Yes, very nicely done and probably quite adequate for the task. If I make one myself, I'll try to run the wood pieces through a surface planer to make sure they're flat, smooth and all the same dimensions. Also, I'd coat each wood piece individually with several coats of boiled linseed oil to protect the wood from moisture and excessive swelling. Even with very strong bands, moisture can cause significant and uneven expansion in the wood over the long term. And yes, it is best to NOT glue the wood into a monolithic block for this purpose. Banding is perfect. Alternatively, steel pallet bands can be employed with similar results, but would probably take 3-4 bands for adequate support depending on how hard you're going to hit the work piece on the anvil.
The "beast" looks like a HUGE chopping block! Minus the anvil. But that anvil truly is a beauty! I'm inspired Hassan! A christmas goose could lose it's head over this package!
I kept my eye out for a big old chunk of maple trunk for my uncles 80 lb antique anvil which I finally came across after over a year about 5 years ago snd left me tell to the patina on that beauty is awesome and is the conversation piece of my shop
Fantastic !! Mine is a tiny piece of railroad tie that barely spans two blocks tied together with a handle and a X-brace from a cut up car ramp. I haz the envy !!
cool Anvil stand. I made mine out of two-by-fours glued together with liquid nail and screw together on each layer laying flat 3 foot One Direction 2 foot the next direction. They are heavy and have been in use for 15 years
Nicely done. Couple of thoughts - the end grain is not going to hold those spikes well if you really use the anvil regularly. I think you should strap the anvil. Second, the clamps are going to catch a leg when you walk by - consider either making a smooth cover or redesigning the straps to make them less likely to catch something.
Уважаю умельцев, у кого и руки прямые, с фантазией, эстетикой полный порядок, и поделиться этим могут быстро и толково! Единственное, не показал, как борется с вибрацией и звоном. UPD. ааа, нашел))) это в другом ролике!
Be hard to get in over the top of that anvil to do a proper job with blacksmithing. Also the anvil needs to be bolted down so it has no bounce in it. I would have personally ran all the timber through a jointer to get a tighter fit as well.
Its funny. I recently bought an anvil and thought of this video. I had a bunch of fence posts laying around but they were remnants of other projects and they were too short to use standing straight up. So i cut them to 12inches and laid them on their side instead. Still works.
You have the most beautiful selfmade tools ever! Echt eindrucksvoll und fast zu schade fürs Schmieden :D Darf ich fragen woher du den Amboss hast. Ich suche auch schon längere Zeit nach einem.
well you may be able to but your posture will not be correct...let me clarify....you do not want to lean over, your back will be sore after 1 hr...this is what they teach you in blacksmith class which I took years ago...
feines teil, wirkt recht massiv. :) bist du zufrieden mit der kappsäge? brauch ne neue, mein favorit war bisher die bosch GCM 12 SDE wegen der enormen schnitthöhe. dewalt hatte ich gar nicht so richtig auf dem schirm. grüße und weiter so!
Ich habe gestern einen Amboss- Untersatz nach demselben Prinzip gebaut, nur hatte ich leider keine so schöne Kappsäge und musste es mit Hand sägen, daher muss ich noch ein wenig die Flächen nachschleifen, sie sind nicht so schön glatt. :/ Warum hast du an die enden vom Flachstahl ein weiteres Stück Flachstahl geschweißt? Toller Untersatz, VG, Edgar
I believe he welded the small pieces of steel on the ends of the straps in order to provide space for the heads of the bolts when he tightened the straps. If he were to weld the nuts directly to the straps, he would not be able to get the socket on the bolt head.
Du machst echt gute Videos, und hast gute Ideen. Ich werde mir auch so eine "Klotz" bauen aber ihn als Hackklotz zum schnitzen benutzen danke für die Inspiration und mach weiter so 👌🏻
