  • Having your most used tools readily available at the anvil can really increase your efficiency while forging. So today I will look at making a simple fabricated tool rack for the anvil block.

    Great build. I love making little organizers out of all the off-cuts I end up with. Plus, if you have more holders than tools, it's a good excuse to make more tools!

    Great video today John. Exactly what I did to see as I am setting up my Blacksmithing shop. Seeing where to put my tools and tooling. Thanks so much for the awesome and very helpful video. Turned out very well there John. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Can't wait to see more videos. Always great learning from your videos and other great guys here on UA-cam. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend John. Forge on. Keep Designing. Fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God bless

  • @erikisberg3886

    I pretty much copied Your design for my Kohlswa european style anvil. It used to ring badly especially on the horns but now it just says "tock". Made the block of wood held together with caulk and 12mm threaded rods and hot drove a fabricated square iron band on to the top. Welded the bolt nuts and the tool holders directly to that.Put a layer of black marine polyurethane caulk under the anvil. Polyurethane is known to dampen vibrations very well and I think it is somewhat better than silicone's for this. I almost never feel the need to walk around the anvil to the other side, so keeping some often used hammers and tools there is great for me. Thanks again for the inspiration to do this which should have been done long ago...

    I do the same with my lathe tools. I prefer leather strap around my anvil base. It takes the hardy or pritchel tang smoothly and without projecting out too far. Im still a proponent of non prefab....nice rack!

    Im guessing the other side will have a rack too within six months. Maybe one that pivots like the shelf, maybe stationary. Good idea anyway. John's idea not mine.

    May or may not see this but I've been watching some of your vids on candlesticks. Have a question about twists, I"ve seen a lot of people twisting square tube, solid stock square and round. What I have not seen is anyone twist round pipe, does nobody do that or is it just a bad idea to twist round hollow pipe?

      @BlackBearForge  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes they are good tongs,particularly as a starter set. Mild steel is ideal for most tongs. Tool steel for tools that need to hold an edge or are used for striking.
