Great video! 👍
I use paste wax to keep my little anvil from rusting. 😁
Hi Roy. When I know I'm gonna be off the anvil or whatever tools for a while, 2-4 days or more, I just either rub on some boiled linseed oil or easier trick is to spray some spatter shield which isn't too pricey. Just my .02 cents. God Bless~
Pam cooking spray works very well.
Loved this video. Thanks! I am reassured now.
I like to use Fluid Film it is a lanolin based corrosion inhibitor. Used Fluid Film on helicopters while on active duty.
Fluid film is great stuff for sure
Rust is nature's iron protectant. I have a dolly which sits outside and has developed a rust patina anywhere the original paint chipped off. I have had that dolly for years. I too have a Peddinghaus anvil which I keep in the garage and which I lightly coat with butcher block wax. It is not as big as Olga weighing only 125 kilos. It has a few rust spots but they are thin. The wax covers them nicely.
I like your videos man! Lots of good info!
Mix fine woodkol linnoil and beewax melt and cast to a block and polich the anvil.
😊
great choice - either keep working or apply a light coating of oil. most any will work as long as it is not a water dispersed oil.
Minwax furniture paste wax . Wirewheeled it clean 220 on my orbital sander to get rid of the welding splatter . Let my heater warm it up then waxed it works great on cast iron table saw top too
I just get a little bit of motor oil and oil it down with a rag, removes the rust there and helps prevent it later
In a pinch I used cooking oil ( soy ) , a week later , no rust , and the possum that hangs around the shop seemed to enjoy it as well :)
Great advice all the way through! Thank you.
Hello Roy,
I happen to have what is essentially a copy of Olga, which is currently out in the backyard, the whole surface brown from the time out there while I build my bellows.
Despite knowing these rust-removal tips from my time as an apprentice, I greatly appreciate you share this with everyone who did not yet know this.
You have my thanks!
I love the rants and the fact you spill the truth not caring what people think or say.
I like to do the same with the silicone spray. That or wipe it down with linseed oil. Usually only do it when I’m going to be away from it for a week or longer.
Linseed oil
Alittle linseed oil on a rag which is in the shop already give it a wipe
I thought for sure this was going to be a 30 second video with the answer "put hot steel on it and hit it with a hammer" lol
Thanks for the tip Roy.
fast fact : Steel wool and oil .
I know this video is a year old, no idea why UA-cam popped it up for me. Anyways this is the way I do it too. My forge area is covered but only walled on the side with my shop, so rain and snow will blow in. My advise is don't remove the rust, polish it with oil and steel wool. It's called browning and was used before blueing to prevent further rusting.
One that I haven't seen mentioned is renaissance wax; would that perhaps do the job? Having said that, Roy's system sounds perfectly effective. The rag soaked in oil sounds like a winner too; just drape it over the anvil when you're done for the day.
Hey Roy. I've been using just Lanox. An American product made from sheep oil from their wool. Lanolin. I use it on my lathe and mill drill and now in the anvil. And it's good on ya hands. Lubricates and repeals water. Too easy.
Being in the Pacific NW rust is inevitable so thanks for the tips.
Indeed! Northern Idahoan here ! Rust and moss!!
When I was working overseas I was gone for 4-6 weeks at a time. I'd simply wipe the face of the anvil off and put a thin layer of grease on it. No rust. Now I just wipe down with an oily rag between uses. I'm a blade smith so it's one day in the forge and a week or two in the shop.
if you are going to leave your anvil alone for extended time seal with bees wax and then take a piece of canvas that has been oiled and lay it over the anvil
works great for me in the winter time.
Thanks, I feel much better now.
I buy a spray on oil that prevents rusting. it is not WD40 its thick and sits on the surface even the sides
is it going to leave patterns onypur work piece like a tink in the anvil might?
Paste wax?
I have found that using one of those cheap fine wire brushes not a wire wheel works well to just scrub off the rust
Wow! I got it 11 seconds after it was posted.
7! Congrats on being this early though.
I just leave it alone. I see too many tragic results of people grinding on their poor anvil over a teeny bit of surface rust.
Get a piece of cotton cloth ( old bed sheet) and saturate it In linseed oil and let it dry flat. Drape it over the anvil with a weight on it. It’s not perfect but works ok.
