Quieting the ring on a noisy anvil and mounting to a base
The anvils ring can have a nostalgic quality to it. But a noisy anvil can also be miserable to work around. Today I re mount my anvil to its base in hope of quieting my loud anvil.Quiet that anvil, you'll have a more peaceful time in the shop

The magnets work because as the anvil vibrates, the magnet has to accelerate towards the anvil since it isn't physically bonded, this lag is out of phase with the vibration so it has the effect of dampening it.

@@BlackBearForge Do you happen to be familiar with sand underground for anvil or a sheet (2-3 mm, guess that's about 1/10 inch thick) of lead between the block and the anvil to reduce clinging noise? Anyhow mounting it on silicone seems to work awesome too, and with the extra metal clamps it will probably hold.
for the past week this has been in my recommendations and i don’t regret watching this now lol
Thanks, now I can put Mending to my stuff without waking up my neighbors.
put the chains back on just for the aesthetics always looked cool. but still leave your clamps on they worked well
working with your hands is one way to truly enjoy your life

Whoa, that worked way better than I would have expected. Damn, the difference is amazing. The anvil is practically silent compared to the ring it had before!

Growing up the grandfather's were still alive & well. I would be included in any trip to another tradesman's shop. I clearly remember grandda giving any anvil he walked by a firm but gentle slap to listen to the bell ring. Although the opportunity is not very common; I walk in their shoes and will give an anvil a spank. It surprises me how many people who own an anvil don't know about the bell inside of it. Thank you for allowing us to visit with you at your shop.
Before I watched the video: Okay, KZread, I'll watch it. After I watched the video: Huh, that anvil was pretty noisy. Neat.
This was in my recommended box because I watched a music video with the band Anvil, and I don't regret clicking on it. You're doing good work, algorithm.
Wanted to do this to mine for ages but I think this sealed the deal. Also posted on my birthday so it’s a sign
This man really made a suppressor for an anvil
Awesome video as a mechanic I had a hard time watching you manually wrench without grabbing a cordless impact but slow and steady always wins
My Grandpas anvil was mounted on leather to a tree stump buried in his shop floor. He had home made U clamps at angles that crisscrossed and fit into notches in the stump. It had a dull thumpy ring to it but didn't hurt your ears even after hours of use. Good vid, try the leather
I liked this video, not only on KZread but also personally.
Nil, watching blacksmiths who just enjoy what they do really makes me want to join that career as an apprentice and help them out
hey mate i wanted to say thank you so much i spent 3 weeks straight trying to change my mic and audio to stop the shattering anvil ring. it never ever occurred to me to fix (or that you even could) fix the anvil. thank you so so so much

Wow, what a great video! You explain things clearly and to the point. I must also say you are an excellent teacher. What a difference your anvil quieting project made. I watched 2 other of your videos before this one (your most popular one) Subscribed! Thumbs up! 👍🏼 PS I've been looking for a quality anvil for a while now, the large Peter Wright anvils are my favorite and it seems are the most rare & expensive.
I miss blacksmithing... As a child i was often at my godfather. He is art smith and makes realy cool things out of metal. Most of the time i made small items such as nails or small animals (a snail is realy easy, great for beginners). There was a history festival one time while i was visiting him and we where showing kids how small and easy things are made (again small animals, small metal smiley for the key and such things). That was great because that was exactly what i used to make and i had a great time while making everyone exactly what they wanted :D Good old times... I wish there where a bigger market for blacksmithing here in germany. I would love to work as one but you cant life from what you get paid because not many people want something handmade anymore. I like this channel, i will stay a while and listen ;)

Hi John! I just wanted to tell you how much this video helped me! I just started blacksmithing a short time ago and have a small piece of railroad track for an anvil. The first time I struck it, the sound was so loud, high pitched, and piercing that dogs 2 blocks away started barking. It was absolutely not going to work. But, a little silicone and strapped it down tight with some pipe strap and now it sings much more beautifully. Thanks for the video! It really helped.

Hey Black bear. Use leather friend. It helps drastically and also looks good. Best place to wrap it would be around the neck of the anvil. Also, the ring helps with metal working anyhow. Take care and keep up the craft. Hopefully you can pass your craft off to a grand kid or child. These are crafts that need to always exist. I personally have been working with extracting iron from what most would just a call a rock. Cool stuff.
The difference is incredible!
I've found that a sheet of lead (1/8" thick)underneath the anvil works well. Regards, Matthew
When your welding magnets get completely wrecked with that iron dust, a lit oxy acetylene torch works well. Hammer the oxygen thumb valve wide open like you are about to start cutting. It blows and burns the fuzz right off the magnets without heating them up too badly at all. Old millwright trick.

I like your style!! I did nothing more than to make clamps to secure my hay budden to the block. It is solid and quiet. Other anvils have a rubber mat or chain wrapped waist with forged nails to secure in place. The clamps perform best. They serve to hold secure and quiets the ring to a thwack!
This was a terrific video, enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for posting!

Brilliant solution! Fuzzy magnets. That was funny. Who doesn't like fuzzy magnets? They provide a quality substitute until you get a dog for the shop. :-) Thank you for sharing your vast experience at forging.

Nice job mate. Now I know what to do when I set up. Thanks for that.
You seem so nice and wholesome, I'm subscribing
In my world, it’s called damping the resonance of the mass. The silicone pad you created along with the bolts transmitting energy to the wood block is what did it.
Thank you Ron Swanson!
Great tips, thanks! However, a helping hand moving that anvil is sorely needed. Life's too short to risk injury, and it would've been much easier.
