No milling machines no special equipment, just few simple tools in my hands and Ton of work. Here is the most easy way to make your own quality anvil. Hope you enjoy the video, don't forget to press Subscribe and Like.

This video is a testament to the power of the simple angle grinder. If you wanna get into knife making, it's one of if not the best tool you can have. Grinding belts are expensive and homemade ones joined with flex tape work but aren't ideal. A lot safer though. I'm fortunate to have a lot of access to oxy and a cutting torch so I don't have to spend hours hogging out material, but I really appreciate the initiative. Railroad track is usually made of low carbon and (relatively) high manganese content for easy continuous casting and hot rolling. The surface of used track is usually work hardened because of the manganese, but you seem to have ground off the hardened case. I can't tell exactly what you're working with but it wouldn't hurt to forge weld a piece of leaf spring steel to the work surface. In this case, forge welding is easier than stick welding. Forge them together and let them anneal in the forge overnight. Heat them back to austenizing temp and quench in oil then temper to light blue. A blue spring temper is really all you need.

I respect your effort mate.I restore only a rusty hammer and I know how hard it was to make it shine.Golden hands you have .Be blessed .

Beautiful work mate, to nice to use! I bet your neighbours just loved the sound of that angle grinder, not to mention the cost of discs! Great job just the same.

I like that you polished the striking surfaces, and painted the support. Looks really good, and that's a perfect size for the average person working in their garage. Very useful item you made.

You should market this as an award for railroad companies to buy. This craftsmanship is amazing! You REALLY do have something here. Take that idea and run with it!

Amazing tools that can cut and shape such a heavy and thick iron track. But the biggest applause goes to the person doing this job so perfectly!! He is a superb craftsman!! Hats off to his skill !!

Appreciate you showing how you did this using one basic angle grinder (WITH the guard on the whole time), and some files. It may have taken a while but most railroad track anvil videos you find feature massive angle grinders, milling machines, and fancy metal bandsaws. Since I possess none of these items, I had resigned myself to my piece of railroad track just remaining in its railroad track-form and forging on that, but you have inspired me to take a stab at reshaping it into a better anvil!

That looked like it wasn't easy,as you stated in the beginning. However, that little anvil turned out beautiful. Most definitely a labor of love. Appreciate you posting this video. Excellent transformation! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

One of the most amazing pieces of railroad track, a piece that does not rust at the ends.

Approximately how many cutting wheels did you use for this project?

I need that! I used to use a piece of train track in the past, it’s fairly useful but this looks to nice to use. Good job

Like most master crafsmen, you make this look easy, but we all know just what an enormous task this must have been. Well done.

Maravilhoso ! Não dá coragem de usar . Serve como peça decorativa . Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho . São Carlos -SP , BRASIL.

I did this very thing last year and made an anvil. The hardest part of making it was drilling out the hole for the Hardy hole. It was a lot of fun!

Watched this video start to finish with absolute amazement! The level of skill and craftsmanship this dude possesses is off the friggin scale!

Phenomenal work, my man. Goes to show what the versatility of an angle grinder, and a lot of elbow grease can do. Thumb'd & subbed.

I've had this yard long piece of rail now for a few years, you just pushed me over the edge mate. Thanks!

This illustrate nicely how valuable an angle grinder such as used here can be in every homework shop. It has many uses that you are always finding for it..

Wow, what a work of art. I don't think I would even use that for blacksmithing. I would just display it in my shop. That is allot of skill you carry in your hands.

Just a gorgeous result! Fantastic work.

I made a RR track anvil couple years ago. Most used anvil in shop. The sharp pointed horn is so useful. Shame nearly all antiques have blunted horns, but I understand why. They break off, then you round the end. Some blunted the tip before it breaks off.

That's absolutely incredible. You have something that you should always be proud of.

that anvil looks so nice, i don't think anyone would metalwork in that 😂

Доброго здоровья мастер! Восхитительное упорство, целеустремлённость, трудолюбие и мастерство! Всех Вам БЛАГ!👍👍👍

This very amazing Anvil 🤩your hard work pays off this rusty railroad that you turn into an amazing Anvil 👍👍👍

An absolute work of art! Beautiful!

WOW. Absolutely fascinating! Beautiful work with a few hand tools. Now, that's talent! I can only wonder what this handmade anvil would be worth.

This tiny anvil is so cute! Can't wait to see you use it in your next videos...

I think it’s really good that you do this stuff because people think it’s to hard but when I watch your videos I realise that I’m just using the wrong technique keep up the good work

The hardest part about doing this is keeping the top flat. Its extremely easy to dish out the top or create a hump. You did a good job keeping it flat!

A lot of hard work and obvious creativity. Beautiful end result. Bravo!

This is the best creative and forging perfect channel that i ever watch , with no dialogues , no special machine , only a guy with many full free time can do this

Dam dude, your a beast!!! What an awesome job u did, the craftsmanship is beautiful, u are a great artist and I enjoyed watching the process of this!!! Thx! Keep making cool stuff and I'll keep watching!!👍👍👍

Wow! That's an absolutely beautiful Anvil! That's like a piece of Artwork in itself, in addition to being a really useful metalworking tool. Great video - Nicely Done!

