Making a 100kg Steel Anvil - The Drag and Cores using K-CAST Sand 

I like the part when he doesn’t make a 100kg steel Anvil.

It's nice to see that people care about the quality of their product and the quality of their workmanship. Cheers from New York.

Thumbs up for Australian Made!

Nice work fellas.Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Awesome Mr president...

I'm lost for words , How good is this watching you making anvils in Australia .

I like your proud Australian maker's mark. Any black smith would be glad to show off your fine anvil.

Wow this is amazing

"Australian made is good" pride + skill + hard work.

I want one ,love Aussie made

I came here from watching the gentlest horse be re-hooved with a new shoe and found myself intrigued by the anvil. Wow! Top work!! 💯

The anvil turned out really nice, great job.

Saw someone else mention the editing and I appreciate the honesty and acceptance of criticism, I hope whoever edits these the best of luck, as I know editing SUCKS. Looks like it's gonna be a gorgeous anvil though!

I thinking this is probably the first time I’ve seen someone say “take you time, make sure you don’t take too much off” and then ACTUALLY take time, check the fit a bunch. Good on you guys.

australian made is good and there needs to be more of it

Great video. Subscribed. Please in the next video also film the heat treating part. I have never seen that anywhere and would very much like to. Thanks for the vid. Have a good day.

Sweet work. No bull.

Here i was about to sell my Peter Wright & buy one from that pommy in America (Alec Steele lol). Ill def be buying one of these 100% Please post up more vids of your casting & pattern/mould making,awesome stuff.

It's good to hear from people that love what they do and even better when they can work with family which has its own set of challenges. You don't hear too much these days about preserving trades and skills being lost to large industrial companies. When my son finished high school he told me he wasn't going on to college but rather a trade school. He said he wanted to work with his hands as a welder. Just like my father and grandfather told me....take pride in whatever you do there's nothing wrong working with your hands if you're doing what you love.

Great job well done!!!

Looks bloody good to me

Wow !

I didn't want this video to stop. Great work fellas.

Way to go!

Haha Mike nolan the man himself love it

I mold aluminum casting it’s cool seeing other sand casting being done

Amazing work men keep up the good work

That mold looks like you made it out of concrete. Amazing work.

Now this is what I like high quality hand made items you can see the pride and craftsmanship being used in each casting thanks for sharing I’m a new subscriber all the best

Great job

Wow I didn’t know we made them in Australia any more.

Thanks again that was awesome to see keep up the good work we love you we love to see the final product part 2

Are you guys going to make another video with the pour and the final product?

Thank you so much for this Video! You guys are rockstars!!!! I tried to find information about anvil casting and you are the first to post a proper video about it done by a real foundry🤩 love it, cant wait for the following videos

Good stuff!! Makes me want to buy one

When he’s painting the inside I wanted to say “Don’t forget to get Down Under there”

Very cool, thank you for sharing this process!

Love the videos...very satisfying for my creative side!

Crikey!

Now I understand what sand casting, Honda used to make their motorcycle engines this way.

subbed. Excellent first video! Let's see more! Now I want one of your anvils but I imagine the shipping would be insane.

“Dave, knock it off with the bloody angle grinder, I’m makin’ a bloody video!”

He isn't lying Australian made is Good but American Made is The Best! 🇺🇸

رووووووووعة لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله و الله رائع اللهم صل و سلم على نبينا وحبيبنا وشفيعنا وقائدنا وقدوتنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم تسليما كثيرا وسبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم.💘🍃💝🌾💚🌺❤🌻💙🏵💞🌱🧡🍀💓💐🌼🌷💙🌿💕

Nothing to see here people, just a man living his childhood dream of playing in a sandbox and making stuff. 😁

Trabalho bem feito!!!!!!

Just found your channel and I'll admit, I'm hooked! Keep it up mate! --Watching from the United States of America.--

My goodness, this is great video on so many levels. It highlights great craftsmanship, it is very educational and informative, and very entertaining too. I can't wait for Part 2. Off topic, I love studying, listening and comparing accents and I've noticed the Australian accent is very similar to that East Texas, especially the way some words are pronounced: People sounds like pay-ple Same sounds like sime Paint sounds like pint.

You guys should make the worlds biggest anvil and take over the RU-vid algorithm. I’m talking an anvil big enough for multiple people to stand on.

