Stake anvil, wrought iron and steel faced. (2020)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2020
- in 2016 started a wrought iron stake anvil. I was facing difficulties getting a steel face forge welded to wrought iron, in hindsight - for multiple reasons.
Now with more experience I can better reflect on what I did wrong and can correct what is necessary to hopefully finish this anvils after these years.
It is time for a redemption of this stake anvil that I thought would be lost!

It’s too shiny for my taste
What? Do you lick the anvils?
@@TechnicusJoe 😂😂😂🤘
Yep, I prefer that it has some crunchy bits
@@TechnicusJoe
Go check the watercutting channel. They taste and lick everything they get in their dirty paws.
@@TechnicusJoe
Some only do if they are freshly shaved. I like au natural!
The first few minutes of this video has enough blacksmith knowledge ,that it could save 20 years of trial and error! Thank you for posting !
💪💪👏👏👍👍fantastic job Joey!!!! Skills change over time, im just glad your still hammering away :)
I seen a stake anvil at a renaissance fair and when I asked why a stake anvil instead of a full size anvil. His reply was "Its cheaper, easier to move and shows that anyone can blacksmith without a thousand something dollars anvil."
A block of steel is even cheaper. Makes me wonder if the Renaissance smith/guy sells railroad spike knives for 500 dollars each or more!
Okay so could a stake anvil make a good tool for getting starteg into smithing and what range of projects can you do with it? Then the renaissance fair man would` ve been quite a hypocrite...
@@alexzioek9680 I can't really say if it a stake anvil is good or bad for getting started into blacksmithing. There are distinct differences though.
An anvil is more like a block, the mass is fairly close together. A stake anvil is pretty much the opposite, it's tall, but the face is not big and the horns are usually very long.
The stake anvil was to back up the mostly hornless anvils smiths used to have so they could do their bending and setting operations.
You can forge on a stake anvil. Though I find an anvil, even if a small anvil, just stands more stable, because that is what it is designed for.
The Renaissance guy sounds to me like the type of person who dislikes paying money for (good) tools, since it's only a "lump of metal."
Why should that cost more than scrap prices?
Though they would happily sell you a 500 dollar railroad spike knife since it cost so much time to make it.
Yet, they own a 1000 dollars bit of plastic, glass and copper (their smartphone) to tell you, they think any tool above scrap price is too expensive.
Each tool has a set of capablities, a sawyers anvil is basically a big flat block of iron and steel for making long flat saw blades and thats about it , a london pattern anvil (or any with a table, horn, hardy and pritchel) is made to do a variety of jobs from tongs right through to garden gates ...stake anvils are made to do similar jobs but on much smaller work or in hard to reach places.....If you look up tin smithing a stake anvil is an essential tool where in a way its an addon for a blacksmith
@@TalRohan Thanks a lot. My dilema was about whether to choose a small multi-purpose anvil or a stake. Both mostly for... multiple purposes as the aformentioned suggests but I need to start with some tool making. Having read the comments I think a small anvil is the way to go even though I need something quite portable, at least transporable. I thought that a 30- 40 kg anvil could be, pontentially ,a waste of money, a "toy anvil" while the stake could serve well before getting to the real thing and still having it` s place in the shop later. I was probably wrong with this opinion.
Your close ups are second to none Joey. The shots of you forge welding are fantastic.
Thank you, Mark!
Joey, your stake anvil resurrection is beautiful. What I particularly enjoyed in this video is your commentary on what may or may not have been done previously and your insights on forge welding, your experiences. You explain forge welding, the types of fires, fuel, techniques and fine points that I have never seen in any other descriptions of forge welding. You are the best!
Joe, I've followed your channel and your work since you first started posting videos from the workspace behind those shipping containers. I remember when you went to France to work in that other shop, it was around the same time I was fixing up a Champion 400 blower and you were gracious enough to offer me a TON of advice with it as well as tips on my (still-existing) tong-making struggle. Love your work, hope to try many of your handlforging projects at some point. It's humbling to see/hear you critique your own work, which most of us find amazing. I'm convinced you could forge weld two 2x4s together! Keep it up! Cheers.
It has a very nice looking profile. You can definitely see the Improvement in your skills, mentors very satisfying to complete an old project like that
Very nice! I wondered where that one ended up! Now we know!
Very proud of skills. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing the final steps of the journey.
The stake anvil came out beautifully! I posted my first comment while still watching you work. Well Done! A gorgeous tool to be used and appreciated for decades to come!
As always great work. A pleasure to watch and learn.
