The ability to happily laugh at one's self, without being self-deprecating, is a fine art and a highly admirable quality. Good stuff Nathan!

[@davepost7675]

That stink bug lens reaction is priceless.

[@kevinthompson7160]

Hahaha.. I'm m sorry, but that stink bug walking on the camera WAS HILARIOUS to me. And agin when you replayed it on this one. Haha love it. Your face, priceless. You thought it was a ghost haha behind you probably. Very funny. Laughing with you, not at you.

[@Canopus68]

I got a 100lb anvil for $10.00. I was a runner at an auction. I noticed some of the good old boys going out back and looking at something. When they went back in the auction barn. I went and looked at what they were looking at. It was an old 100lb anvil in the weeds. I picked up and brought in. I set in front of the auctioneer. He asked for bids. The old timers were going to steel it. Well there were so angry they refused to bid on it. So I bid $10.00 took it home. I still have it.

[@1954JDR]

My grandfather, a blacksmith, used hickory and ash for his anvil bases.

[@Steven-yf7zp]

I know this comment is late to the mix, but, I just watched the video. #57 stone is a mixture designation by ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials). Specific sieve sizes are designated for this aggregate. This, along with other tests, help to assure uniformity in the production of concrete. These tests are utilized by engineers to produce mixtures to certain compressive strengths.

[@jonathanesweeney]

The look on your face when you noticed the bug was priceless. Great stuff!!!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

For the anvil, a nice solid log of Ash would be sweet. After the Emerald Ash Borer, Ash Wood is disappearing.

Re: o.d. 25:35 😂 The camera, too, was trying to tell you it was time to go to supper!! 😉👍

[@user-ml3oc1yc6q]

Stink bugs are little demons. They crawl into any where they fit. Whether that be a chainsaw, string trimmer or a pressure washer wand. You think they stink when you smash em. Get 20 in your string trimmer muffler and fire it up. Good videos. Your camera work is first rate. The shots on your mill really impressive

[@harrykeel8557]

That was very interesting on why you would or wouldn't cut a log a certain way.

[@alanatolstad4824]

The verbiage was a bit too technical for me to follow, but in the end, it all made sense all of a sudden!

[@GuzzyMan]

I found out a good way to take out the stink bugs and a lot of other insects. Get a spray bottle fill it with water and put a couple of squirts of liquid dawn dish soap. Mix/shake the bottle and spray about 2-3 sprays per bug and they will expire within 30 seconds after spraying them. Its a good way I have been protecting the homestead and plants over the last couple of years without using some poison / toxic chemicals.

[@eileencollins8799]

It blocks up their breathing holes.

Liquid Marseilles soap diluted I use diluted on my roses to get rid of aphids and other laundry and household cleaning. 👍

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

rare occurracne

[@stanwebb3480]

White Oak inside not out side exposed to the Weather!!! Octagon base, Big enough to walk around so you pound on the anvil from more than one side/angle.....Tall enough so you do not have bend over but strike from back to shoulder if need be... ???? Great Multi Locking Wheels so easy to move from wall area for storage to work space in the middle of the floor!!!! Great Luck!!!!!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Nathan, will catch you tomorrow when you finish the milling on this cherry log. Fred.

[@evslone]

Great advice to reach out to others for suggestions, no matter what the task.

[@dondwyer3679]

It's always interesting to learn about the wood you mill. Thanks.

[@TnScrapper52]

I read a article that said you can use cedar oil spray to get rid of stink bugs ticks and other nasty critters.

[@martineastburn3679]

57 sounds like 0.5" to .75". That range in the mix. Good size. Black walnut might be the ticket - beautiful and tight grain.

[@michaelc.3812]

I don’t do that much woodworking anymore, but poplar was always one of my favorite species of wood for easy cutting and nice finishing.

[@briggsahoy1]

I learn something from your videos every time, RB, Nova Scotia.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Little extra work, you could blend a combination of cherry, walnut, and Red Oak glued together, doweled or bolted.

