@@TohGahr yes but drop a hammer on that rail road piece and drop a hammer on on a real anvil and see the difference in the bounce and the difference in the sound along the anvil it's very good but still not an anvil
This video is a testament to the power of the simple angle grinder. If you wanna get into knife making, it's one of if not the best tool you can have. Grinding belts are expensive and homemade ones joined with flex tape work but aren't ideal. A lot safer though. I'm fortunate to have a lot of access to oxy and a cutting torch so I don't have to spend hours hogging out material, but I really appreciate the initiative. Railroad track is usually made of low carbon and (relatively) high manganese content for easy continuous casting and hot rolling. The surface of used track is usually work hardened because of the manganese, but you seem to have ground off the hardened case. I can't tell exactly what you're working with but it wouldn't hurt to forge weld a piece of leaf spring steel to the work surface. In this case, forge welding is easier than stick welding. Forge them together and let them anneal in the forge overnight. Heat them back to austenizing temp and quench in oil then temper to light blue. A blue spring temper is really all you need.
@@bionicallychallenged7290 by all means. I'm right here. I live in India where it's next to impossible to get an anvil that isn't entirely cast iron. But I've come to the conclusion that any 1020 steel that can reach 42 hrc after tempering is quite serviceable. Fussing about railroad tracks may be counterproductive. Moreover, in the distant past, people didn't have monolithic anvils. They had various work stations.
Beautiful work mate, to nice to use! I bet your neighbours just loved the sound of that angle grinder, not to mention the cost of discs! Great job just the same.
I like that you polished the striking surfaces, and painted the support. Looks really good, and that's a perfect size for the average person working in their garage. Very useful item you made.
Appreciate you showing how you did this using one basic angle grinder (WITH the guard on the whole time), and some files. It may have taken a while but most railroad track anvil videos you find feature massive angle grinders, milling machines, and fancy metal bandsaws. Since I possess none of these items, I had resigned myself to my piece of railroad track just remaining in its railroad track-form and forging on that, but you have inspired me to take a stab at reshaping it into a better anvil!
sometimes, it’s ok to invest in better tools like plasma cutters and/or industrial bandsaws. LOL! halfway through and seeing you use the hacksaw, I literal yelled “BRUH…” And that’s followed by “…I USE ONLY SIMPLE TOOLS!!!!!!!” text across the screen, and I fell out of my seat laughing. This was an exercise in determination; but regardless, the anvil came out beautifully.
Amazing tools that can cut and shape such a heavy and thick iron track. But the biggest applause goes to the person doing this job so perfectly!! He is a superb craftsman!! Hats off to his skill !!
You should market this as an award for railroad companies to buy. This craftsmanship is amazing! You REALLY do have something here. Take that idea and run with it!
Wow, what a work of art. I don't think I would even use that for blacksmithing. I would just display it in my shop. That is allot of skill you carry in your hands.
This is the best creative and forging perfect channel that i ever watch , with no dialogues , no special machine , only a guy with many full free time can do this
Wow! That's an absolutely beautiful Anvil! That's like a piece of Artwork in itself, in addition to being a really useful metalworking tool. Great video - Nicely Done!
That looked like it wasn't easy,as you stated in the beginning. However, that little anvil turned out beautiful. Most definitely a labor of love. Appreciate you posting this video. Excellent transformation! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Also more money in discs than cost new small anvil. 😂😂😂 It is really amazing and economically advantageous.🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I'm not even talking about that hard work.🙈
Gorgeous. Watching this made me miss my uncle and hanging out in his workshop as a little girl so much. Everything in me wanted to call and ask him to make me one.
That turned out beautiful, but that is a lot of work to create such a masterpiece.. thx for bringing us along... Take care my friend and God Bless you and your family...
Ihre Geduld ist beneidenswert. Sehr schön ist es geworden, in die Vitrine damit, nicht in die Werkstatt. Wieviel Trennscheiben haben Sie verbraucht? Gratuliere!
You made an old piece of railroad track into an Anvil piece of art. I wouldn't want to hammer anything on it. I'd rather display it. Nice craftsmanship.

Молодец.Уважаю.Я так старый топор оживил.
I didn’t forget
After all that hard worke and I must say we'll done but this is not an anvil its just something that looks like an anvil
@@mick1gallagher it is hardened steel, it will work mostly :P

This is some solid advice! I think I'm going to give that a try myself! I'd love to pick your brain!

I respect your effort mate.I restore only a rusty hammer and I know how hard it was to make it shine.Golden hands you have .Be blessed .
Approximately how many cutting wheels did you use for this project?
I'd say about 50 to 75 and using those cut off wheels for angle grinding is dangerous if it was to break
@@peterrivney552 angle grinder is most versatile and dangurus tool in the workshop.
@@peterrivney552
Is there a power tool that ISNT dangerous if it breaks ?
Maybe stick to something safer mate , .
Like knitting
Yes
all of them
Beautiful work mate, to nice to use!
I bet your neighbours just loved the sound of that angle grinder,
not to mention the cost of discs!

5:41 Aaaw a cute little mouse 🐭🐁🥰😍
I need that! I used to use a piece of train track in the past, it’s fairly useful but this looks to nice to use. Good job
This very amazing Anvil 🤩your hard work pays off this rusty railroad that you turn into an amazing Anvil 👍👍👍
Beautiful Craft 💟👍
Excellent and beautiful. 👍👍👍👍👍
One of the most amazing pieces of railroad track, a piece that does not rust at the ends.
A lot of hard work and obvious creativity. Beautiful end result. Bravo!

Phenomenal work, my man. Goes to show what the versatility of an angle grinder, and a lot of elbow grease can do. Thumb'd & subbed.
a work of art in itself, beautiful👌👍

Maravilhoso !
Não dá coragem de usar .
Serve como peça decorativa .
Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho .

I did this very thing last year and made an anvil. The hardest part of making it was drilling out the hole for the Hardy hole. It was a lot of fun!
That's absolutely incredible. You have something that you should always be proud of.
Magnificent .......really enjoyed watching that
Craftsmanship 👍👍
Awesome work and a beautiful outcome. What I want to know is, how many grinding discs did you end up going through😂
That's exactly what I thought. Hundreds! 🤣
Also more money in discs than cost new small anvil. 😂😂😂
It is really amazing and economically advantageous.🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I'm not even talking about that hard work.🙈
My thoughts exactly!!!
I thought about that and why polish the working surface only? Will be ruined from first use ^^
Przepiękne jest to z tory kolejowej kowadło zrobione pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍
Fantastic result well done
You sir, are a genius!🤙
Unbelievable!!!! The human determination is truly a remarkable thing!
Really nice job, more like a piece of art than an implement.
Utterly gorgeous ....thank you
Wow!! Really nice work👏
Gorgeous. Watching this made me miss my uncle and hanging out in his workshop as a little girl so much. Everything in me wanted to call and ask him to make me one.
Nice job. A big 👍
Stay well, Joe Z