I picked up an anvil for cheap but the idiot left it out in the rain for a month so I gotta clean off the rust
Over winter, I put a good greasy coat of blacksmith goop on it, and cover it with a heavy plastic and bungy cord
Put a cardboard box over it this will absorb some of the moisture and protect the face
I have found that applying a light coat of furniture wax on steel prevents rust. I have a table saw with a cast iron table.
I use the loctite and it really does a great job on the rust on my anvil and tools.
another idea is after you Quit for the day is to wipe it down with car past wax while its still worm from use. and wipe the extra off with a clean rag. i also use it on the things i make that aren't for food preparing.. i hope this helps.
Good idea. I am gonna use it
Yup, the Pacific Northwest is a rust haven! But we just deal with it! It's like the moss growing behind our knees, lol! It's inevitable, you just learn to live with it! 😁🤣
I keep some old motor oil around for my anvil and tools
I own a large equipment rental store ! We’ve always used sae 30 and wd40 mixed 50/50. Too keep buckets trenching chains shiny and looking just used or brand new ... rusty stuff don’t rent !
FIRST!... rust happens... meh
When I first got my Hay Budden, it was too rough from years of rust, so I had to resurface it to avoid unwanted texture. I took it down just to an acceptable level of minor pits and then polished it to a mirror finish. I haven't had to do anything else in over a year.
I do this with more anvils get an old bath towel I put over the anvil if you spray WD40 on it on a regular basis it should stop the rust. Eventually the towel will become fairly soaked with WD40 and it should stay fairly moist. If you do get rust. Just go over it with a flat sanding wheel on your grind up or a wire brush on your grinder. Easy peasy Japanesey.
rolling stone stone gathers no moss. sounds like the best way to prevent rust is to USE your anvil. a light coating of oil doesnt hurt either.
Hit some hot steel on it!
As previously stated, it'll wear off with use.
However if you'd rather not wait and wanna get it cleaned off and pretty again, another way you could remove the rust, I haven't seen mentioned,
wet sand it with a very fine grade scotch brite pad or very fine grit Emory cloth, promptly blow off with the air compressor or wipe down with rubbing alcohol to help remove moisture, then lightly coat with your preferred metal protector
Uh oh....
Indeed lol
@@ChristCenteredIronworks i didn't know😭, but have only done so once since having it back in a place where it'll hopefully be used
Rust don't grow on money !!! GET TO WORK SMITH !!
I use 2 cycle engine mixing oil works good in Mississippi cold nights warm days = rust Love the answer-- Use It.
What l have been doing is just WD40 all over it. When l was mounting the anvil, l warmed it up with a rosebud and melted beeswax all over it. This seemed to work okay. Thanks again for the video Roy.
You had my answer.. Just use it. Lol Thanks Roy who 🤟
Loctite is great for...If you need a new piece of steel to match old rusty one like an old post vise piece. Just force rust with vinegar ,hydrogen peroxide and salt mixture let rust and cover with Loctite after desired rust texture.
A light coating of motor oil prevents rust from building up. That is what I do.
Love it. It's a real issue, with a real answer. Thanks Roy Adams. Information is gold. As some know I have no shop and all my equipment is outside. So oil is my go to. Boiled linseed oil on the non work surface area of things and light oil on work surface area.
But the rust converter is a fantastic idea. Maybe I should switch to that. Something to ponder upon.
🙏God bless you and your family. Be well and of good spirits.
Crawford out 🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
What exactly is this rust effect you speak about?
Stan Ervin. Tucson, AZ. Where it rained once. Year round average humidity 11%. I spat on the ground one time and watched two lizards battle it out for rights to lap it up. 🦎🦎
Lol
well the way we keep rust off our tools that have two enemies rust and politicians, is a good light coating of oil, or use a paint on tools if you must to keep the rust away, or keep it covered up to keep the dirt and moisture on it though for roy with a slightly open air shop like that its not possible, but surfice rust will happen even if its just a bit cold in a shop or a good coat of wax though this was already sugested after a light sanding to get some of the rust off if you must because its become thicker
I tried that. Still have politicians. It didn't work.
@@Volundur9567 and the rust?
Hot flux? LOL. Beeswax, paste wax. Mine get's covered in all kinds of stuff. No rust yet!
Yeah, steel rusts. Get over it! As you say, working on the anvil makes it go away.
1st maybe lol
