Turning a Rusty RAILROAD Track into an ANVIL

Ғылым және технология

Since I lost my old Anvil, I decide to make another one out of rusted Railroad track. It was not easy to make such perfect Anvil only with common tools. I put all my skills and desire to make this beautiful Anvil.

    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.

    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!

    Just a heads up for anyone watching you actually get a more practical railroad track anvil by mounting it in its end. You want as much solid iron or steel as possible directly underneath your hammer the orientation shown in this video will feel springy and make you work a lot harder to get the same amount of work done.
