This anvil can be made from a piece of railroad track with pretty much only one tool: the angle grinder! :) I won't lie, it has been a hell of a work to shape it. I must have underestimated this project a bit... Still came out looking great imo! Let me know what you think :)

Just a tip I learned from a guy who was a rail worker for 37 years, if you cut from the bottom to the start of the cap of the rail, you can stick a large chisel in and it will break clean off, and I mean it gives a very straight shear line if done right. That way you can avoid cutting through that hardened cap section.

@BlackBeardProjects 6 лет назад

That's interesting! So is the cap hardened? I thought so, but then I drilled through so easily I doubt :') If I'll ever find a big chisel for cheap I'll try! Thank you for sharing :)

@michaelthibault7930 5 лет назад

This suggests that the horn can be roughed in without cutting clean through the cap i.e. score the underside, then chisel two wedges away, then dress. Correct? Would extreme cooling of the cap -- say, with dry ice or liquid nitrogen -- ease the process or ensure a cleaner shearing plane?

When your doing the hammering can u do it slow once just so I can see exactly what your doing because I’m trying to learn

I just got a 4 footer FREE for the asking from RR workers at a crossing. At first they were hesitant - "not my department" , but the rail was marked orange for removal and it was around 4PM on a Sunday. Great inspiring video . . . I'm just gonna do a horn on one end.

Man, super nice job! I got a railroad track that i use as an anvil, but i don't have the heart to cut it up and turn it into an anvil because of the sentimental value! But great job, i'll keep an eye out for another one of these to make!

sam wilson that kind of metal will get harder as it heats up. Critical to keep it cool when grinding, or it will take forever.

@northernwoodsman 6 лет назад

To anyone considering doing this: I did this a couple months ago. The end result is nice but, it takes forever to cut these... I have a gas powered saw, one of those big ones that cut steel, and concrete. And it still took some time to cut through it. I tried with a standard grinder but i was eating through cutting disks! So I tried a big grinder like his... It was better , but still not enough. I didnt feel like spending all day cutting my piece of track. So thats when I used the big saw to do straight cuts. Trust me, it looks easy.

@BlackBeardProjects 6 лет назад

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or not, but I'll go ahead and repeat it if so. One of your videos popped up randomly on my recommended feed a few months ago and I was extremely intrigued! I don't personally do Smith work, but it is very interesting to me. The way you deliver your content is perfect! The music, the detail, the appropriate times to fast forward... everything is spot on. Keep doing what you're doing and your channel will be known all over the world in no time! Edit: Honestly, each time you upload a new video I will drop what I'm doing just to watch it.

But damn! thats a lot of grinding!! lol I do have an anvil so not sure it would be worth my time =) Track is ok for starting out in smithing or little projects but they just aren't hard enough for everyday smithy work. Rail is made to 38-42 rockwell so not the hardest stuff out there

@asymmattrical 5 лет назад

This is a great video with all the pertinent and important steps - without belaboring anything. Nice! Question: are you at all concerned about that the heat of cutting it so much, and firing it in the forge? As in losing it's temper... Also, that background music is awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
