Quieting the ring on a noisy anvil and mounting to a base

- The anvils ring can have a nostalgic quality to it. But a noisy anvil can also be miserable to work around. Today I re mount my anvil to its base in hope of quieting my loud anvil.Quiet that anvil, you'll have a more peaceful time in the shop

I thought I watching my dad. But he don't blacksmith.....that I know of
My jaw dropped to the floor when I heard the difference, it's time to update my anvil stand. Great video.

Sᴋᴇʟᴇᴛᴏʀ The boy awwwww man
I think I've found Jamie hyneman's dad
His Dad was a Walrus.
tbh
Why is this too accurate
The magnets work because as the anvil vibrates, the magnet has to accelerate towards the anvil since it isn't physically bonded, this lag is out of phase with the vibration so it has the effect of dampening it.
isn't it crazy how magnets work?
@@ototo4508 its magic
Thanks dad.
@@SilvaaFabio you make a joke like that then upvote your own post?
SCIENCE!
You must have a lot of XP to use the anvil that much
Thanks man, 10/10
You must have worked sooooo hard on that joke i haven’t seen the exact same thing 3 times already at alll
Honestly you are the Bob Ross of blacksmithing! I realy enjoy wathcing you work!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Next we'll be forging happy little clouds, or something like that
Happy little scroll
Maybe he should say something like "And remember my friends, Anvils are our friends" at then end of each video!

It was also on my recommend.

