It’d have been prefect if it had gone back on a good bit of lumber instead of a concrete base. Just my 2pence

I like that you used an engine hoist to pick up and move the anvil. Way to save your back and knees!

@@GeneralJoefish there are light anvils that weigh less than 20kg, which is the "safe max weight" for an adult to lift. I'd say it's either or when it comes to a solo workshop.

or you could get some straps to lift it like an old timer. and theyre still doing it at the age of 80 so...cant be that wrong. I picked up a 50kg benchshear, couldnt lift it of the ground, but with aid of one rope on my back and the thing got lifted like a feather. I was fine. back breaking is for idiots. work smart not unsmart

@@AndyFromBeaverton yes and no, old anvils are a bit of unknown when it comes to the steel used on the face, while there are many high quality old anvils you can aswell get new ones that are quality aswell, here in aus we have bsl which are cast from 1040 or 1050 i cannot remember which and nordic edge which are cast 6050 steel both are high quality anvils at a fraction of the cost of an old one

Passed the ball bearing test with flying colors, you can barely even measure how little force is lost! Really like the concrete base design and you did a damn fine job dressing up the working surfaces.. Nice job!

I had my doubts on the concrete but it seems to be a very clever low cost sokution. Id like to see an update video in a years time on how it is holding up. Perhaps a little more steel reinforcing for next time?

you can also use hardened glass marbles wish will bounce higher than steel ball bearings.

Damn you're lucky that this anvil had a deeply hardened face, usually we NEVER remove steel from the surface beacause the hardened layer is sometimes very shallow. But it looks good as new!

Looking at the chips that came off whilst machining I would guess that it is a Cast Iron anvil, so no hardening is needed.

I love a good anvil restoration. Using a mill to flatten the feet THEN flattening the top is brilliant and wondered why others don't do it more often. That stand is quite stout. At first I was what's he doing? Brilliant! I love it! That anvil turned out beautiful!

nice pitch and tone, no ringing, the sound falls flat and is absorbed into the base, which is overall great ergonomic height that's tailored to your own comfort, easy on the back and shoulders. All together a great package that you will enjoy for years to come. Good job indeed

I am always so impressed by individuals who have the talent and ability to bring back to life something that a lot of people would simply cast aside, beautiful job !

Absolutely love that anvil, you did a fantastic job bringing it back to life.

Awesome job and I love the steel and concrete pedestal, I'm gonna do the same for my anvil to replace the old wood log I have now.❤

Beautiful result. I expected you would hand scrape it, but the milling machine was a much better solution. I was concerned about the lack of "give" in a concrete stand over the original wood, but I suppose the material you added where the feet would rest would be spongy enough to compensate some.

@Jack Young No, less give means more hammering force is lost to the anvil and/or the base when you hit, instead of used to deform the part. You want your hammer bounce as much as possible when you hit the anvil without a part in between. That shows that only a very small amount of force is absorbed by the anvil/base. Because, when you swing the hammer with an X amount of force, you want less of that amount absorbed by the anvil/base and more of that amount absorbed by the part and the rest is recovered (bouncing the hammer back) if not used to deform the part. That way, most of the energy you spend with your swing is used for deformation and most of the energy that is not used for deformation helps you gain momentum enough to raise your swing to the starting height easier with less energy, hence the efficiency.

Very nice build, and an elegant solution to securing the anvil to the base. Well done!

You have a good instinct for editing. You know when a process should be shown, edited out, played at high speed, shown in slow motion. It’s so good.

Great job on a beautiful anvil!

Good Lord, this has got to be one of your best restoration videos. Was surprised when I saw the concrete; but after all was complete, the "bounce test" with ball bearing tossed my concerns out the window. Brilliant video as always! Wish you and yours the Happiest of Holidays. Thanks again for a fabulous video.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That base is Brilliant. So when you say pig iron I thought that was pretty soft but that anvil seems to have good ring and bounce and can obviously take a good hammering without denting and yet you were able to mill it flat, I'm impressed

I watch a lot of these anvil restorations and this is by far one of the best ones.

So satisfying to watch, great job, what a beauty with an ACE stand…… Have a great holiday, see you in 2023….👍

La mejor restauración que he visto hasta la fecha. Bravo!!

