- 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

Never had an interest in smithing.... EVER.
But for some reason. I have to watch the whole thing. I need to witness this man defeat the noisy anvil.

Lol it sounds the same
I not even a blacksmith this was on my recommend. Very educational.
It was also on my recommend.
Mads Larsen Same here. Been watching wood turning and 3D printing videos.
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.
isn't it crazy how magnets work?
@@ototo4508 its magic
Thanks dad.

SCIENCE!
Honestly you are the Bob Ross of blacksmithing! I realy enjoy wathcing you work!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Next we'll be forging happy little clouds, or something like that
Happy little scroll
Maybe he should say something like "And remember my friends, Anvils are our friends" at then end of each video!
That is funny and true Hartsock Thompson
@@BlackBearForge
That's a good one
I bet you just clamped it down because you were worried that someone might pick the anvil up and run away with it.
Yep, last week I walked away with two ( one in each arm). Really easy, will do again.

Excellent way to lock down an anvil! What you did would be considered "tornado-proofing" your anvil here in Mississippi. Th' shop might be gone, but the anvil didn't budge.
Reminds me of one of the smiths north of here after flooding a few years ago. A friend was helping to clean up scooping mud out with a skid loader. The loader came to an abrupt stop, he had found the 400 pound anvil.
Haha!!
Black Bear Forge is
You must have a lot of XP to use the anvil that much
Thanks man, 10/10
You must have worked sooooo hard on that joke i haven’t seen the exact same thing 3 times already at alll
I thought, "Yeah yeah… Chains and magnets…" But I clicked to watch anyway. I'm blown away by the results.
It came out better than I hoped, so I'm happy
@@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.
Looks like you have a nicely appointed shop. A much simpler way to "deaden" an anvil is to attach a ring (2- 3") to a spring from a "bangety bang" screen door, and attach the other end of the spring, to the base of the anvil block. Then just slip the ring over the horn of the anvil. If you need to use the horn for a particular operation, then just slide off the ring. This kept my anvil quiet for more than 20 years.
put the chains back on just for the aesthetics always looked cool. but still leave your clamps on they worked well
I love seeing people who make videos about there hobbies/jobs that are really cool like black smithing
I know nothing about smacking metal into things but somehow, youtube told me I needed to watch this. And in no way am I complaining.
I don’t know why this was recommended... or why I watched the entire thing... but i found it really entertaining
1.15 minecraft update looking good 😤😤
There is no way that I thought you could tone that anvil down to that extent. Very impressive results and solution.
for the past week this has been in my recommendations and i don’t regret watching this now lol
Thank you Ron Swanson!

