Mousehole forge in the UK was in operation from 1633 until 1933 and is a listed ancient monument! The Iron gates are still there, as are the remnants of wheel and forge buildings!

Scott, your very fortunate to have your buddy Sy. I too had a senior mentor, Carl, that was salt of the earth and full of knowledge. He lived his whole life on the shore of Puget Sound and like you guys we had common interests. He’s been gone for about ten years and I miss him. Watching you and Sy reminds me of my relationship with my friend. Enjoy him a Scott, soak up as much of him as you can and spend time with him. You won’t regret it. John

This channel is a recent discovery for me. So I've been playing catchup. It's been an absolute delight and makes me regret somewhat a career spent in an office. I suppose 70 is not too late to branch out in carpentry. But what a decent and thoughtful guide you are, Scott. My most heartfelt thanks for the many hours spent building with you!

Dear Scott. After visiting your youtube channel. I found an anvil. Well after learning about anvils I found out the one I purchased had a delaminated face. I was able to repair it and it works perfect now. It was great to se Cy explain the reason and the why an anvil needs rebound. You keep up the good work and keep the black smithing videos coming.

Richard Postman has a book called "Mousehole Forge" that records all the minutia about that area and the anvils that came out of that foundry. As it happens, I have one and it dates back nearly 200 years. Amazingly I got a signed copy of Richard's book, and it is marked 20/20. Which is cool because I ordered it in 2020 during the pandemic when I had time to research such things. Still one of my favorite items in my shop, that old anvil!

I'm glad you mentioned the safety of those who are unfamiliar with the shop or the working environment. With my son as he grew he worked with me and learned what he was old enough to be able to and to respect tools and the fact that if used not properly he could get hurt. As a teenager he started buying his own he had seen how my were marked and I made sure from the start he marked his. We have different skills we excel at and I encouraged him to pursue what he was good at.

Richard Postman also wrote a book titled, "Mousehole Forge" (sorry, there is no underline function on comments to properly denote a book) which describes the history of the Mousehole Forge. I highly recommend it, even if one does not own a Mousehole Forge anvil. My son bought me a copy of "Anvils in America" and Mr. Postman included a copy of "Mousehole Forge", both autographed (wow!)

If you can get past the first few minutes of the music on his KZfaq video, there is a guy who has a KZfaq channel of his own that is called " The other Finnish Guy" he's showing people how he fixes and anvil to have no more delamination. I would probably use the welding rod he's using on the Anvil but I would make sure that I would only weld stringers and let it cool off in between the weld stringers but do so across the whole surface of the Anvil. Then I would take the Anvil to a machine shop and have them machine the surface of the top of the Anvil down flat and then chamfer the edges of the anvil. Then bring the Anvil back to my shop if I had one and do the rest of the Heat Treating like he did in his video on his KZfaq channel. Anyways the title of the his video is " Anvil restoration & Fix- Straightening,welding, hardening- " it might be of interest to you so I thoughts I'd share my thoughts on what you mention about fixing your anvil. I hope that's a good bit of research to help you though your process as well. otherwise nice video you helping your friend out.

I would have at least stood that anvil up on its butt to do the welding it would have made it much easier than working upside down or fighting gravity on the tip.
@asdqwe4468 Жыл бұрын
I'd say blacksmithing is a rather young craft. It's certainly younger than working with stone or wood or leather. I'm not sure about ceramics. I'm no expert on this but I guess gold was the first metal people used. Anyway, all crafts are beautiful and have been important. Wouldn't elevate one over another. Some people might have a wrong understanding of other crafts and what it takes to do it. Today the usefulness of most crafts disappeared at least partly. But I think there's a lot of value in amateur craftsmen who carry on those skills that are basically not needed and certainly hard to pay for today.

Have you seen the welding tips and tricks video "chipping hammer hard facing secret"? He uses broken drill bits as filler rod and a TIG welder. Ever since I saw that video I've wondered about touching up anvils that way.

Knowing little to nothing about forging steel, when I saw "Mousehole Anvil" in the title I had visions of an anvil made to be hung over the entrance to an actual mouse-hole ready to be dropped on the mouse when it scurried out - watching Tom and Jerry cartoons as a kid surely has warped me ;)

You spend a lot of time telling people how to do things right but your use of the angle grinder is appalling to say the least, which is probably why your son almost lost his doo dads a few weeks back. What a really bad example of shop safety with your 1.2 mil subscribers. Flap disks aren't safe either. They will rip a chunk of skin right off your bones. Not a single one of those angle grinders has the side handle on it. Which is what's needed to maintain 2 points of contact. 2 points of contact is not the angle grinder body. 2 points of contact is angle grinder body and handle. I also don't see a single safety guard. Which is there for a reason. If you think your leather is enough to protect you from a fragmenting disk, then you're wrong. I very seldom see any of you youtubers practicing shop safety esp when it comes to angle grinders. What a lousy example being set for people who watch your videos and think you can do no wrong. And what a bad habit to pass on to those people who have never been in a shop but are starting up their own shop. Makes most of what you claim on your videos nothing but lies.