[@snobear41]

Nathan, Black walnut while beautiful it splits VERY easily. You mentioned red oak, that would be my choice for something that will need to absorb a lot of impacts- Tyler

[@mstrdiver]

Nathan / Tyler - If I might weigh in on the support wood selection for the anvil stand, have you considered using some well-seasoned maple as it will absorb long-term pounding better than most woods?

[@snobear41]

While I do not disagree on Maple (I am originally from Vermont) Nathan mentioned Oak that he had? Maple a little harder to come by (am in Missouri) red oak is also far lower price than walnut or maple.@@mstrdiver

[@TheRedhawke]

My choice if using Oak would be White Oak. It seems tougher than Red Oak and doesn’t break down as fast here in East Texas. Another tough Oak is Post Oak which I would take ahead of Red Oak for an anvil base.

[@snobear41]

@@TheRedhawke I picked the red oak as brings less $$ but you are correct on the hardness of white & post oak

[@iwginc2877]

57 gravel size is a mixture of size 5 and size 7. The reason for the mix is compaction, do not use on bare ground .. Put down geo textile mat, cover with #2 , pack down, put down #6, pack down, cover with waste, pac down. Do ground prep so the road is not a waterway and washes away your gravel.

[@grahamcifuentes4451]

The best anvil base is a stump on Iron Bark !No question.

[@joerieger4781]

use maple for the anvil stand, it is what everyone in the Northeast uses. very hard wood with good end grain impact.

[@kkrolf2782]

The northeast does have some fabulous H A R D Maple, but the rest of the U.S., I don’t t h i n k, has the good luck to grow species with such a fabulous characteristic. Most other locations produce much softer Maples. Your harsher winters I think contribute to a better end product.

[@woodworksbysnyder3456]

Love the videos. Long time subscriber but recent binge watcher. I watch these and just can’t help but smile when I watch. Very good description of that log and what the outcome would be.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@369dusty]

Great video Nathan ! Liked all the content. What I really appreciate is your clean language !!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I appreciate that!

[@joeysweet9045]

For you anvil stand just do like some people do and cut a nice log to size and level both ends up and flip it up that makes a nice stand when the bark is peeled off!!

[@williambryant5946]

Home Defense Max will keep them away. Get a gallon from Walmart and spray it on everything especially the ceiling and walls of the saw shed. It will keep every bug and spider out of the shed. I have a open metal carport like that that I keep all kinds of stuff under and a shed roof over my porch that's open on two sides. I spray everything under both with that stuff every 6 months and it works. Also spray it heavily on the top 6 inches of my foundation where the house meets it and around the windows and doors every 6 months too and I have no bugs, ants, or spiders in my house.

[@greatsilentwatcher]

I enjoyed the stink bug's gag. That little stinker. Enjoy your time ar Bunyan.

[@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj]

White oak will work well enough for an anvil stand!

[@wdwtx2.0]

Black Walnut. If you could get some bois d'arc that would be cool too.

[@chris3m98]

Enjoyed the longer video & lesson on how to get the most out of a log. Thanks

[@doncraig6864]

walnut would be a waste of good wood - Red Oak is strong and heavy, rot resistant and common enough to not be a waste

[@garysuderman174]

I vote red Oak for the Anvil base. Hey Nate, you might want to plant some grass so you can keep up with Mike M. lol Thanks for the video :-)

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Good call!

[@Ubotit_Unaymit]

Seems like the oak would be best for durability, but it's your shop. 👍🏼

You can order traps on line to help with the bug issue or use fly strips to do the same thing.

Once again, thank you for the lesson on sawing, I'm woodworker and love cherry I'll be more observant the next time I buy cherry. Thank you, I always learn something when watching your channel.