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.
I'm glad it helped out. Keep forging
working with your hands is
one way to truly enjoy your life
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.
Thanks, now I can put Mending to my stuff without waking up my neighbors.
I remember my grandfather using a piece of strop leather under his anvil. It seemed real effective. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Dudes legit as hell reminds me of ron Swanson
The actor of Ron Swanson reminds me of Ron Swanson
Nick offermen if I spelled it right. It’s the voice similarity
Awesome ! My anvil rings my hearing aids so much that I have to cut them off when using it - this system you developed should be the perfect answer to my problem . THANKS !!!
I think the ears appreciate that little trick quieting the Anvil. Looks lots cleaner than the chains. That will be on my to do list. Thanks John.
The difference is incredible!
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
It is amazing how much louder an anvil sounds on camera than it seems to in person
Black Bear Forge that is very very true
@@greywolf0 you're a blacksmith and a gamer? Why arent you making more videos?!?
@@AnonOmis1000 some people describe my voice as frog like shrill and my face as a bad face to beard ratio. I do have the best windows media player trasitions money didnt buy tho. People love them dont they?
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.
I don’t have an anvil I don’t do blacksmithing but I still watched all 20 minutes of this video and finally happy with a TH-cam suggestion video 👌🏽
Enjoyed that. Just bought my first anvil at 54 off a retired craftsman. It came on a big solid oak block of wood. I noticed that was bolted down onto the wood with plasticine underneath it. Now I know why. The anvil is pretty quiet tbh. It obviously works.
I don’t anything about blacksmithing or anvils, but for some reason I found this really interesting
I love the comments of people saying things about how they need to do this to their anvil! Almost as if it's something everyone has in their home
Anvils make good pets. They are very clean and never bark at the mailman.
"One method is just to wrap chains around them"
Exactly what I do when my gf gets noisy too.
As a longtime 'maker' and 'handy' type, but blacksmithing noob, I always learn so many additional little tricks from your videos, like for example those simple but cool custom-made clamps, and your general overall 'approach'... plus you're also a great teacher, thx!
Thank you
I don’t even have an anvil but I subbed...
He’s so calming to listen to
Great video, I really like the anchoring system ... 100% improvement. I am going to use that system on my 200 pounder.
Thanks
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
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 ;)
I watched a demonstration of a blacksmith making a nail. I really appreciated the ease that we can get a nail today.
That worked incredibly well.
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
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!
Now i can go on a steath mission with my stealfy anvil.
Mission impossible music starts to play
this will be real handy next week. just purchased an anvil and she needs some damping.
"Make an improvement in your shop" -- what a great piece of advice, and something I actually did today. Thanks for another useful video.
I'll be doing this today. Thank you
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!
The sound of the anvil is a big part of what makes blacksmithing cool.
and a big part of why so many blacksmiths are deaf
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
I re-watch this video over few months just because the change in the ring is so drastic. 12/10 good job.
Never thought I'd find such a relatively basic project to be so fascinating, but those 20 minutes went by *real* fast
Thanks for sharing! I have an anvil I an wanting to mount and watching your videos I have learned a lot!
A clean, tidy and well executed solution that worked incredibly well!
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.
Before I watched the video: Okay, TH-cam, I'll watch it.
After I watched the video: Huh, that anvil was pretty noisy. Neat.
Nil, watching blacksmiths who just enjoy what they do really makes me want to join that career as an apprentice and help them out
WoW! John, That really did the trick. I built a stand for my new to me 300lb Henery Wright last week and set it on a piece of belting. It helped but your clamp system is next. Thanks
Just used your mounting method for my new anvil , the silicone hasn’t dried yet but I can already tell it’s dead as a doornail! Thanks!
Anvil are slightly angled 0.0.01* degree
Blacksmith: I sense the disturbance in the FORCE...
That was a great improvement
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)

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 liked this video, not only on TH-cam but also personally.
Wow!! Huge difference, John. I am so stealing this. Thanks!
Thank you Ron Swanson.
Asphalt roofing shingles work really well to quite and level the anvil.
Thumbs up for the dramatic improvement. I have some magnets on my anvil to keep it from ringing. But sometimes those magnets do funny things to what I'm working on. Which is annoying.
Did I just watch 20 Mins of a Man fixing his anvil to be quieter
Yes I did
Yes I did
Beautifully done.
I've found that a sheet of lead (1/8" thick)underneath the anvil works well. Regards, Matthew
Thank you for this. I finally got around to doing some of this and it made a world of a difference my neighbors are probably just as grateful for you than I am now. ❤
And I thought anvils were only made to fall on Wily Coyote

Show me
Very wholesome i have never watched blacksmithing on this profile but yt still recommended, not disappointed
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.
Thanks
Thank you for explaining how to get Mt anvil quiet. It's about a 180 pounder. Curved horn, with a hardy and Pritchett. I think my grand father bought it around 1914.
thumbs up for you john! another instructive video. I will do the same thing as soon as I can get a real anvil. I got a notebook to take note and wear my safety glasses! lol
hello from Belgium
Someone really does listen 😉
well done John, it still looks good... i put conveyor belt as footing instead of silicone... also works well...
My 308lb Soderfors rings loud I'm using a big tow chain and it helps a lot. That's the same way i put mine on the stump with a 2x8 ramp. I think I'm going to mount mine this way. Great idea.👍
I also have a Söderfors, 434lb made in 1907 from cast steel, it rings like a church bell :)
Very successful way to Reducing the.noise of anvil thank you.nice job
There are thin sheets of elastomer vibration damping material available. Some have adhesive on one side. These sheets are very thin, and don’t look like they will do much, but they do. They’re also cheap. The aluminum 2 x 4 foot version from McMasterCarr, is about $30. I haven’t tried it on an anvil, but putting it on the bottom surfaces of the horn and rear, could help a lot.
Top info. I have the same problem. Thank you very much.
