he brings knowledge to RU-vid, has a soothing voice, speaks deliberately, and he works with boy scouts... this guy is a saint

Can’t tell if a saint working with young boys is supposed to be a joke, but I laughed nonetheless

You have said my exact feelings about this channel.

Wish all videos were this clear and efficient. Respect

@mcbain752 7 лет назад

Before today, most of my knowledge of anvils came from Bugs Bunny cartoons.

@robertcornelius3514 7 лет назад

Actually, the Roadrunner and Wylie Coyote should be given most of the credit.

mcbain752 Actually, the Animaniacs should get the most credit

Just starting blacksmithing, found a Hay-Budden anvil about 40 miles away. I bought it, it is 127 lb. Just received “Anvils In America”, enjoying the info on Hay-Budden. Thanks spurring my interest in this craft.

@conorbannon5024 4 года назад

I have stared doing metalwork as a hobby and as a side hustle. I have watched your videos on anvils many times. I am continuously looking for an anvil and your videos are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you

@fullyrekt1538 5 лет назад

You are an absolute inspiration Sr.I fear that the younger generations are going to lose this knowledge and its a real shame. To be so diverse with everything you know is truly amazing. To be this diverse you must truly believe that you can always learn from any experience or any person,

@lukegustafson7900 3 года назад

You remind me of my father Steve Gustafson R.I.P. who was a well knowledge and respected blacksmith in northern California and his knowledge and passion for blacksmithing. Thank you for your content it's helping motivate me to get The Smokey Forge back up and running again..

@eg6199 7 лет назад

I am impressed over and over when watching your videos. I would like to visit that shop and just look around, it's a museum on what built this country. Well done, keep me coming.

@Apollocreed2076 3 года назад

I have no idea why suddenly needed to know about anvils but I had to. And I'm glad that I found a grown up to provide me with the information. Thanks.👍

@anthonybivens7454 7 лет назад

The education from this man!!! AAHHHHH!!! why can't everybody be this full of knowledge?

@andyhobbs123 7 лет назад

I was watching the video of you working on the storage shed for your son. You showed the concrete anchor you were going to use and you pointed out the end of the anchor had and "upset" on it. I knew you must have been a blacksmith right there. Great channel and videos!

@scaryballoonfish8989 7 лет назад

I am 14 and I use a railroad bracket for an anvil. It works great!

@jakeeasterday1663 7 лет назад

Essential Craftsman Just got my first anvil the other day! It's a Fisher 100lb. anvil for $325, and it's in near perfect condition. it had 3 coats of paint on it, but before that, it was actually well used by some smith somewhere. Big improvement over a 32lb. block of 1045 I had lying around. You advice has really helped me!

@glennwiebe5128 8 лет назад

My recently deceased father found a 128 lb Peter Wright for me three years ago. It came from an 89 year old blacksmith who was only then retiring! Because it was going to a blacksmith, me, Dad got it for a song and a good conversation (which provided the history of my PW). The only thing "wrong" with it was that the tip of the bick was a bit blunt. I easily fixed that. I radiused the edges to removed the minor dings and it's just fabulous. I am still looking for a big shop anvil since, after using a large 500+ lb (don't remember the maker), bigger is better.

@tannerthompson4704 8 лет назад

Fantastic explanation. I learned a lot. Thank you sir!

@bloodmogul 7 лет назад

I've just started blacksmithing about a year ago. I don't have an anvile yet. I have a block of steel that I use for now. I love your videos. definitely earned a subscription from me.

@Aztec03hbo 8 лет назад

Really enjoy your channel. Reminiscent of my old shop teacher, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. Your teaching is excellent, as well as your flow. Can't wait to see more.

@thomassterling2919 5 лет назад

Thank you for the history and brief on anvils in the US. You're lucky to have had a father who exposed you to the blacksmith craft. I see the skill coming back to the US. It's the most basic of industry in the world. You're filling a valuable need for the younger generation.

@thepaingainer 7 лет назад

I learned more in 7 minutes than during last 2 months on RU-vid. Thank You :)

@jamesprentice1565 7 лет назад

the pain i love your programs boys I am a Scots lad 74 and lost my ggrandfather's anvil ( Stolen ) one dark night

@mamtaagrawal5493 4 года назад

Yes correct. I searched the whole RU-vid for this topic but could not find any video as good as this. 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

@rjtumble 5 лет назад

I was just curious if I had seen all your videos so I went back and took a look. This one was good (I'd like to see that follow up on the flat anvil used for circular saws, did you ever make one?). While this was a good video, it's really great to see how much you two have progressed in your video making skills. You've come a long way in a couple years so well done to both of you.

@JkCanvas 6 лет назад

Did not know there was that much to anvils. Thank you sir for the information.

@dougbourdo2589 6 лет назад

We had a huge anvil in my dad's tractor shop when I was a kid. I killed many pieces of steel back then just fascinated by the visual movement shaping of the steels.... and that was before I learned how to use the oxy/'acetylene torches!!

@chrisduggins3071 7 лет назад

I would be very interested in a series of videos on the saw hammering anvil and the process of saw hammering.

