DIY Railroad Track Anvil

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This anvil can be made from a piece of railroad track with pretty much only one tool: the angle grinder! :) I won't lie, it has been a hell of a work to shape it. I must have underestimated this project a bit... Still came out looking great imo! Let me know what you think :)

    I just got a 4 footer FREE for the asking from RR workers at a crossing. At first they were hesitant - "not my department" , but the rail was marked orange for removal and it was around 4PM on a Sunday. Great inspiring video . . . I'm just gonna do a horn on one end.

    Just a tip I learned from a guy who was a rail worker for 37 years, if you cut from the bottom to the start of the cap of the rail, you can stick a large chisel in and it will break clean off, and I mean it gives a very straight shear line if done right. That way you can avoid cutting through that hardened cap section.

    That's interesting! So is the cap hardened? I thought so, but then I drilled through so easily I doubt :') If I'll ever find a big chisel for cheap I'll try! Thank you for sharing :)

    This suggests that the horn can be roughed in without cutting clean through the cap i.e. score the underside, then chisel two wedges away, then dress. Correct? Would extreme cooling of the cap -- say, with dry ice or liquid nitrogen -- ease the process or ensure a cleaner shearing plane?

One of your videos popped up randomly on my recommended feed a few months ago and I was extremely intrigued! I don't personally do Smith work, but it is very interesting to me. The way you deliver your content is perfect! The music, the detail, the appropriate times to fast forward... everything is spot on.

    To anyone considering doing this: I did this a couple months ago. The end result is nice but, it takes forever to cut these... I have a gas powered saw, one of those big ones that cut steel, and concrete. And it still took some time to cut through it. I tried with a standard grinder but i was eating through cutting disks! So I tried a big grinder like his... It was better , but still not enough. I didnt feel like spending all day cutting my piece of track. So thats when I used the big saw to do straight cuts. Trust me, it looks easy.

    If you cut through only the top. Turn it over with one end propped up, hit it with a sledge hammer. Two hard strikes and it will break. A grinding wheel will clean up the break in minutes. Sounds crazy but it works. Saves several cutting disc.

    I learned from This Old Tony that you can cut it by scribing a line around the cut mark, adding a few drops of water, and then spraying it with WD40. It works because water can't be compressed, and WD40 is a water displacing agent.
