This Is a very good video I need to do repair on a 120 lbs anvil. I would like to learn more before doing the repair on my anvil. Thank You Daniel awesome videos as always.
Worth noting if you have tig capability you can use just about anything as a rod, ie, if the die is made from 1080 use some 1080 rod, that way you can match the parent metal like for like, can also hard face things then with any tool steel you have laying around, old drill bits works nice 🙂
tip for preheat for welding. soot the part to be heated with an acetylene flame only. Then add oxygen to your flame to produce a neutral flame. when the soot burns off a 200 degree Fahrenheit preheat has been achieved.
Giggle 🤭 You said 350😃 #Dansajerk 🤣🤣 timely video. I am going to need that soon. Thanks brother! you know I'll be hitting you up soon for tips on dies. *I did giggle you know me lmao
I think the hardface rods will probably hold up, for my home made Anvil I did as you mentioned, used a gp rod but I used a stainless rod for the top layer designed for welding dissimilar metals, the specs on the box mentioned die repairs, I've also been told that low hydrogen rods will give a harder surface but I've not had the chance to try it out yet
Great job, dude! Looks like it’s going to hold up fairly well! You should prolly do the anvil video. It would probably get a TON of views! Also, “Way to go Elliot!” 😜
I also have a Peter Wright that is in need of repairs. I have some 7018 and 9018 LH rod, what is your thoughts on using this without a cover of hard facing 🤔 Yes, put me down for the anvil repair video 👍
I, unfortunately, was weight hungry and got a 156lb anvil but ut has a decent sweep to it and a lot of cut marks in it. Would I beable to weld it with the hard facing rods and ground flat. There is prolably less than a half-inch of the sweep.
I have an old Peter Wright, 134#, that has a dead spot at one corner of the heel. I'm assuming to repair it I'll have to cut out the corner portion, lay down a base weld and cover it with the hard surfaceing rod. Any thoughts, suggestions? I've also read to just leave it alone and use as is.
I'm curious how you would use hardfacing rods for an anvil repair but keep your temper. I have a couple fairly beat up anvils but have been too scared to loose temper by doing hardfacing edge repairs.
Research the "Gunter Method of Anvil Repair". It's been used on thousands of anvils without any worry. If my anvil was really beat up, I'd opt to simply coat the whole face rather than try spot welding. That way you know you have a uniform thickness and strength.

Dan, please do show us a hard-facing repair of an "Blacksmith's" anvil like the one you have that needs repair. Even if you don't get 1K thumbs-up!
@ 5:24, glad I'm not the only one, haha.
Hope you'll do a vid on fixing up the anvil even if this didn't hit 1K.
Would absolutely love to see a repair on your main anvil !
I'm looking forward to the anvil repair video. I added my like.
Would love to see you repair an anvil
No problem Dan

Would like to see the anvil repair. I found a peter Wright that needs some wrok
We put hard cap on natural gas pipelines, excellent video👍✌
I gave you 20 👍, but nothing changed! Gave you one more and it did. I tried.

Hope you do get the thousand likes, I have an anvil that needs some welding repair! Been a while Dan, or have I just missed them?

My old twin track anvil is welded with 7018 low i's and has held up surprisingly well 👍
Half way there. Share share share!

Great info, look forward to seeing an anvil repair.
Hey Dan I've laid down the hammer for a while I'm doing some learning to improve and to further my blacksmithing it's Gordon.
Well that was a fun little trip. Thanks for the video Dan. I look forward to the next one👍👍
Sounds like you were experiencing arc blow at the end of a welding rod on d/c it happens when the welding rod heats up the arc wanders all over

Looks like me trying to stick weld, go 1/8" and stuck, 1)4", stuck again, lol, we need alot more practice 😛😁
Awsome

hey Daniel, can you update us on what's going on with the channel? I really enjoy your content. Did you stop doing the youtube thing?
I would use it but entire back half of my little anvil separated . When I bought it nowhere to be found .

Can you use the HV 600 and temper them back to improve the toughness?
i have no idea ill look into it.
My anvil is really tired with depressions up to 5mm deep. Any advice on hard-facing with a MIG welder?
where are the 👀 on the hammer
Well, first up so far. only 999 to go
Did he ever make a anvil repair video 🤔