Yes sir very very nice work !! That Advil has a very nice ring and 27 inch ball bearing bounce is great !! Very nice smooth and flat surface and very nice stand as well !! 👍👍

Great work, absolutely loved it! Thanks for creating and sharing.

I just bought a 176kg Söderfors from 1916 today! Don't have a mill but I will do my best to restore it as nicely as you did with yours!

that thing is so beautiful I would be scared to put a scratch on it! absolutely stunning!

Awesome. I used sand in mine. It's nice seeing someone want to have a solid base with a solid mounted anvil. Lots of guys just nail them and the anvil rings like a bell and moves all over the place. 😆

Oh thank god! I saw you putting boards down and my eyes got huge…just super duper cement forms 🎉

The best work for the anvil. No vibration and its very heavy

That is absolutely beautiful. Excellent job on the restoration!

Wow... that turned out so much better than I expected.

You my friend are an amazing craftsman. Keep up the great work. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

What a great restoration of an awesome anvil! Job very well done as per usual! Thanks for sharing!

Hello and Well done!!! Superb restoration 👍 But this brings me a reflection that has matured for some time. I've been a subscriber to the channel for quite a long time and I have to admit that you've succeeded perfectly in everything you touch. Repair of machine tools, creation of tools, the forge, the cutlery, the foundry, I forget... and it becomes particularly annoying!!! 🤣🤣🤣. In fact, it shows me how bad I am and it's not easy to accept. Finally, it also shows my room for improvement. Let's see the positive side. See you soon in a new video which will be great as always. Sincerely. 👍👍👍

Just a beautiful restoration, thank you sir.

Absolutely stunning! Best wishes from the uk 🇬🇧 ❤

Almost seems a crime to hammer on such a beautifully restored anvil, but I suppose that's what they're for. Beautiful restoration.

What a fun job! Love the base. Cheers, brother.

Beautiful anvil. Nice job!!

Trued up and put back in service… That’s better than just a restoration! Hope you can figure out something cool to do with the original stand… Great video!

I like that I can never see where your creativity takes the restoration every time. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Great looking anvil! And knowing your channel, you’ll make good use of it! Cheers

Nice restoration. I am concerned over time that concrete will crack and chunks fall out without more rebar or reinforcement.

The stand…🤯 Nice job!

Smart of you to grind the feet first (less meat off that bone) - I often see videos of people leveling with shims, this just makes sense.

As someone who worked in a museum (not as a restaurateur) I will tell you this, this anvil was not restored (that is a wholly different procedure). However this anvil has been repaired and upgraded, which is as impressive to watch and admire as a restauration.

Nice Job My Friend!!

Beautiful work as always

Very well done. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful restoration mister good job well done

In the beginning i was like DUDE shouldn't you mill the feet first? And then you turned it upside down and all was well again. This was 100% the exact amount of excitement i needed today so thank you for that (:

Greeting from the italian alps. I have one of this anvil (porco). Was my grandpa anvil and back in the day (he passed away 10 years ago) he say to me that this anvils are full made of steel. There's not only a steel plate...

Awesome job. Fun project. 💚👽

Hello. My favorite section. Good video!

Very nicely done!

Awesome job mate! And a phenomenal rebound for the little money invested in the stand! I don't know if it's of any concern for you, but I found that a big chunky magnet gets rid of any ring the best... by far! :)

That turned out great excellent video awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother

Just tips from a machinist my friend. The end result was amazing. Good video.

Seems to work well, but I'd say that the concrete will dry fully & start to break apart under the hammer blows. Great job on milling it flat for a good working surface!

That will be there LONG after you are gone. Beautiful!

Concrete basement is a fine solution! I think I will make one for my anvil

That was truly beautiful and satisfying to watch.

No disregard to what you have done to the Anvil it's a superb job. But blacksmithing on it, hopefully you were only showing as an example. As for forging the bar one heat is totally possible 🙌

Beautiful work as always ! 12:10

That's not a stand.... THAT'S a stand! Nice work. I admit I was a little worried for your mill table but it looks like everything turned out OK in the end.
