- I’m back in the shop with a restoration of this rusty old anvil from my great-grandpa! I’m knocking the rust off, re-fabricating the anvil stand, redressing the face, and doing a few other things to get this thing back into good working condition!
This is my first video in a little bit, but I’m excited to put out a few videos I’ve filmed in the next few weeks!
Happy forging everyone!

Glad to see you back in action my friend. It looks like you have not lost a beat on the hammering. I see you are at almost 2k subscribers, way to go.........I can remember when I was something like number 34, LOL. Good luck in school, take care.
Thanks man! Hope you’re doing well too! And thanks for being there from the start haha
Very nice work. Hopefully you will get to enjoy the anvil for many more years ahead. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.

So happy to see a new video! I’m about to be getting into the hobby thanks to you! Just ordered my Mr Volcano. What’s your opinion on cheap anvils? I want the $150 Harbor Freight 65lbs Doyle one but my local store doesn’t have one. Do you think a cheaper cast iron one would be fine while I’m just getting started? Love the content!
I have a video review on the anvil review that I got for about $120 off Amazon that’s been great for me, here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/kbn5pEBwg9Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2haifJEGWJC-nJ88
That being said, I started on a cheap $30 anvil from harbor freight! A cast iron one works, but the durability just isn’t that good. I have a video coming out next week actually and the topic is going to be a basic recap of anvils, and what to look for when shopping for one as well! Looking at other channels reviews on anvils that you’re interested in is a great way to figure things out as well
@@ToddKoch I just watched that video shortly after posting this comment! Thanks for the reply! I look forward to seeing the new video!
@tiipsyx5556 awesome! Be sure to comment if you have any other questions and I’ll do my best to respond in a timely manner!
@@ToddKoch I don’t mean to overwhelm you with broad questions. But I just ordered my forge, anvil, and belt sander that you recommended. I don’t really know anything about what grit belts I would need. Which belts/grit would you recommend I buy right off the bat to get started? I’m mainly wanting to make knives and my own tools like in your tutorials.
@tiipsyx5556 the grits I like to use are 24 grit for heavy grinding/stock removal, 60 and 120 for regular grinding and shape up, and then a 220 for sharpening and some polish/finish work. I’d order a few different belts that are either those grits or in that range to see what you like to work with! It’s better to finish on a higher grit because it makes the finish easier/takes time off your hand sanding