Blue Zircon mold wash. Greatest natural refractory ever. Tubelecane was the first foundryman he was a blacksmith that started molding shapes and casting not sure who the first guy to figure out there is metal in those rocks lets heat it up and melt it out. Boggles my mind on that one.

Subbed.

Fooking great vid!!!! considering no anvil got made; to many beers rnd the barbie I suppose

It's not called paint interviewer it's call wash and its made of zircon flower, the most heat resistant of the sand scale and very expensive so its cheaper to build the mold with silica sand. Some cases other sand is used in certain areas like Cera-bead, Chromite, Zircon all for different needs like chromite is used in areas that need a chill effect that is when you need to control the solidification in places you can't put an actual chill block (block of steel) zircon is used for areas where a lot of burn in happens and you need more protection anyway the wash is made out of zircon in most cases but there is other wash like when you do iron and manganese Steels and stainless is up in the 2700-2900 degrees pouring temps and need to be super heated sometimes up to 3000-3100 Ductile iron is much lower 2100-2400 so you don't need to worry so much about burn in the use of zircon not even fresh silica just recycled silica an its grey wash is all thats needed

Would have been nice if you had advised the this would be multiple parts.

I would like to know how you recycle the sand from the mold.

Hi ! What the sand's made of please ? Silicate sand + Water ? Or + Oil ? Thanks you very much~~

I am curious about how they melt the steel and how it does not remove most of the carbon

Noice........

I worked in one of the best foundry's in the world making some VERY EXPENSIVE PARTS I wanna tell you something about the wash you are using we used to hand paint it on like you do in this video but the best way is to Flo coat if you don't know what that is its pouring on the wash and letting it flo off you want the wash to be a 65-70 buam'e this will give you a better cast surface with less porosity and burn

I love to have that

I am curious as to how you can get a welded steel face on an anvil. My old Blacksmithing instructor said that the welded face anvils were the best

This is awesome, can you freight these to New Zealand?

👍

That’s basically the basics on basically casting a basic anvil.

👍😊

Only in Oz do foundry workers wear shorts

Kesuen

Awesome first video, very well done, they will only get better and quicker from here :-) I don't know why it took so long to find this channel :-) THANKS

Hello from Siberia! Can you please write what is your mold made of? I understand that it is some kind of sand with resin. We use mixture of sand and clay here when casting iron. We get iron from ore, reconstructing the methods of our ancestors.

How do you ensure the face and base/feet are parallel, it doesn’t look like the machinists milled the base? Do you temper it back slightly? What average HRC is the face and horn? I’m in South Africa, was wondering what your price is?

That was a great set of videos, quality product .about how many hours does it take to make one of those ?and what is the price?

Was that burns on the guys arms that was applying the paint to the mold?

When did you make the anvil? I must have missed that part.

We tend to call those things filters but they're really not a FILTER! they will sit in the base of a pour cup called a Kalpur they regulate the flow of the metal

Did your machine shop make the top and the bottom square and parallel to each other? No website? How much does this cost! What are the two cylindrical nubs on each side?

Ommala

it is difficult to cast iron in a melted state with a heavy load. because it will damage the mold.

Awesome stuff, do you do a swage block?

wonder how much it would cost total to buy and ship one to the usa...

Where does one in the US get that paint? What is it called exactly?

I'd recommend adding a (Part 1) to the title to avoid confusion Other than that, great video

How long would it take to make one out of brass

Is this the guy bigstackd dump his scrap steel to?

Killer Video! What resins do you use in your sand? How fo you reclaim your sand?

And is there a part 2? Where we get to see the finished product?

What kind of paint that used? it burned easily

Did he get some molten metal on his left forearm?

I wont to have one of those anvils 100 kg haw to get one of them do sell them haw to contact with you sr

Call me pathetic. But if i needed a 96Kg anvil I would absolutely want one with the Australian continent on its side. Looks Frickin awesome. ;) Rule Australia!

Is a certain coyote your customer?

What paint are you using?

what type of steel you've used ?

What kind of pain do you use?? 💥💥Awesome Video 💥💥🤙🤙

What is that on his forearms, warts?

А где, собственно изготовление наковальни??? Ролик называется Making a 100kg Steel Anvil - The Drag and Cores using K-CAST Sand
