In this video, I turn a Railroad Track into an Anvil using an Angle Grinder.
This was a good metalworking project for me, I totally enjoyed doing this, it was one of those simple jobs I like, putting something on the workbench cutting some stuff off it, and cleaning it up a bit, and the job is done. Hahaha, Good times.
I hope you enjoy my video of making an Anvil from a railway track. The finished weighed = 10kg (22 pounds)
The main tools used, were an angle grinder, a 5-inch random orbital sander, and a bench vice.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

Alright, you proved to me that you were capable of pretty much anything when I challenged you to make a Prusik knot from rebar, and you did it…… cold! But this one is over the top! I retired in 2020 after 41 years as a certified welder for the railroad, and I’ve seen all kinds of crude anvils fashioned from different sizes of rail including a piece of 132lb. (Per yard) that I have on a stump in my shop. It’s length is similar to yours, and my brother in law who’s a machinist volunteered to take it and machine the top flat on a mill, the rest is untouched. Yours, on the other hand, is an absolute work of art, and the beauty of the finished product hides the incredible amount of work that it took to get it to that point! Kudos Gavin on an exceptionally well done job! I bet you’ll get a Christmas card from the people that make your cutting and grinding discs! I also hope you wore a dust mask of some type! Keep em coming Sir! Cheers!

Hi Tom, what an awesome comment, thank you very much I am very happy that you liked it, I value your input to my videos. I have and do wear a mask when I feel it is needed, but as I am generally working outside, and normally have a breeze blowing across my workbench I quite often can use that and work on the fresh air side of the job, you can often see that breeze flapping the tag on one of my power leads behind the bench. Thanks Tom, cheers mate.

I greatly admire your patience and precision. I made one of these by flipping the rail 180° and welding on feet. The rail bottom (now top of the anvil) is already flat and has more surface area. It's also easier to drill in a pritchel and hardy holes. Your anvil looks much better than mine and has a useful horn.

Absolutely beautiful job on this. The amount of work that goes into doing this is incredible. I will say from experience as someone who forges on a rail anvil that this type of setup isn’t ideal. Standing the rail on end is the best approach as it gives you more mass, less bounce, and a lot less ring. It’s less work surface and ugly but far more functional. Rails have a flexibility for the trains and doing anvils in this way just has too much ring and bounce. Looks amazing though!

Is the iron in a rail hard enough to make a decent anvil? I know nothing about forging by the way.
@tonystanley8186
@tonystanley8186 Год назад
@@boxhawk5070 It is. As I said above, stand the rail on end and it makes a really good anvil. I've been using mine for over a year with regular use and my friend who got me into it has been using his for a few years. Once to test I hit it as hard as I could with a 2lb hammer and barely left a mark.
@thora8624

Umm, the density of the steel remains the same no matter what direction the rail is oriented, so no that's not exactly true...

@@thora8624 Density may have been the wrong word. There's more mass under it on end and that mass translates into it being easier to work the steel when forging because it has less bounce.