Very nice!! A lot of hard work a ten minute video can't portray properly. You are a craftsman, a rare breed nowadays.

Wow, very nice job, thanks

Very nice! Your patience with the hacksaw is amazing.

That is art, thank you for sharing!

Really nice job, more like a piece of art than an implement.

Love the sound that rings off of that type of steal.

Stunning I'd display it differently a talking point brilliant and top quality from a very talented person 🇬🇧 uk

Unbelievable!!!! The human determination is truly a remarkable thing!

This might be my favorite one from your channel

Just came across your video And I must say that anvil is a beautiful piece of Art.! My hats off to you. Just beautiful

Looks so modernized and gorgeous

This is a massive effort, beautifully overworked where with a whole lot less effort on finish it would still serve the same pracitcal purpose as an anvil. Visually satisfying result

That anvelt looks so nice and polished that I would not even use it . I would just leave it as decoration 👍🏻🩷

A man whose ability to transcend numb hands and aching forearms has produced a work of art.

Absolutely brilliant piece of workmanship, really interesting video. Unfortunately here in the UK a piece of railway track large enough to make an an anvil is prohibitively expensive. Loved the video.

Great job. I just picked up one of those rails. This give me something to shoot for.

AMAZING PATIENCE, AND A FANTASTIC RESULT. WOULD,NT HAVE THOUGHT IT POSSIBLE.

Nagyon szép munka! Én sajnálnák dolgozni rajta! Ezt a darabot ki kellene múzeumban állítani! Gratulálok!

This guy is great. I might try blacksmithing sometine

Very nice. That's definitely what you call a labor of love; emphasis on the labor!

amazing job of patience! Great one!

Al that work making it look beautiful and you couldn't be bothered to get all the rust off before panting it!

I think my angle grinder would die on me during a build like this and I would go through dozens of disks

Good working keep it up thanks for sharing your experience Long live happy with your family and friends

The anvil looks great!

A hand hacksaw on a railroad tie is the antithesis of fun.

Gorgeous. Watching this made me miss my uncle and hanging out in his workshop as a little girl so much. Everything in me wanted to call and ask him to make me one.

Awesome work and a beautiful outcome. What I want to know is, how many grinding discs did you end up going through😂

That was amazing craftsmanship end result is a beautiful anvil never saw one that nice. Thanks for sharing

Very nice job well done, This is what I like to see stuff made like this with no milling machines and the like, I for one do not have that type of equipment in my workshop well done again.

You made an old piece of railroad track into an Anvil piece of art. I wouldn't want to hammer anything on it. I'd rather display it. Nice craftsmanship.

Its 2.30 in the morning and I am watching this ?? Oh Boy !

How many hours did it take to complete this anvil? It’s beautiful! Thanks

Outstanding work!! … I would never have the time to get this done… Much less have it appear anywhere near as nice as your anvil… You should build more and sell them!

Beautiful, gorgeous, even artistic work. So beautiful that It would deserve a heat treatment on the next episode.

How lucky to find a freshly cut piece of rail track in a pile of old steel! ;-)

5:41 Aaaw a cute little mouse 🐭🐁🥰😍

Beautiful job, a true craftsman you are. Thank You

Excelente muito bom gostei demais !

The most beautiful piece of metal i've ever seen

great skills there, well done. it certainly is a beauty

a work of art in itself, beautiful👌👍

Excellent workmanship!

Utterly gorgeous ....thank you

That turned out beautiful, but that is a lot of work to create such a masterpiece.. thx for bringing us along... Take care my friend and God Bless you and your family...

Looks great. For not using and milling machines or torches nice. I know I would have ditched the grinder about 5 minutes into the project switch to cutting torch or plasma cutter. Then milled the top.

Wow! That's too pretty to actually beat on. It's more of a show piece. Nice job.

Fantastic job, Anvil looks amazing and great polished finish. Thanks for sharing.

Przepiękne jest to z tory kolejowej kowadło zrobione pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍

It's a beautiful piece of work... Well done.

Fantastic result well done

Very Nice..!! I always want to make anvil from railroad track but didn't have time yet..

Really nice work. Great profile too.

Congratulations. You were persistent and you certainly went to great lengths to arrive at this perfect anvil. Better than the ones available to buy.

Ihre Geduld ist beneidenswert. Sehr schön ist es geworden, in die Vitrine damit, nicht in die Werkstatt. Wieviel Trennscheiben haben Sie verbraucht? Gratuliere!

Brilliantly done!

Fanstastic work 👏👌 thanks my friend👍👍

great... 9" grinder would probably make it cheaper and faster... looks amazing excellent job

予め置いてあったかの様に断面が綺麗ですね

Just the sight of you sawing the rail with a hacksaw made my hands feel sick, the steel in the rails is extremely strong, I can’t even imagine how much effort you spent on it 4:05-4:20

Wow that is amazingly awesome beautiful work 👏 perfection .

That looks awesome, and what a transformation ❤️🇬🇧😊

Amazing Anvil!!! good job

Extremely beautiful

Sensacional guerreiro!! 🤔😃👍👏👏