That still came out awesome with all the troubles you had. Nice works.
Really enjoying the anvil builds, great work maye, it's making me want to get my forge set up
very cool to see it finished, looking forward to seeing it working now...
Awesome Joey, must feel good to have it finished 👍 looking forward to seeing it in use 😀
That is a beautiful stake anvil. You always do amazing work.
Beautiful man. Great work
A wonderfully crafted tool. Congratulations on your skill. I have seen all your videos on youtube by now. You have a gift for forging metal and passing knowledge to others. All the best and I am asking for more.
Beautiful piece you made there well done sir!
thanks so much for for the information furnish, and thank you from keeping me from making mistakes or errs , as I wanted to make a stake anvil in future for myself. Outstanding skills and thank you again.
My regards.
You sir are one of the best.
Great!! I could do with one of those... Thanks for another instructive video joey.
Great completion joey!
I want to buy that from you bro. Your videos keep getting better. Cheers!
This video is so informative, I’ve only ever tried forge welding once, if only I had seen this video before then, I’m sure I would have had success sooner.
Keep up the great work, I eagerly await your next video.
Outstanding, Sir !!!!
I gotta watch this but...I’ll wait until this evening when I can view it a few times. You gotta watch Joey’s videos more than once to catch everything. I’ll give the thumb up now in case I might forget this evening. Can’t wait.
Cheers Steve, have fun watching!
I totally agree.
He almost always gets 3 to 5 watches from me...to bad I can only give 2 likes 1 for me and one for Dragonstone Gem and Ironworks
Wonderful video always enjoy your work. Keep it up.
Wow Joey that really looks great. And that was good advise about the borax. I noticed the same when welding large pieces. Mostly with iron. Thx again.....Paul🔥⚒👍
It looks great! Hopefully it holds together and gives many years of use.
De la forge dans la tradition super travail.Bravo.
I'm sorry. Your earlier videos of you just hammering with jazz music playing, and the hat were so cool.
It had a flow of "just doing, and enjoying it".
Excelente video Joey !!!!
VERY nice!
thanks for sharing
Real beauty, excellent job. 👍
"Misinformation "......we get a lot of that in the States!! Really enjoyed the discussion and the information. Fingers crossed. Thanks and have a happy day!
Love to see your work so we've seen you make small anvils so the next one must be a full size one
Being me, and my skills being at least a millennium behind yours I would be over the moon with that! I will give it my best, love to have a stake anvil, one I forged myself! Love your mank tank, almost as nasty as mine, but burning fingers do not care what colour the water is!
This looks like it could be used for other worker's like some small crafty type of knick knacks. Setting small rivets and gussets on small projects come to mind. It would be easy to store in a drawer. Like it!
Il parai que c'est en forgeant que l'on devient forgeron donc forcement avec les années de pratique on fait les choses de mieux en mieux 👍
Surtout les soudures ou il faut maîtriser la température de la forge et de l'acier!
Oui, l'expression en Français, c'est vrai! C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron!
This Video is an great example for never giving up a great project! It turned out beautiful ( a bit to shiny tho, but time and work will take care of that) and I really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for these great 30 mins of my day ; ) Keep up the good work and all the best from the sunny Rheinland, Maximilian.
Danke, Maximilian!
@@TechnicusJoe Sehr gerne! Danke für die Antwort! I will sent you an E-mail because I like to thank you for all the great content you share with us!
Came out good Joey.
Thanks, Len!
Nice work forge on
As always, nice end result, and informative video. I'm still envious that you can get your hands on so much wrought iron! Hard to find on the U. S. West coast. In two years of looking I've only found one single half inch square bar of the stuff.
Old wagon wheels often have wrought iron tires.
Heel mooi gedaan ✅ !!! Ook een goede uitleg over de “muziek” in een aambeeld.
Amazing
Heat it up & Beat it up. Good video.
Awesome 👍!
That color shift was the scariest thing I've ever witnessed...
Nice!
Mooi mkr.hoop dat het niet breekt ⚒️🔥⚒️
Holy silk purse from a sow's ear Batman ! 😁
Super cool video as always, and always a joy to watch. Oh yeah, and also I am not sure if you will see this, but I have a question. So I have been saving up for a new camera, a Canon M50 to be exact, and one thing I want to do for my little channel eventually is to film some of my forging and get nice and close for the viewers. I was wondering if you would know if the intense amount heat and high amounts of light, especially from forge welding hurt the camera in any way? Would I need some sort of UV filter that I have seen you use to prevent liquid steel splatter? Idk I might be over reacting, but if you see this, it would help so much. Thanks, Pablo
Every camera is different. Mine seems to be able to take the heat OK.
