ,is a piece of art a machinart
That is a beautiful tool you made there. Find the right buyer and you can sell it as an art piece.
Engraving at 40kW! :) Nice video... and the most expensive filming turntable on all of YT at the end. Brialliant.
That is some slick programming, the 3D path on the horn with the shell mill
That is so freakin AWSOME! I want to know when your gonna start selling them man, I've been watching the anvil machining since a few months ago when you made 2 smaller ones. I'm actually trying to buy a big enough anvil to be considered a real anvil myself right now. I wish I could build my own like this, this is freakin killer man.
I had a machine, early Deckel FP4 nc with 24k memory.....that was a challenge every time. Great work once again Peter!
In the old days before Cam software we ran simple programs. Now with the software and new cutting strategies it takes a lot more memory.
So awesome Peter! Thanks for explaining why you couldn't face the cone on the anvil.
Love the logo. Great work. 👍
Awesome work Peter!
Wow! Wonderful result Peter! I hope I can be such as skilled and playful when I'm your age. Thank you! Mesmerizing cuts...
That is a piece of art! Someone is going to be a lucky person to receive that from you.
I wish I could be this guy’s apprentice for awhile, wow. Awesome
That is wild how you use the outside of that face mill to round out that horn. 👍
This is such an extra way of making an anvil, I love it.
I always said I would never own a car that I couldn't drive, a firearm i couldn't shoot but I think I found an anvil I wouldn't use as an anvil. TOO DAMN BEAUTIFUL.
Let’s just say I was not disappointed. Very good camera work very good machining
I think the obstacles and solutions that get developed to deal with them are just fascinating. I really enjoy opportunities to increase my knowledge and problem solving skills. By supplementing it with a veterans knowledge.
That’s absolutely gorgeous.
15:46 great cam work in here ........ these machines never cease to amaze me
Stunning, I lack the words to describe the craftsmanship and attention to detail!
Nicest anvil I have ever seen. You could show it in an art gallery. Nice work Peter.

That anvil is so cool. What cool surface finishes
The first ten seconds had me frustrated like it was prom night all over again.
Just found my new sweet dreams before bed video! Thanks man! It looks AMAZING!
Long time viewer loving the new format!! Piece of foam in front of the mic? Perfection.
Master craftsman work! Ok, I need 50 of them lol!
A thing of beauty! Bet after heat treatment it will ring like a bell with two horns to vibrate.
Thank you so much for the captions! Am by no means gay, but love your channel and dedication to detail!
Interesting watching the tool paths.
Always a pleasure watching your videos
Gorgeous work. Thanks for the video Peter!
como siempre un trabajo magnifico y un video del que disfrutar y aprender..muchas gracias por tu tiempi..un saludo y mucha salud
cnc machined from a good forging... that thing is a GEM

I think I mentioned in the video. When I recut the horn the program was 5 meg size. I ran that from my laptop thru the serial cable in the DNC mode.
Just breath taking, what power/speeds did this job use.
I was taking CNC class in the early 80’s ,we hand programmed paper tape with graph paper ,each move was based off the last move ,what a pain.
That is a gorgeous piece of steel.
Brilliant, you are an artist!
Truly a metal sculpture of an Idylic anvil that I would absolutely defile by using... and use it I WOULD
Beautiful job Peter. Well done.
What a beautiful piece you made ! and very interesting video as always !
Great job Peter! Looks fantastic.
Thanks Bill!
Looks and sounds beautiful Peter!
ATB, Robin
Hello Peter
thank you for this magnificent video
the result of your work is mouth-watering.
it's almost a crime to hit this with a hammer
What a beautiful piece of work it is one hell of an anvil.
excellent job on the cam, thats a lot of planning
What a work of art!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing! It's a piece of blacksmithing jewelry.

That's a beautiful anvil! I can't wait to what the small ones look like.
Holy balls, that's a little close on that horn! Miss is a mile I guess 😅
I checked it before running the program. It clears by .010”. As good as a mile.
@@EdgePrecision
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse!
That had me puckered up
I would put that in my living room! Love it!
How do I get this anvil? It would be an honor to forge on such a beautifully machined piece of equipment. Good work!
YAY ! [That is one epic/ kick-ass anvil ] beautiful moves + design.
Great Work.
Greetings from germany
Nem semmi!! Köszi!👍👍👍
I watch your videos all the time love the anvil wish can have one
That thing came out awesome!
It is a thing of beauty!
Its so nice to see something made just because you can fantastic work love it
What a teaser opening!

It would hurt Me To beat that thing with my steel hammer, but the hammer would surely get the worst of it.. Nice piece. Well done.
Computers are so cool these days
Just Awesome, beautiful job Peter.
Thanks Randy!
Peter! Made my morning!

Do you plan on heat treating the anvil when you're done?
Why would heat treat and make it shatter when hit with a hammer ?
your hammer is heat treated too and it doesn't shatter when you hit something with it though, right?
@@HAGmbHkeG 👆
@@peterresetz1960 first you heat treat, then you temper! That way it doesn't shatter.
I believe he said it was a pre heat treated material
In a word, masterpiece!
Great job made by an amazing crafter thumbs up
Very nice programming and part.
Un Real just mad well done that man
How it is posible to dislike it?

My man another impressive video .
What brand was your engraving tool 🔧.
Is your horizontal a mazak ?
The engraving tool is a .062 die sinking ball endmill. My horizontal mill is a Mitsubishi M-H80E.
Good work. Good man.
