I’d be curious to see how that heat affected the temper of the anvil….

@JohnWheels 2 года назад

Merry Christmas! I did the same thing to the bigger anvil a while ago and it was well worth it. I made a couple inserts for the hardy hole with square tubing and a big flat plate with a 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 sizes because the 3/4" pritchel hole was too big for the stuff I do. Keep up the great work!

@JacksonDunnoKnows 2 года назад

I don't have a welder... yet. I was thinking about trying to rig up something similar to what you guys did with the hardy hole. And I love the hacks for the acciaio. Keep em coming! I'll be using the big Blu for the next 5 to 10 years till I get enough for a life anvil... secretly I want one of those monsters from anvil planet.. but he's in Italy... lol As always, great stuff. ⚒🍻⚒

Thanks for another great video Roy. I'm looking forward to the Harbor freight anvil make over. I keep trying to jack mine up and make it all high speed, just to see if it is worth it. I have to refinish it anyways so maybe I can put something together too. Hmmm😄✝️ thanks again

Good idea! I don't have a welder and depending on whose anvil I'm using? I just whip out the handy dandy bolster plate and be done with it....

Nice clean up of the design Roy

@baldwin9281 2 года назад

Mine are both (66 and 132) pretty hard… very unusual luck for me. I don’t want to mess with the heat treat so I’ll stick with my bolsters till I can get a Holland. If I did that mod I would stick weld hard face I suppose. Merry Christmas to you both, sorry I missed the giveaway. 😢 God Bless!

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Sorry you missed It too 😞 but look on the bright side 😃 there's always next year 😊

@robertboyer5498 Год назад

Just wondering if it would make sense to weld that hole shut, maybe build up a cutting table there, and then drill a new pritchel hole on the other end behind the hardy hole? Even just filling the hole and making it all horn would seem better to me.

@amazingrestorations9190 2 года назад

Good idea 😉

@jetmaker5651 2 года назад

What wire did you use? Does it hold up , no cracks?

@JohnThawley 2 года назад

You use any special MIG wire, or just some basic mild steel stuff?

@Eledaraumar 2 года назад

Are you familiar with Centaur Forge? They have one that is made from a section of rail track that has been machined flat and claims to have been hardened. It also has an extension welded on for the hardie hole. As an aspiring smith, I don't know if I should go for the Centaur track anvil or just get the 66lb Acciaio

@glennmartin6492 2 года назад

Seems to me that bumpout would be an easy thing to incorporate into the mold for future anvils if Acciaio is watching.

@ToraKwai Год назад

would it not be easier to drill another hole at the other end of the anvil?

@Volundur9567 2 года назад

Our buddy has one of these. Overall a clone of an Italian pig but I don't like the location of the pritchel hole. The "square horn" or tapered heel is very useful for odd shaped stuff though.

@pyropocket 2 года назад

Pretty sure I saw the washer on your ground clamp glowing in the video. Check that the connection is tight. This could be causing your welder trouble.

@willong1000 2 года назад

I appreciate that you mentioned preheating the anvil before welding; but did you say which filler wire material you used? Since you were welding on cast iron, for the first few passes at least, did you use a high nickel content?

@tomt9543 2 года назад

This thing is cast steel, not cast iron. Cast or forged steel is infinitely more weldable than cast iron, and is easily done with common mild steel electrodes or wire. I’d be more inclined to use 7018, but I’m very old and set in my ways! I was a certified welder for 41 years repairing railroad equipment, and we were constantly welding on cast steel. Many wear items on railcars are made of cast steel and when they’re worn to their condemning limits, we would air arc or torch the old parts off and weld new ones back on with 7018 or flux cored/gas shielded wire. Some of these parts were in excess of 300lbs.!

@paulorchard7960 2 года назад

Yep, understand why you needed to do that!

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Yeah that's One big design flaw.

