Leave them in as they are received from the foundry, offer the finishing as an add-on and for everyone else toss in a tutorial page on how to finish it off. This allows the price to stay lower, and still be finished in an Alec Steele manner this also allows people to finish it to their liking.

The confidence to swing a 26-lb hammer with full strength on such a small target is probably close to if not the most impressive skill being a career blacksmith probably doesn't think much about anymore, but I've never gotten two solid strikes back to back on a splitting wedge about that size, yet I can fairly consistently get 2 in a row where the glancing blow wrenches the hammer sideways and nearly sprains my wrists from twisting.

Absolutely this. In fact, I think the first Alec Steele video I watched was just a simple tutorial on doing a taper on a small piece of square stock. In two heats or so he had an absolutely perfect beautiful taper. Being an absolute novice, that was a real eye-opener as to what you can do with truly great hammer control. When every strike is exactly where and exactly how hard you want it to be, it makes forging look quick and effortless. I'd have taken 10 minutes to do what he did in less than 1. I was so impressed I had to go and watch all his videos :)

@jessecarpenter6434 4 года назад

Very cool finding a good legitimate black smith anvil is nearly impossible. 35 years ago when I needed a good anvil all I could find was old antique cast iron junk or real anvils that had been worked /abused to death. I got in touch with a foundry that was willing to cast a anvil for me - if I provided a wooden positive mold, so with their guidance on how to taper the mold I gave them a mold. They cast a anvil for me out of Chrome molly tool steel and aneled it for me it was 178lb. Milling off the top and bottom tapers was quite difficult, only carbide cutters would touch it. After milling and shaping it we put it in a forge heated it and tempered it. Having a good anvil is essential for many tasks. You are doing a very good thing providing these quality anvils, they do need to be sold with the tops and bottoms milled though as that process is not easy to do.

ALEC I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR SHOW FOR EEEEEEVER! I have always wanted to start forging but I've always found it hard to be able to get started on something like this. But by you providing all the tools... There is NO excuse. I'm excited and I will be purchasing your anvil. My only suggestion is that you please try to keep your anvil as affordable as possible. Thanks! Excited to kick off forging some time soon!

I think it would be great to offer it up in an "as cast" (how it was before you ground it) offering as well as with your prep. It really looks great and apparently can take a beating. Look forward to seeing more of it in use and come to market.

josh for weight pounds are good enough for anything non-precise, you can more or less just half it to get the Kg weight (I know that’s not accurate but good enough). For anything precise, metric makes more sense and distances are much easier in metric

This is a wonderful development! I'm finally getting close to having a space to work my hobbies in, and I'll be looking for an anvil once that's done. So you definitely have a sale here - having watched you over the last few years I know that if you're happy with something like this, then everyone else will likely be as well (myself included). Biggest thing I see is you not making enough - keep abreast of the comments here and make sure the foundry is willing to produce as many as you can sell, maybe plus a few so you can have a small stock of them for latecomers. ;)

I cried when he rounded those edges. So many years working on old anvils with not a clean edge available... it was like he was grinding on my heart.

@Pado01 4 года назад

But he only rounded off a portion of the surface?

@leaunoir 4 года назад

@@Pado01 yess but..... the basic idea lied Behind two different philosophies of forging. You can always make it round later or you can always Make it square. Not that either are wrong.... But .... You can always round it later

@leaunoir 4 года назад

For more clarification the hammer is also doing work. Round die vs flat die can determine the shape you got through vs the shape you want to end with.

@Pado01 4 года назад

@@leaunoir I'm no expert, so feel free to correct me, but I would also imagine that the more sharp an edge is; the more prone it would be to chipping? But I guess it wouldn't matter as much since you would be forging soft on hard... But like a few have said, it might be a good idea to sell it as a virgin anvil, and an additional add-on service to have it surfaced.

@willthedingo 4 года назад

I'm no expert either but from a logical point of view, the rounded portion of the anvil edge has multiple uses; more consistent pressure on the metal with each hit, less banana bending of the metal because only the hammer is rounded, less straight line hammer markings on the metal because of the sharp edge, and more of a "squeeze" movement of the metal instead of it bending over the sharp edge.

Actually, it's very good to teach you patience. Some times you are working with some steel and it's not moving as quickly as you want or exactly how you'd like - take a quick water break because you need it anyway and all of a sudden everything's going swell. Happened to me this afternoon drawing out a blade and it's hidden tang. With a hunk of rail and a charcoal forge in a lasagna tin. At least the hammer's not terrible.
