In this video I'll show how I silenced my anvil. After restoring my anvil and making a base for it, I realized how loud it was when working with it. My goal is to dampen that noise. There are many other ways to muffle it that I'm not going to be exploring in this video, such as fabricating a heavier stand, adding heavy chains... However, those do not fit in with my desire for quick, easy, and affordable solutions - preferably with the materials I already have around my workshop.
The results shown in the video come from tests performed without precision equipment and affected by subjective assessments (mine). The purpose of said tests was to measure the relative effectiveness of several simple steps one can take to silence their anvil.
I hope you like this video. Leave a comment with your thoughts, I'll be glad to answer you.

Trace the outline of the base of the anvil on the stand, and then lay down a thick bead of silicone caulk around the inside of that outline. $5 tube from Home Depot works fine. Let the caulk set up for bit, then place the anvil back on to minimize creep, or you could just drive a few nails in the corners to prevent creep. Let the silicone set up and cure. Pair that with magnets on the horn and heel and you'll have the quietest anvil on the block.

Thanks for the silicone caulk tip. I may give it a try. Regards!

Fun to watch. Small thin strips of 80 mil butyl automotive sound deadening blankets would probably work stuck to the bottom of the horns. Something like Dynamat or Kilmat. If the aluminum foil face was sprayed out black, it would be less noticeable than a magnet.

@WoodworkingBarcelona 4 года назад

Thanks for your recommendations, it will sure help other people. In my case, I wanted to use existing materials on my workshop. And Ive checked this butyl sheets and I they are way to expensive compared with other dampening sound solutions. Regards!

To me it looked like you didn't put enough sand? But it is very impressive how effective the magnets were.

@WoodworkingBarcelona 4 года назад

Yes i did. I cut some of the footage but actually it took me lots of pressure to stuck all the way down the anvil spike into the base. After removing it for next tests you can see how the green sand has reached the top of the mortise. Indeed, magnets are amazing. Regards.

@intjonmiller 2 года назад

@@WoodworkingBarcelona The second test didn't have sand in the right position to actually test it, as it has already been pressed out to a larger mortise shape by the first test. But I don't see any reason to have ever thought it would work, so I don't blame you for not being more thorough.

@Khether0001 4 года назад

Would it make a difference if you tied down the anvil much, much more rigidly? (I mean obnoxiously rigid, the way that would make hardcore BDSM enthusiasts feel uneasy...) The thought process being imagining a very large chunk of solid metal sturdily dug deep into the ground would reverberate less than a loose piece of heavy metal hung precariously on a perch (like a bell) (or maybe not, I'm just speculating). But I did see other RU-vidrs tying very heavy chains around the base of their anvils for that purpose in addition to many strong magnets attached as you did.

@WoodworkingBarcelona 4 года назад

Hi Nelson, of course it would help but I could not have a heavier base o fixed to the ground because the dimensions of my actual workshop do not allow me to have a dedicated space for blacksmithing. So I need to move the anvil with it base often. Overall, those weights about 120kg. The chains were not an option for me because of my Anvil, which it has not a base legs. Regards.

@Redasurc 4 года назад

Fellow blacksmith here Try using a different mount but don’t cut out a huge hole for it let the anvil sink in with pressure and the wood should absorb most of the vibrations

@judweaver3635 9 месяцев назад

Silicone helps with the noise & will eliminate anvil movement thereby reducing lost energy while forging.

@fiatmoneyeater8568 Год назад

If you put a ball of plasticine on one of the ends, you have the quietest anvil in the world. Then you also need no more magnets or underlay mats ;) U only must reduce the vibration in ends of the Anvil. There comes the resonance noising of the anvil 😁

@fuevarde 4 года назад

Y sabe por qué los imanes reducen tan drásticamente el sonido, reducen el movimiento/vibración de las moléculas?... 🤔🤔🤔

@WoodworkingBarcelona 4 года назад

No he leído demasiado sobre la teoría científica al respecto. Es evidente que el magnetismo tiene un gran utilidad para reducir las vibraciones. Un saludo!

los imanes rompen la resonancia. antiguamente los herreros ponian cadenas (dos o tres vueltas) alrededor del yunque y dejaban los extremos colgando. un saludo..!!

@WoodworkingBarcelona 4 года назад

En mi caso, la opción de las cadenas no es posible debido a que no tiene base con patas sino una estaca. En cualquier caso compré un iman de mejor calidad (130kg de tracción) y todavía mejora el test que hice con el iman para soldar. Un saludo,

@@WoodworkingBarcelona no sé si me expliqué bien.. todos los herreros solían tenerlo como tú en un "tarugo" de madera y tenían las cadenas me refiero a esto: image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/rusty-old-iron-anvil-chain-260nw-1386235823.jpg Un saludo.

@@SergioSx3 Te explicaste perfectamente Sergio ;). Conozco bien el sistema (que barato no es si tienes en cuenta los quilos de hierro) pero para mi yunque no vale. Como ves, en el de la foto que linkeas tiene un cuello y luego termina en ensanchándose para terminar con una base con patas. Ese cuello es el sitio ideal para enrollar una cadena. En mi caso, quedaría muy justo dado que el propio cuerpo del yunque esta mucho más cerca de la base. Un saludo!

@judweaver3635 9 месяцев назад

Same as adding chain, but with more surface area contacting the anvil. They deaden the ringing (vibration) just like if you touch a ringing bell.

@elduderino1329 4 года назад

1. The ringing of an anvil is music to my ears. 2. If you forge something you hit the hot steel not the anvil so the anvil wouldn't ring like this unless you miss.

@1312_PV 4 года назад

I also like the ringing, but loud noises are damaging and if he already has ear damage or noise activated tinnitus this is necessary.

@WoodworkingBarcelona 4 года назад

I get your point but when you work hot steel I bet you i hit the piece the hell harder than the test. So I can assure you that after 30 min ringing on your ears you are going to star ear mufflers or start thinking in silence your anvil. Besides, a loud anvil it's a sign that youre loosing a lots of kinetic energy so you're less effective and you're getting tired quicker. Regards.

@1312_PV 4 года назад

@@WoodworkingBarcelona That ringing in your ear is a warning of ear damage and our bodies NEVER get accustomed to it, this is proven. If you ever stop hearing it when doing the same job is because you lost hearing forever. Congratulations on protecting your hearing to preven this.
