Good video. I think???? Not real sure but you wrap the chain around the anvil as you’ve done but anchor the ends of the chain directly to the stump that’ll help a lot

Fascinating video!

Farriers anvils are generally a bit more ringy than other anvils with a heavier waist. I have 3 anvil shaped anvils a 175 london pattern that barely rings now its mounted and has a magnet on it, a double horn anvil at about 225lb that rings like a churchbell even with magnets because its narrow waisted and has long horns and a 525lb london pattern anvil that doesnt ring much even when its free standing because the waist is so massive, I can make it ring by using the end of the horn but magnets sort that out mostly. Two or more strong magnets is the way to go because the magnetic fields cross over and interfere with each other, nullifying vibration, you can usually stick a lot of magnets to any anvil almost anywhere you want (hardy and pritchel holes taken into account) and they will if strong enough make a lot of difference. I use a chain too because I like a dull thud when I work, those ringing hits set off my ears (Tinnitis is no joke)

Silicone 100% helps the ring. I find it helps if you set the anvil down while it's wet, but don't tighten it till it fully cures (2 days)

Another solid video man😎, moving the magnet def helps, In my adventures for mounting I've found the best luck with chain both for noise & stability but have def seen a bar style mount like this many times and almost did same. Keep up the good work, Happy Hammering

Thank you for your efforts. I was so happy to see this video come out. I'm also working on mounting my first anvil and thinking of solid but portable stand. I wonder if a gasket material or a thin rubber or leather pad under the anvil may help? I don't think it would significantly affect the rebound or properties. I've also always wondered about protruding rubber dampers on parts of the anvil, similar to the dampers on a compound bow. Again, I'm still setting up so haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the great content!

Well.. I think I know what I’m building today! Hahaha thanks man it looks great :)

What cross peen er do you have?

concerning mental gymnastics diagonal pein hammers get me all twisted up, I know they work but for some reason I can't just look at one and see how it works. What really cooks my noodle is that they still work left or right handed but the opposite way round lol Nice hot cut. Thanks for sharing

Just like tongs, the material beside/below the joint should transition cleanly and thickly. Here you’ve created a thin cross section below the joint resulting in a weak / bending point.

Your not Derek, that guy over there is Derrick.

I'm a very novice smith and maybe I'm looking at this too simplicticly. It seems like your making a set of tongs with out the grabbing end and with a tighter fit.

I like dividers, you can make them super ornate or plain and simple but as long as you get the legs equal lengths and the points come together with a reasonably stiff rivet youre good to go. Theyre also a a good build up to making tongs, A lot of people dive straight into making tongs when these would be a better option. Its daft that you do really need a pair of tongs to make the calipers thanks for sharing

Awesome. I'm gonna have to make myself a pair

Nice job

You continue to show your ability to forge items. Very interesting. Good job!!

Should have used the trailer hitch ball 2-in diameter

nice little chisel, you show the worth of a 1x30 machine too which is a nice plus. A bit of advice from experience, if you make the fit to the handle tight but don't wedge it, you will protect your hands from miss hits. leaving the chisel with a simple compression fit allows a little wiggle room so that if your hit is even slightly off center you dont rattle the heck out of your fingers, its not laziness on the part of the old timers its literally trying to save your fingers and wrists from some really jarring shocks. When you see guys like alec steele knock the handle on the anvil to seat the chisel again thats by design ....it also helps not break handles as often Hope that helps Thanks for sharing

If you're going to making many wood handles, look in to getting a Shinto Rasp, you'll thank me later.

I think this is one of my favorite forging videos. Rarely do projects go as planned, and knowing how to correct mistakes is the sign of a true craftsman.

Good setup for the weld

Harbor freight is the best place to buy tools you are going to turn into better tools! Nice job

Putting two wrenches on a piece to twist it takes a whole lot longer than having a wrench with two handles too. Heat is your friend especially in twisting and losing it like that is a real pain in the butt Ive just bought some old wrenches to do this with...theyre carbon steel though, no chrome added so they should weld more easily Useful stuff Thanks for sharing

Dope AF results, @rockingeforge!

Purchased the book "The Home Blacksmith" by Ryan Ridgeway. Any thoughts on that particular book?

I appreciate you man this is I'm just starting out and this is some technique that will help me a lot I did subscribe and I like and I'd love to see more thank you so much

Great stuff. I appreciate you technical details in your descriptions. Very clean speaking. I appreciate the preliminary discussion of the material properties with martensite for annealing. I think this is the first time of heard it discussed in relation to annealing. I'm a beginner and I've never heard any details about sneaking other than hear it up and slowly cool. I wasn't aware the target was to just surpass the critical temperature. Thanks for the great content

your tongs are a perfect fit for that bar.

You can avoid some of the "fish lipping" by strarting out with a blunt taper before drawing out the longer taper.

thanks for the video - your discussion of tempering was helpful. minor bug: during the forging discussion you repeatedly referred to hexagonal when you probably meant octagonal

IMO the best thing you can do for your channel is to properly silence that anvil. It sounds horrible. A strong magnet under the heel and horn, and then put some 100% silicone between the anvil the whatever it is mounted on. Headphone users will skip your videos immediately until the anvil is quieted.

Your tempering process is called " differential tempering ". This is because as you move back towards the struck end the temper gets softer and softer or differs from the temper ahead of it.

First time viewer great presentation hope to see more happy new year

What size is the 4140 round stock? 1/2 or 3/4 inch?

Wow I just found this channel, what a great video, concise instructions with good audio and video quality. Excited to start working through your other videos as someone still early into learning smithing. Underrated channel keep up the good work.

What about the 4 pack?

Too bad this is not on sale,would of have one.

Amazing work and video. You should have 500k subs. Insane bro

Another great video 👏👏

Love that you sayed it took you 3 days. When i see some on youtube hitting it a few times and finnishing it in no time it makes u feel like a real noob. Made a few myself took about the same time

I needed some ideas like this for messing around the shop after the holiday rush. Gotta keep it fresh to make it fun. 🇺🇸 I dig what you doing homie

Hi! Very well done! The items you made look very well done! Your explanations are really, really well done! You have a great skill there! Thank you for filming and showing us how things are done! All the best to you!

another fun one to forge is little mice! they take a little longer though

It's never a finished project until it hits the ground at least once.

Nice. I'll start setting aside some small projects like these to have ready gifts for coworkers and acquaintances. Subbed and liked.

Am glad I found your channel, as I am always searching for new blacksmith projects.

nice job,,beautiful video..salute from greece

Ah yes, a fellow procrastinator. Thanks for the ideas! As I am getting older I figured I should be a gift giver rather than reciever at the family christmas party. Hell those little twisted pendants look badass, why havent I made one for myself lol

good suggestion 👍👍👍

That's the best hammer, where can I get one
