Restoration of Old Blacksmith Anvil

In this video you will see the restoration of an old blacksmith anvil quite damaged. I ran into some complications especially the tempering one , I hope you enjoy this video or at least it entertains you !
HISTORY :
The anvil traces its origins to the fifth millennium BC. of C. It is known that in 4200 a. from C. Flat stone blocks were used as an anvil on which soft metals such as copper were forged. Iron was later used to work harder metals.

Im always screaming and raving when i see people take so much of the surface of an anvil when they restore it, and simply replace the face with high carbon steel. Seeing you harden the face brought me joy! Good job! I think that you would have had an even better result if you would have moved it around in the watertank more during cuenching, adding new cold water does a lot, but steam jacket is a real thing! Well done sir! That is a well restored anvil!

Muchas gracias , me alegra mucho que te guste el resultado , no fue tarea facil , pero estoy contento con el resultado , proximo video sera mi primer cuchillo con un trozo de acero de 1000 años !!😜

Would have loved to see the difference between a steel ball bounce on the old surface compared to the new surface. Great video thumbs up.

Hello from England. Just subbed, i've got a thing for anvils. Lovely restoration. Thank you.

[@myrelics1]

[@f.k.burnham8491]

That anvil was an extremely poorly cast one from the factory. Nice restoration job. I was quite worried it might crack where the lead was poured in when you re-tempered it. All of the re-facing jobs I have seen were where the anvil was put into a large forge and the new face forge welded on. I treated my wooden base block bottom and sides with a copper base paint to kill any bugs trying to get into the wood. My friend and I both painted the sides and bottoms of our anvils with Atco Carbon Elastic paint. Horrible smell and takes a couple of weeks to dry, but in the last 50+ years since we treated them, no rust through the paint. I did like the routing of the anvil block for a good fit. Kudos on that idea. All in all, a very nice restoration job.

[@myrelics1]

Muchas gracias !! ❤ gracias por compartir tus experiencias , lo de la pintura es muy interesante y la buscare , saludos !!

Actually he did not really add any hardness to the anvil. Wrong kind of metal for that.

When screwing you use your drilling tool into drilling mode instead of screwing (the selector with numbers and drawings). It might be why you break some screws. Very nice work besides that.

Very cool, love the lathe faceing the anvil, you should do the ball bearing test to see if the face is hardened evenly.

Very nice l was wondering how you were going to harden the new top well done 👏

The hole, was a casting defect. The mold maker did not include a big enough RISER, to feed the cooling molten steel/iron.

[@bigbird4481]

[@strongmaster]

The plate is not forge welded to the top like it was traditionally done. Only the edges are welded so there's an air gap along the entire center. It looks good and will be a good working anvil, it isn't done properly and the face is prone to cracking in half now.

[@myrelics1]

Al aplanar las 2 caras perfectamente no existe espacio de aire entre las placas , quedo una pieza solida y resistente , no va a partir

[@666sledgehammer666]

sorry but strongmaster is correct - if your content with light forging it’ll be fine but if you start to put some force into your forging there’s a good chance that top will part ways with the body of the anvil

Great anvil restoration accomplished with fairly basic tools. However, aesthetic speaking, the brightly coated / modern manufactured chain and lag screws are dissonant chords that detract from the rest of the project. JS Some hand crafted chain as well as hand formed square head screws in the stump band, with some flat strap anvil tie downs would push this beauty over the top. 💪