I bet you just clamped it down because you were worried that someone might pick the anvil up and run away with it.
Yep, last week I walked away with two ( one in each arm). Really easy, will do again.
Dudes legit as hell reminds me of ron Swanson
The actor of Ron Swanson reminds me of Ron Swanson
Nick offermen if I spelled it right. It’s the voice similarity
Excellent way to lock down an anvil! What you did would be considered "tornado-proofing" your anvil here in Mississippi. Th' shop might be gone, but the anvil didn't budge.
Reminds me of one of the smiths north of here after flooding a few years ago. A friend was helping to clean up scooping mud out with a skid loader. The loader came to an abrupt stop, he had found the 400 pound anvil.
Haha!!
Black Bear Forge is
put the chains back on just for the aesthetics always looked cool. but still leave your clamps on they worked well
1.15 minecraft update looking good 😤😤
I don’t know why this was recommended... or why I watched the entire thing... but i found it really entertaining
I thought, "Yeah yeah… Chains and magnets…" But I clicked to watch anyway. I'm blown away by the results.
It came out better than I hoped, so I'm happy
@@BlackBearForge
Do you happen to be familiar with sand underground for anvil or a sheet (2-3 mm, guess that's about 1/10 inch thick) of lead between the block and the anvil to reduce clinging noise? Anyhow mounting it on silicone seems to work awesome too, and with the extra metal clamps it will probably hold.
I know nothing about smacking metal into things but somehow, youtube told me I needed to watch this. And in no way am I complaining.
I love seeing people who make videos about there hobbies/jobs that are really cool like black smithing
Did I just watch 20 Mins of a Man fixing his anvil to be quieter
Yes I did
Yes I did
Thanks, now I can put Mending to my stuff without waking up my neighbors.
for the past week this has been in my recommendations and i don’t regret watching this now lol
"One method is just to wrap chains around them"
Exactly what I do when my gf gets noisy too.
working with your hands is
one way to truly enjoy your life
I remember my grandfather using a piece of strop leather under his anvil. It seemed real effective. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I think the ears appreciate that little trick quieting the Anvil. Looks lots cleaner than the chains. That will be on my to do list. Thanks John.
Now i can go on a steath mission with my stealfy anvil.
Mission impossible music starts to play
Awesome ! My anvil rings my hearing aids so much that I have to cut them off when using it - this system you developed should be the perfect answer to my problem . THANKS !!!
I don’t anything about blacksmithing or anvils, but for some reason I found this really interesting
hey mate
i wanted to say thank you so much i spent 3 weeks straight trying to change my mic and audio to stop the shattering anvil ring. it never ever occurred to me to fix (or that you even could) fix the anvil.
thank you so so so much
It is amazing how much louder an anvil sounds on camera than it seems to in person
Black Bear Forge that is very very true
@@greywolf0 you're a blacksmith and a gamer? Why arent you making more videos?!?
@@AnonOmis1000 some people describe my voice as frog like shrill and my face as a bad face to beard ratio. I do have the best windows media player trasitions money didnt buy tho. People love them dont they?
I love the comments of people saying things about how they need to do this to their anvil! Almost as if it's something everyone has in their home
I liked this video, not only on CZcams but also personally.
I miss blacksmithing... As a child i was often at my godfather. He is art smith and makes realy cool things out of metal.
Most of the time i made small items such as nails or small animals (a snail is realy easy, great for beginners). There was a history festival one time while i was visiting him and we where showing kids how small and easy things are made (again small animals, small metal smiley for the key and such things).
That was great because that was exactly what i used to make and i had a great time while making everyone exactly what they wanted :D
Good old times... I wish there where a bigger market for blacksmithing here in germany. I would love to work as one but you cant life from what you get paid because not many people want something handmade anymore.
I like this channel, i will stay a while and listen ;)
I watched a demonstration of a blacksmith making a nail. I really appreciated the ease that we can get a nail today.
I don’t have an anvil I don’t do blacksmithing but I still watched all 20 minutes of this video and finally happy with a CZcams suggestion video 👌🏽
Wanted to do this to mine for ages but I think this sealed the deal. Also posted on my birthday so it’s a sign
Growing up the grandfather's were still alive & well. I would be included in any trip to another tradesman's shop. I clearly remember grandda giving any anvil he walked by a firm but gentle slap to listen to the bell ring.
Although the opportunity is not very common; I walk in their shoes and will give an anvil a spank.
It surprises me how many people who own an anvil don't know about the bell inside of it. Thank you for allowing us to visit with you at your shop.
I don’t even have an anvil but I subbed...
He’s so calming to listen to
My Grandpas anvil was mounted on leather to a tree stump buried in his shop floor. He had home made U clamps at angles that crisscrossed and fit into notches in the stump. It had a dull thumpy ring to it but didn't hurt your ears even after hours of use. Good vid, try the leather
Whoa, that worked way better than I would have expected. Damn, the difference is amazing. The anvil is practically silent compared to the ring it had before!
I just LOVE ❤️ the Steel classic ANVIL 👍🏻
Never thought I'd find such a relatively basic project to be so fascinating, but those 20 minutes went by *real* fast
0:00.... MISSISSIPPI QUEEN!!!
As a longtime 'maker' and 'handy' type, but blacksmithing noob, I always learn so many additional little tricks from your videos, like for example those simple but cool custom-made clamps, and your general overall 'approach'... plus you're also a great teacher, thx!
Thank you
Enjoyed that. Just bought my first anvil at 54 off a retired craftsman. It came on a big solid oak block of wood. I noticed that was bolted down onto the wood with plasticine underneath it. Now I know why. The anvil is pretty quiet tbh. It obviously works.
Awesome video as a mechanic I had a hard time watching you manually wrench without grabbing a cordless impact but slow and steady always wins
Before I watched the video: Okay, CZcams, I'll watch it.
After I watched the video: Huh, that anvil was pretty noisy. Neat.
Hi John! I just wanted to tell you how much this video helped me! I just started blacksmithing a short time ago and have a small piece of railroad track for an anvil. The first time I struck it, the sound was so loud, high pitched, and piercing that dogs 2 blocks away started barking. It was absolutely not going to work. But, a little silicone and strapped it down tight with some pipe strap and now it sings much more beautifully. Thanks for the video! It really helped.
I'm glad it helped out. Keep forging
going to have to wear my hearing aids when I watch you again.. Great job I quess mine next.
Asphalt roofing shingles work really well to quite and level the anvil.
Anvil are slightly angled 0.0.01* degree
Blacksmith: I sense the disturbance in the FORCE...
Nil, watching blacksmiths who just enjoy what they do really makes me want to join that career as an apprentice and help them out
Well CZcams algorithm just gave this guy a sub
This was a terrific video, enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for posting!
This was in my recommended box because I watched a music video with the band Anvil, and I don't regret clicking on it. You're doing good work, algorithm.
The sound of the anvil is a big part of what makes blacksmithing cool.
and a big part of why so many blacksmiths are deaf
I wish I could have taken shop class and had a teacher like you.
Thanks
"Make an improvement in your shop" -- what a great piece of advice, and something I actually did today. Thanks for another useful video.
First 10 seconds.

