Small Anvil Restoration And Tall Stand Fabrication
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2024
- Watch me restore and fabricate a stand for this 15kg italian "pig" style anvil.
I found this cool anvil at a local flea market a couple months back, had to have it because it's the exact same shape as my big 85kg anvil that I use for forging.
This small one will not be used for forging, I mounted it so high to be comfortable when working on small and precise stuff, like centerpunching, riveting bolsters, texturing softer metals and so on. Maybe I'll use the horn when making jewels or forging small parts but that's not the primary use.
Of course this is not the right height for an anvil you want to forge with. It's something I wanted for convenience, so I don't have to bend all the way over my big anvil to accomplish the task mentioned above.
The stand works just like this other one I made for the leg vise I restored a while back:
• DIY Tool Stand! Cheap ...
So far it has been working great.
Index of operation and materials:
0:15 Removing loose particles with steel wire brush
0:35 De greasing with acetone so I won't have bits and pieces of old grease flying everywhere while using the angle grinder
1:13 Angle grinder! Starting off with a steel whire wheel to clean off rust from all sides except top
2:03 Thick grinding disk to remove deep scratches and pittings
2:38 Sandpaper pads from 40 to 200 grit
3:01 Palm sander from 180 to 400 grit to finish the steel nicely
3:30 Cutting the "I" beam for the stand with metal cutting band saw.
4:10 Stick welding the beam to a second hand car wheel with rebar bracers (all steel from the local steel scrapyard 10€)
5:12 blocking the holes of the car wheel with duct tape so it holds concrete
5:43 Puring wet concrete mix into wheel, it does not serve structural needs so it can be mixed wet to make for an easy pour
6:10 Marking steel pieces for the locking mechanism
6:33 Drilling necessary holes, integrating the ones already present in the beam plate as part of the locking mechanism
6:57 Painting steel parts blue (cleaned and degreased off camera)
7:25 Finishing the anvil with rust converter, the steel is so pitted it would have rusted back too easily without finish, I also like the black look of this converter after some oil is applied
8:45 The locking mechanism was not working as intended, had to drill holes for a flat head M6 screw to hold the two steel parts together
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

Are you Italian? Just asking
Have you just trimmed your beard?
I heard that you were doing a collaboration with Baltimore knife and sword. Is that true?

Not only is this a cool restoration video, it's relaxing to watch. It's like white noise for the eyeballs. Great job.
Nice job restoring a cool little anvil. Looks like it will be nice and easy to move around the shop so you can keep it out of the way when you don't need it!
Great Restoration / Build! That is a cool little anvil, and will be very useful!!
Hi BB, super job on your anvil and i like the quiet video, no crap music, just the sound of your tools working. And a new tool for the shop. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
On of my favorite shapes for an anvil
I'm impressed with how quiet you got that stand and anvil. I was expecting more noise than that. Excellent work, sir!
beautiful work! This anvil is a museum piece!
It WAS an interesting historic item until several mm of material were removed from it to make it reusable. Which is absolutely fine btw but its no longer historically interesting
i dont understand people what give dislike. wtf? the job is perfect.
The internet abounds with trolls who do nothing but thumbs down peoples work. Some are even paid to do this sort of shit! You hear uploaders who get thumbs downs within a minute or seconds of their stuff getting uploaded and no way was it possible for the viewer to have seen it in full.
That's a really ingenious use of an old wheel to make the base of the stand! Excellent!
Dude, your channel plus TysyTube are so great! Thanks for your videos
There wasn't a whole lot to rehab on that little beauty :-) enjoyed the video thanks for posting!
Beauty salon for an anvil - very nice work! Thanks for showing.
Greetings Tino
I don't even know why I am watching this. I just can't stop.
It’s always a pleasure to watch you work, job well done! 👍👍👍
What a cute little piggy! Nice polish and quiet too!
What a great addition to your shop. 👊👊👊
Restored with the love and care it deserves! I consider this a precious piece of "workshop jewelry".
Thank you for sharing!
God Bless!
Bom trabalho amigo 👍
Idk why but this is so satisfying to watch
Excellent work!!! ✌🏻⛰🦅
Wow that’s beautiful! And clean and comfortable and moveable... 😏 I’m keeping an eye out for a little old rusty one 😉
It was a joy to watch. Thank you.
Awesome work as always bud👍 a little tip with stick welding it works much better if you clean the surface first, remove all paint and rust. your welds will be strong.
Beautiful restoration
Very cool restoration!
Fantastic without music, really! Please continue in this way meeen! You re the best for me in these types of channel
That is super nice glad it cleaned up so well!