@LordCheezit 8 лет назад

I'm not sure if you have a direction you're trying to take your channel but I think some videos on getting started with blacksmithing, even just as a hobby, would be amazing. You have an awesome voice for teaching and obviously a great deal of knowledge and I would personally love to.keep learning about blacksmithing or construction in general from your videos. Regardless keep up the good work. Your videos are fun to watch.

@joehunter57 8 лет назад

@samjones5553 6 лет назад

I've always used a thick metal plate bolted to a oak stump, never realised how useful an actual anvil would be

@jahooty49 7 лет назад

Wow! Lots of great info. Thanks.

@bugMASTER1337 8 лет назад

Hey, awesome videos. You should consider making some videos to get people like me with no experience in any of this started into whatever it is you want this channel to be about. I'll definitely be watching.

@anthonyhitchings1051 2 года назад

Well, I do not have an anvil, and don't need one, but having a big hunk of steel to pound things on (my decades old Costco vise) sure has been handy.

What is that song? It’s beautiful. Sounds like they’re talking about the titanic but it also sounds like it resonates well with modern life as well.

I’m suffering from anvil envy! 😍

@juanpartida7830 7 лет назад

thanks for answering my question I never thought about the flow of energy just like the sound waves going through water so by bouncing the metal ball you could tell how the anvil was made and the properties of the anvil whether if it's a single piece or several pieces welded together thanks for sharing your knowledge

@ChromaticApparatus 8 лет назад

Fantastic video! Fascinating stuff! Thank you for posting this!

@albertrasch4793 8 лет назад

Great job, and fantastic discussion! Well delivered, lively, and not dry. I have subscribed! If I may, allow me to suggest Alec Steele's RU-vid channel, as he has an enthusiastic and youthful delivery and excellent editing. Stylistically different, as he is quite young, but you may get a few ideas. Did not know about the 30 or 40 to 1 anvil to hammer weight ratio, good to know! Looking forward to future installments! AAR

@esauseven 4 года назад

As a kid I made rings out of pennies for girls on a railroad anvil. Always wanted to have one again. Now I actually have to search. Thanks.

@RICREYNOLDSMUSIC 7 лет назад

My great Great grandfather was a blacksmith in 1810 and I know nothing about it. He served in the Civil War and owned 4000 acres in Ky and Metropplois, Illinois. He married into the Henson family who owns the Henson family waterfront park in West Kentucky.

@davelivesay6711 6 лет назад

Good thing you've got that 448 lb. anvil bolted down. You wouldn't want to get carried away and knock it over.

@MrZOOBLAST 8 лет назад

I have become a fan of your page, I love Anvils but have found it very difficult to find a good one anywhere in Florida. that doesnt cost thousands of dollars. anyway keep up the channel i am enjoying learning.

@kglesq1 8 лет назад

Great video; you clearly know your stuff, and this was very informative and well paced. Thanks, and subscribed.

@snookerbob62 7 лет назад

I found your videos on you tube and fine them full of good information !! I had to watch the framing square several times ....wish teachers would teach like that!!! I'm newly retired and looking to get into blacksmithing as a hobby for now. I have purchased a small gas forge and anvil from the local farrier supply shop. I ended up with a 100 lb tfs farrier anvil..... "I think someone near Eugene has cornered every estate sale or craigslist anvil worth buying in the area" My question is if I'm right handed what side should the horn face?

@smallnutsroider 8 лет назад

This is amazing! Please make more, blacksmithing is so cool to watch.

@IfItHitsTheFan 7 лет назад

I got a very nice Columbian 110 lb anvil at an auction this past Saturday for $75. Near as I can tell it was made of cast steel. Good anvil at a good price?

@johanvanzanten8927 7 лет назад

I have an a nice anvil but I have no idea who makes it. Its a British pattern but the marking are pretty much gone. It is said that if an anvil doesn't ring its not very good. Mine has great rebound and I haven't noticed any cracks or anything on it. Is it possible to have a good anvil that doesn't ring?

@waveranger4974 7 лет назад

@juanpartida7830 7 лет назад

hi there I would like to ask you a question hopefully it won't bother you much I have seen videos of anvils being made by welding pieces together of metal and making exact replicas or models of anvils of any size now my question is do they hold themselves to the anvils made specially to be anvils by the companies that you mentioned that made quality anvils and if they do hold themselves as quality anvils do they have the same value or if you could even tell the difference between the ones being made by welding pieces together and the ones that were made by companies that specialized in making industrial anvils thanks for the video and knowledge great videos

@davidz2950 3 года назад

Scott, I have been given the opportunity to acquire a tremendous amount of blacksmithing tools and accessories. I am going to attach a photo of this set up. Anvil, forge, Ferrier tools. Unfortunately I do not have the room to set up a blacksmith shop. I am setting up a total woodworking shop instead totally motivated by your channel my father and my grandfather both deceased. I would like to get these tools into the right hands, of someone who would used them and really appreciate them. Do you have anybody that would be interested. Thanks Dave

@essentialcraftsman 3 года назад

I think that I DO! Please email me at the address that you will find on my website. I would love to visit with you about this.

@davidz2950 3 года назад

Thanks Scott I will do that

@davidz2950 3 года назад

Sorry Scott, I went on your website and hit the email button and nothing happened. Is there anyway you could give me your email address so I can email you some of this information. Thank you very much.
