How anvils used to be made (2023)

A brief look into how anvils used to be forged and forge welded by the build-up method.
The anvils pattern is a Southern German pattern with dubble feet and features a supported breast with upsetting block.
Forged together with Jeroen Smit at his workshop.

I am glad you are back I missed seeing you work Thank you

[@PossumSausage]

So glad to see you back Joey! You are one of the main reasons I wanted to get to know forge welding so well. You are the welding pro and you were always open and honest with mistakes so we could all learn. I loved your videos

[@jensdavidsen4557]

Couldn't agree more!!! Great to see you again JVDS!!!

[@smacksteel708]

I couldn’t agree more tbh, his videos are great 👍

[@christiancorrado7686]

Finally! My favorite blacksmith is posting again!

[@richardbryant7972]

I thought it was a mistake or an old one that came up. So glad your back doing blacksmithing missed your videos for sure.

[@WildStyleWorks]

YOU ARE BACK!!! 🥳🥳🥳 best blacksimth on youtube! thank you Joey

[@jimforsyth2.]

Dang glad your back at it . Miss the anvil making

[@motd8931]

Yes, yes, YES!!! The King of the forge weld is BACK!!! HAPPY DAYS!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Been a long time brother glad to see another expertly Crafted video and item

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Amen 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼‍♂️

[@barthanes1]

I had no idea. I thought the base was cast, and then the face was forge welded on. I never thought you could just build it up in chunks. Super cool video, thanks.

[@autumn5592]

Anvils have been made every which way; Cast, forged from one piece, forge welded from steel chunks, cast base and steel top. It is what was easiest to produce to yield the best product for any given place.

[@4wheelwarrior]

me neither! total surprise ...

[@1clinkerman]

So happy to see another video from you!!!! Greetings from East Tennessee, US of A.

[@keithhicks9196]

Excited to see a new video! Thanks for uploading.

[@officinaferraria]

welcome back!, it's great that you're posting anvil videos again. Thanks!

[@victoryfirst2878]

Excellent job fellas. YOU are true craftsman. PERIOD !!!!!

[@hammeredanvil7377]

We've ALL missed you mate!

[@itatane]

Very interesting, sir. I'd no idea how it was done until I saw this. It also demonstrates how critical timing can be, not just with the temperature and working time. It can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing for two tools to come in contact while aiming for the same spot... (I'm terrible, I know.)

[@Just_Sara]

I am terrible too because I am laughing.

[@gordtemple764]

Steel on steel is ok. We are not, electricians. 🍻🇨🇦👨‍🏭

[@PaulG.x]

Unless , of course , you enjoy that sort of thing

[@wolfsforge2]

Nice, thanks for showing this .

[@williamcunha9136]

Thank you Joey for taking the time to film this process. You two have amazing skills!

[@robroy5729]

THANK YOU FOR FINALLY GETTING SOME MORE CONTENT OUT!!!! Please upload some of your older stuff as well, they were very educational!! Thanks again Joey.

[@demastust.2277]

Or at least make the old videos public again. I cannot count the amount of times I showed your video to some one who needed to understand something.

[@pmi7696]

No blabla, just show. Great master.

[@ronthacker211]

Nice to see you Joey. Great project.

[@ericwhitmire4610]

I've missed those close ups! Good to see you Joey

[@andrewoperacz7427]

[@bobbymcdonald1049]

Good to see you again.

[@evilweenie5743]

That anvil is sick AF!

[@ivprojects8143]

Glad to see you're still forging! Thanks for the cool video.

[@gunflint1776]

Great to have you posting again! I would love to see your old videos back on the channel! I was learning so much from them, and was very bummed when they got taken down.

[@Smallathe]

Awesome video. Glad to see some more blacksmithing content :)

[@brucepettis7099]

I as well have missed watching a master at work. A few years ago you helped me understand this very technique. Thank you.

[@Matt-uj6jm]

Brilliant educational video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@claudiogodoy4004]

I'm so thankful to see that...I never thought this could be possible without heavy machinery, You can weld anything my man!!😮...really amazing how easy it seems to watch you do it.

[@elirobertson2324]

Wow this is incredible. Now a days they get casted and poured. Never would think to keeo adding metal like this!

[@randyc5650]

Always the best at filming hot metal! And nice work too.

[@532bluepeter1]

Thank you very much for making this wee video. Though I have read of fire welding many years ago I have never seen it. This was most illuminating.

[@beatlebomber]

Great to see you back Joey.

[@deathatsix]

Awesome work Joey!

[@herbievanbeveren1314]

[@steveallen2681]

Joey, thank you for uploading . I’m mesmerized with your work

[@Just_Sara]

I forgot how restful I find listening to your videos. It sounds like I'm joking, but I'm not, I promise!

[@thepaingainer]

My life wasn't the same without your videos. Thank You for coming back!

[@markfarnay1330]

I like the idea of two separate fires for each part

[@Peumechaut]

Hey Joey ! Te voilà revenu à la forge !!! Au plaisir ! J.Luc

[@matthewfaust2]

I was wondering if we would ever be blessed again with a new video from you. Thank you sir

[@gabrielnavarro8721]

[@hectorguzman28]

Very nice video man. Thanks