Ottimo tutorial, prezioso soprattutto l'elenco temporizzato delle operazioni e degli strumenti usati! Così si fa, complimenti.
Great idea for a stand! I may try one like that for my bench grinder.
Thanks lad, I have a little anvil for precission works to work on, so I'll borrow some of your tips. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Great job restoring the anvil and making the stand for it also
Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also
Beautiful restore 👍👏
Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👏👏👏
I love love love your restoration vids!
Mr.G that was a very informative and as always entertaining episode,you never fail to show a new or different skill as well as making what you teach fun to watch all the best to you and yours my friend 😊👍
Really liked that especially the stand makes it more accessible yet another great job m8
Nice Work!
Excellent! Good work. I enjoyed this.
Master in restauration♥️👏
Very nice video!
Excelente trabajo con el yunque y la plataforma. Saludos.
I like the fact you used rust converter instead of colored enamel. I'd say you improved its functionality and appearance.
Looks awesome 🤙
Спасибо,очень понравилась идея.
Very Cool an i love the stand you made for it
Great job 👍 👍 👍
Nice work 👍
Now that’s art
cool easy to make stand 👍👍👍 good job on it
Молодец борода! Своё рабочее место должно быть удобно! Супер!
That was Excellent!!
hello great video big like for this good work nice
great video as always👍
Great job
beautiful piece and nice resto!
That’s awesome!!
Nice job, but why drill big holes in the anchor plates and only put small bolts in. Defeats the object. Use larger bolts to anchor it down more. :)
I believe its because they're at an angle, also with bigger holes, it allows for more freedom when adjusting the anvil
Amazing video and congratulations for 1M subscribers
Well done, and I hope that base holds up to the pounding...
Looks like it should be ok though👌🏻
Very nice. I might suggest putting a little rubber between anvil and stand if vibration is too much.
Thanks
The anvil absorbs the vibration.
Acho o trabalho q ele faz é incrível. Enquanto ele começa a fazer as coisas, eu já começo a imaginar como vai terminar . 😎😚
Ronise Nogueira. saudações. olá compatriota. humm... sou ruim de imaginação... bigornas me lembram desenhos do Papa-Léguas, Pernalonga, Tom & Jerry... etc. uma boa noite. sucesso na vida.
That seems like a very tall stand. Are you still growing?
Sempre bons restauros
Nice video
Good job
@ 8:45 your approach much like mine.....'this not working well'....and make the modification. Bravo!
Awesome and very nicely done my brother I like this video to good job.I will see you later take care bro much love Family :)
I have no experience in blacksmithing but this seems to be a bit too tall. You have to lift your arms to reach the anvil, so when doing real forging it will be too high. Or use it just as a mini anvil like you've shown in the video ?
Read the description 👍
@@Everythings_Adjustable woops sorry, my bad
No probs, I forget to read them all the time
I would not consider pure cosmetics to be qualifiable as an "anvil restoration".
As.ex., a resurfacing build +retempering would. But hey, looks nice ! I saw no conservation steps in your shining grind. How will you avoid immediate rust ?
Bravo!!!
Seus vídeos relaxa até minha alma fora o trabalho perfeito que vc faz😌😌⚠️
Where do you recommend to go to find tools in need of restoration?
Bravissimo👏👏👏
i like how he pulls an I beam and a car tire rim outta nowhere
Ciao sei un grande , ottimo e bellissimo canale, di dove sei?
Forging anvil Italian style perfekt
I need an Anvil so bad
very niceee
I really like the way you made it higher than usual . I'm no blacksmith but they all seem to be to low . I cant imagine swinging and heavy hammer bent over for hours at a time . Now saying that I'm sure all the blacksmiths are gonna pipe up and say I'm wrong but really I would rather have huge muscular arms than a broke back !
Nice job....very nice. Perhaps you could list the 'products' you use on the videos.
Super !!!
Só de lixar, já dar um outro aspecto pro objeto 😨😁😁
How long had that anvil been in the ground?
whoah! when did you get over a million subs?
Looks like a metal dinosaur :>
Is that a metabo grinder?!
Как всегда крут))
Bravo Respekt 👉😍❤🤝
Aah man how do people find these kind of treasures
Muito top👏🇧🇷
Ship that to me, I'm desperate for any anvil!
awww its jus' a lil' baby
Nice
Bravo!!! Like!)
Perfect
Nicely done, but it would sit a little too tall for me.
Verrah Nice
It's like your big one had a baby lol
can you make a video which is describe the chemical products you use on your videos?