@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740 2 года назад

Very kuul work around for the pritchel hole as well as the previous work around for the Hardly! Just curious. In your opinion, would there be any bennifits to filling the center void under the belly between the feet. Other than added mass/ weight? Son was asking if he could fill w hard cast lead. Worried he may break the feet off. Idk maybe if the face was set in a few inches of circulated water it wouldn't effect heat treatment? Unsure here, of course there would be mechanical bond ridges added to keep it from just falling out LoL God bless prosperous new Year Crawford out 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼‍♂️

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Other than added weight no there wouldn't be any benefits unless you were to completely weld it solid And Then the effective Mass would change 🙂 God bless you sir for all your continued support and happy New year 🎉

Hey Roy. How long did you work to finish this hole? A worker told me this takes many ours of time. Regards

@goofyjoe1 Год назад

I know this video is kinda old but since the Doyle dropped. I definitely prefer the design and layout but still want the larger size. I was curious if anyone has drilled a Pritchett hole on these?

@jamessnodgrass7360 2 года назад

I got the 60 kilo one Roy. It's got the same issue. Do you think I could put a 3/4 plate with proper size hole in it and weld it in ?

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Yes that could work just make sure you don't overdo the face as to soften It 🙂

@brysonalden5414 2 года назад

Porous weld or not, you fixed the problem.

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Thank you for the vote of confidence 🙂

@jeramymatyak4372 2 года назад

Say a person was gonna do this to a 135lb. And maybe put a sleeve in to shrink the pritchel a bit. What's a good common size for a pritchel hole? I'm thinking about having the hardy reduced to 1" while I'm at it

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

3/8" to 1/2" is a great size for small work

@tomcarlson3244 2 года назад

Great idea, why would they offset the Pritchett hole like that. Just to say they had one.

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Just bad design work

@justin_ray 2 года назад

Great idea, probably no advantage to using hard facing rods since the anvil is not that hard. Maybe if you quenched or case hardened the anvil? 😉

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

LoL Justin don't tempt me 😉 might make great content....

@wesleymccravy901 2 года назад

Not that hard?!? Mine is pretty darn tough and hard. Several years of use and there is one tiny ding from where a girl was using a 12lb undressed sledge to strike for me and missed. I told her i would just make do, then I acquired a striking block shortly after for other folks swinging

Roy, I'm trying to get into blacksmithing/bladesmithing... Would this small anvil be a good choice? I'm on a VERY fixed income and it's really all I can afford so I'm hoping you say yes.

@Volundur9567 2 года назад

I've worked with someone who has the same one. It's plenty fine for you. It will dent easier but that is not the issue.

@georgegriffiths2235 2 года назад

The weld problem was probably the material not the welder cast is renowned for being porous

@jllaine Год назад

It's terrible because it wasn't intended as a Pritchel Hole, it's a pass through for your socket wrench using a long socket extension to lag-bolt the base to your stand from above. But an excellent workaround you have for turning it into a workable Pritchel Hole.

@ChristCenteredIronworks Год назад

Thanks for watching

@demastust.2277 2 года назад

Oh wow big improvement, how impressive. You made the anvil smaller. Big deal. (Iamjokingpleasedon'tkillme)

@insanityforge8340 2 года назад

Seems like welding that close to the face would soften the face of the anvil

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

It might a little bit but the face was 54hrc before welded and the heat never even ran colors

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

@ibast1 2 года назад

Since these anvils are cast I'd be inclined to pre-heat the base material. 120 C should do the trick. I wouldn't go much more as it might affect the hardness of the face. I probably wouldn't post heat unless I was going to heat treat the whole anvil again. But I might use compressed air to cool the final weld run.

@grandadz_forge 2 года назад

Ha ha

@nonaaxelrod6855 2 года назад

You should have preheated it I've been a welder 45 years. Not Nona her husband Richard

@ChristCenteredIronworks 2 года назад

Probably should of but considering this isn't a joint to be put under any real strain it most likely will be ok .. this anvil is for Jessica and her jewelry work. But Yes your right