The difference is incredible!
Thanks for sharing! I have an anvil I an wanting to mount and watching your videos I have learned a lot!
I like your style!! I did nothing more than to make clamps to secure my hay budden to the block. It is solid and quiet.
Other anvils have a rubber mat or chain wrapped waist with forged nails to secure in place. The clamps perform best. They serve to hold secure and quiets the ring to a thwack!
Nice job mate. Now I know what to do when I set up. Thanks for that.
I re-watch this video over few months just because the change in the ring is so drastic. 12/10 good job.
Halfway through the video and I'm asking myself why am I here .... And I love it
Wow!! Huge difference, John. I am so stealing this. Thanks!
A clean, tidy and well executed solution that worked incredibly well!
hank Quinones love seeing this blacksmith shop and the other thing in it.
this will be real handy next week. just purchased an anvil and she needs some damping.
Wow, what a great video! You explain things clearly and to the point. I must also say you are an excellent teacher.
What a difference your anvil quieting project made. I watched 2 other of your videos before this one (your most popular one)

PS I've been looking for a quality anvil for a while now, the large Peter Wright anvils are my favorite and it seems are the most rare & expensive.
Tank: "upload how to quiet an anvil"
Matrix: dee doo dee doo
Neo: *opens eyes* "i can quiet any anvil"
Show me
Thank you Ron Swanson!
Another suggestion for those who are on a budget. You can go to either a scrap yard or local tire shop and get you an old tire, and cut out the tread section. Lay them flat on your stump. Then secure your anvil on top. That too will help quieten down your anvil as well. My Grandpa Smith have done it many of time. Oh how it works wonders.
WoW! John, That really did the trick. I built a stand for my new to me 300lb Henery Wright last week and set it on a piece of belting. It helped but your clamp system is next. Thanks
Awesome job man this was an amazing experience watching your video keep up the good work!
Great video, I really like the anchoring system ... 100% improvement. I am going to use that system on my 200 pounder.
Thanks
Hey Black bear. Use leather friend. It helps drastically and also looks good. Best place to wrap it would be around the neck of the anvil. Also, the ring helps with metal working anyhow. Take care and keep up the craft. Hopefully you can pass your craft off to a grand kid or child. These are crafts that need to always exist. I personally have been working with extracting iron from what most would just a call a rock. Cool stuff.
Good idea I keep a heavy rubber mat under my anvil and then strap it down living in the middle of Cumberland MD I need it as quite as possible
I've found that a sheet of lead (1/8" thick)underneath the anvil works well. Regards, Matthew
Brilliant solution! Fuzzy magnets. That was funny. Who doesn't like fuzzy magnets? They provide a quality substitute until you get a dog for the shop. :-) Thank you for sharing your vast experience at forging.
Me personally I don't mind the anvil ring...it is a good reminder of a beautiful art
Let me guess why you're here:CZcams randomly recommended this video to you and you decided to watch it because it has an anvil in the thumbnail how do I know? Because you're not alone
I really liked this video. You sir have gained a new subscriber
Mate, that is brilliant. We had the same anvil (I reckon) and it sat on the concrete.
This comes under the term "you never stop learning".
That was excellent. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the "after" ring. So dead! Love it. Good idea well excecuted!
When your welding magnets get completely wrecked with that iron dust, a lit oxy acetylene torch works well. Hammer the oxygen thumb valve wide open like you are about to start cutting. It blows and burns the fuzz right off the magnets without heating them up too badly at all. Old millwright trick.
Thanks
You seem so nice and wholesome, I'm subscribing
Thank you Ron Swanson.
Thumbs up for the dramatic improvement. I have some magnets on my anvil to keep it from ringing. But sometimes those magnets do funny things to what I'm working on. Which is annoying.
My 308lb Soderfors rings loud I'm using a big tow chain and it helps a lot. That's the same way i put mine on the stump with a 2x8 ramp. I think I'm going to mount mine this way. Great idea.👍
I also have a Söderfors, 434lb made in 1907 from cast steel, it rings like a church bell :)
I've got a demonstration coming up and an anvil that rings like a bell, I'm gonna try to deaden it so that I'm less obnoxious to passerby. Thanks for the video!
In my world, it’s called damping the resonance of the mass. The silicone pad you created along with the bolts transmitting energy to the wood block is what did it.
this guy is the best. hes like my grandpa
if he wasn't dead