The manual says to NOT point camera at bright objects, which I fully fail at. The camera seems to hold out though.
Get a disposable UV filter, anything to protect your lense, particularly with blacksmithing, grinding etc. anything that can fly at the lense and damage it.
If I didn't protect the lense of my camera, I would have had to buy several new cameras....
Joey van der Steeg Thanks so much!
Hey Joey. Have you thought about an oldschool davinci hammer? It wouldn't be that much of a compromise (in my humble opinion) because it would be leg powered.
Incredible workmanship. What are the holes for?
Thank you!
So you can drive down rivets, before riveting, or drifting small stuff or holding something in place.
At least it's more original than the, ubiquitous connecting rod handled sword...Ah, Taladaga...
The resurrection anvil.
Looks good to me.
I’ve got about 65 pounds of wrought iron wagon wheels, it’s not very refined, do you think it is worth my time to fold it over and refine it a few times or just use it as is for cladding on knives? Thanks!
That depends. Does what you want to make really require wrought iron? If not, how much do you want to have it made of wrought iron?
Then remains, how easy or difficult is it for your to work the iron? And can you insure the welds will be good or good enough?
Answering these questions should give you an idea if refining the iron is a good idea.
Why not drift the larger hole square for a mini hardy?
Good job buddy thing might not perfect to you but is really nice looking. Skol
Wellllll, I meant to watch about the first five minutes, wound up with the entire half hour again. Whoops!
Are they for sale?
No drop forging. You only get 4 1/2 points out of 5.
Giggle alot
👍👍
That thing would be perfect for somebody shoe and horses if they had a wedge block it would be perfect it's small do the work and a wedge block you know those can be small or big
I have a question. Is there a reason you don’t use a Brian brazeal style hot cut?
I like quick in and out action, no tappy tap tap tap.
Keep a Brazeal style hotcut in your travel bag. Hardy holes are seldom a standard size in those old anvils that frequent smithing workshops and such. My shop hotcut is a salvaged axe blade with a piece of square bar welded into it (not fire welded).
@@sjtaylor128 I either bring a hand chisel or a handled hot cut. Cut anything anywhere, regardless of the hardie hole.
Chisels and handled hot cuts will allow you to do cuts and pattern decorations etc you can't do, or not even as easily with a hot cut for in the hardie hole, regardless of design.
Joey van der Steeg it’s really not that bad it’s just a tap and it’s out!
@@ztheblacksmith It's not like they are extremely stuck. I just don't like they have to be tapped to take them out.
I have used them various times from other smiths. I just like an in and out hardie.
I like coke. Bit pricey nowadays. Good, clean coke is like... well... good. KWIM? Gotta draw the line somewhere!
P.S. :Afterthought. Maybe next time forge the tool steel to a 'j' on both ends before the forge weld to the wrought? To 'wrap' around the wrought. Better horn tip integrity for usage? And of course draw temper the tips a little bit. Thoughts?
Sounds like an excuse to do an updated version to show your revolution as a blacksmith.
I am definitely going to wear out that excuse!
Joey, i have a very unrelated question....what do you know about ceramic chip gas forges alike this one? : www.angele-shop.com/shop/en/gas-forge-type-g-800-p
I have seen them, and know Angele Maschinebau sells them, as you like them.
There is a version in the UK I have heard good things about.
Though I have heard other smiths totally disliked it.
Can't say more than that, since I have not used any ceramic chip forge before.
Its obvious to me why it wouldn't weld. You were using the wrong hand to hit it
LOL

Oh, Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunaise!
yummy
Bro...I'm not going to unsubscribe from you as I have learned so much over these years.
But stop with your unfounded snarky 'Orange' comments about Mr. Trump. I can tell you with certainty...you know NOT of which you speak! As a follow up...you need to divorce yourself from the lame stream media and do some real 'in depth' research!
Now back to blacksmithing...wonderful as always sir, my knowledge continues to grow and I truly thank you for that!
WWG1WGA!!!
Less yak yak more whack whack
at least at the start of the video
You lost me when you got to what you thought was clever about out American President. What? Are you an ignorant liberal media acolyte who really believes they're reporting the truth? Silly man. Maybe we should comment on how the Netherlands have caved to Islam. Yeah baby, that will end well. Stick to beating iron and steel and leave the your liberal politics out of the conversation. Buh-bye.... followed you for a few years, call me unsubbed.