[@perstaffanlundgren]

A trunk anvil base I a classic ,the end grain will work better as base than the side of the wood , less bonsy and take pressure forces better . Bigger Mecanical hammers are placed on standing pieces of wood surfaces to prevent the whole thing ibreaking the floor when Operating. Mill out foot print impression Of the anvil in the overiside . Scrimp on warm steel rings on the base to prevent cracking . Put tool holders in the sides. Bigger anvills may benefit from being removable from the base , to lighten the thing when handling it .

[@williamellis8993]

Brats for dinner. I just had a concrete slab (18' x 16') poured and they used 57 under it and in it. Bill

Oak with a black walnut strip

[@stephanielovatt2787]

I'm glad you've got your anvil, you were looking forward to it so much! It looks a fine one. Thank you for explaining ths way you were cutting the cherry log with the sweep. It makes really good sense!

[@rustyplummer4124]

For the new anvil, I'm thinking a combination of walnut with oak as an accent to give it a two tone look. Don't stain the oak !! Leave it natural. Just a thought.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@michelem9341]

Great instructional video!

[@rickpitts2277]

White oak stump, debarked. If you can get one with a bit of swell to the base so it won't want to tip. To prevent splitting put on a metal band. You might even try hot banding it if your forge is long enough to get the band hot enough to be pliable for the wrap. I saw where several folk suggested Osage orange/Bois d Ark, that is a very dense wood and very hard. Don't usually find logs large enough for lumber but a stump for the anvil would be awesome. The yellow/orangeish color would look good as well. We use the branches and saplings as fence posts now a days. They use to use it as wheel spokes, very durable and rot resistant. Not easy to split which would work well for your anvil base. Nice looking hunk of metal, enjoy it. Good luck and have fun. Be well Sir, May the Lord bless you and yours all the days of your life.

[@ronatwell5379]

Exactly! Who uses 8' cherry anyway? When I haul a "banana" log to the sawmill to be sawed, that is what I ask of them. Lay it on its side and slab it. Then, I'll take slabs home and straight line them. But first, I might cut them into 2 shorter pieces at the bend so I have less waste, only the sapwood. I have built a lot of cabinets in my years( I'm 72) and most pieces that go into a cabinet or a piece of furniture are less than 4'.

[@robertreisner6119]

The anvil could be on a black walnut stand. Plenty of strength and a great look. Have my own mill near Seward Alaska.

Here in NE PA the stink bugs make a dash to get in all at once. I started using Bifen IT and spraying the house and garage. Literally 100's of dead stink bugs. The stuff works great for a multitude of bugs/insects. Worth every penny.

[@aaronfletcher3971]

An old hickory stump makes the best anvil stand.

[@MrDmorgan52]

I'd go with white oak. It'll be there for Brunos grandkids!

[@brucemattes5015]

Well seasoned white oak for your anvil's base. Set the log several feet deep into the dirt floor of your forge, and trim it to the height that you ultimately decide on the working height of the anvil's top surface.

[@jwdickinson643]

definitely black walnut for the anvil stand!

Walnut is too nice for an anvil stand. Seems like Oak would be the right choice.

[@robopup1]

No. 57 stone is the stone that will pass through a No. 57 sieve max about 1" to 1.5"

[@garykemp977]

IMHO, it would be a waste of walnut. Red or White Oak would get my vote (if I even got one 😂)

[@blunderbuss9927]

Dinner - venison stew from the front shoulders of this year's first deer. As for the base for the anvil, pick a great round of wood, cut it to your perfect height for you, and wrap it so it doesn't split. Unless you want to turn it into an art project or something you want to put time into just because, there is no positive outcome of sawn walnut for the base, because you will have to replace it. Typically, all of our anvils are on pecan or oak cut out rounds. One of the anvils still sits on a round that is at least 70 years old, because I have pics of my dad using it when he was a wee lad.

[@unclefrogy743]

that way of handling a twisted log is clever and more efficient then cutting the log at the bend first then milling which is what i would b have done. it is what you do with already milled lumber. Doing it afterward is a better use of time and machinery if it fits in the kiln even better. as for the anvil the densest most stable wood in your area would work the best

[@user-zc6hi4hp7k]
