  • A brief look into how anvils used to be forged and forge welded by the build-up method.
    The anvils pattern is a Southern German pattern with dubble feet and features a supported breast with upsetting block.
    Forged together with Jeroen Smit at his workshop.

    The forge welding of several pieces of metal together is just a miracle, it's very interesting to see the anvil being assembled and formed from these pieces.

    So glad to see you back Joey! You are one of the main reasons I wanted to get to know forge welding so well. You are the welding pro and you were always open and honest with mistakes so we could all learn. I loved your videos

    I had no idea. I thought the base was cast, and then the face was forge welded on. I never thought you could just build it up in chunks. Super cool video, thanks.

    • @autumn5592
      @autumn5592 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Anvils have been made every which way;
      Cast, forged from one piece, forge welded from steel chunks, cast base and steel top.
      It is what was easiest to produce to yield the best product for any given place.

    AMAZING, can you imagine the trial and error throughout the ages it took blacksmiths to finally perfect this process, and take note of the trust and confidence both smiths have for one another as they pound with hammers in synchronicity. An absolutely beautiful craft, filled with lessons for every aspect of life Thank you poster.

    @itatane ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Very interesting, sir. I'd no idea how it was done until I saw this. It also demonstrates how critical timing can be, not just with the temperature and working time. It can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing for two tools to come in contact while aiming for the same spot... (I'm terrible, I know.)

    I’ve seen countless examples of forge Welding in just as many TH-cam videos, and all of them great no doubt.
    Especially for someone like me who doesn’t know.
    But this video, and the close ups, have got to be THE BEST examples yet.
    There’s a couple of scenes in this video where you can literally see the metal is juuuusst below molten and when the 2nd workpiece is added you can literally watch the two pieces flow together as they’re worked.
    The best example hands down.
    There is one other video of a knife maker forge welding “Damascus” and in one of the scenes in that video you can see the metal “run” when it’s pressed together, but it’s literally a split second long.
    In this video you can see it, it’s a much longer cleaner example, and then there are several more.
