Do-it-yourself double-sided rail anvil

Hello to you, dear the inhabitants of our site and readers!
This article will be interesting to all masters who have their own workshop. In general, everyone who often has to use an anvil. So, Steve Tsw, the author of the PatonHaus YouTube channel, will show you how to make a convenient anvil from cutting rails, plywood and screws.

Materials
- Pruned rails
- plywood sheet
- Joiner's glue or PVA
- Wood screws
- Bolts with nuts and washers
- Two studs
- A piece of steel strip
- Two handles - lamb
- Oil for wood impregnation, primer.

Instruments, used by the author.
- A circular saw
- Miter saw
- Drilling machine, screwdriver
- Neiler (he's a nail gun)
- Forstner drills
- milling cutter
- Orbital sander
- Hacksaw
- Band-saw
- Welding machine
- tape measure, pencil
- clamps
- Spanners
- Sandpaper.

Manufacturing process.
So, as usual, to begin with, the author begins his work with markup. In this case, he marks the future template from a piece of plywood. Moreover, he marks on one template both sides of the rail profile.



Using a band saw, cuts out unnecessary parts of the stencil for marking.






Then it checks the tightness of the template on the rail on both sides.





Having set the emphasis of the circular saw to the desired distance, it loosens the plywood sheet into strips.



Then, along the width of the template, cuts strips into identical rectangular blanks.


Next, it marks each of the blanks according to the template.


Using a screwdriver with a Forstner drill, cuts 3 holes in the workpieces.


Now, in each piece of plywood, cuts a "profile" on a band saw.



Then it combines the workpiece with the template, fixes it with nails using a neiler.



Turns the resulting "sandwich" pattern down. Cuts unnecessary with a milling cutter using a straight cutter with a thrust bearing.




Then, having milled all the blanks, it cleans the milled edges with sandpaper.



He puts on all the blanks on the rail, checks the edges.

On the miter saw cuts off the edges of the workpieces, making them more convenient in shape.


Coats the first workpiece with glue, puts the next one, fixes with a neiler. Then it enhances the connection with self-tapping screws. Repeats until complete assembly along the length of the rails.





Here is a cake Napoleon turned out. Steve clamps it with clamps and waits for the glue to dry.



Processes the inside with sandpaper, putting it on a piece of round timber.



Everything fits tightly on both sides of the rails.


But bumps on the edges, of course, are. After all, it is very difficult to perfectly repeat each blank.

Steve solves the alignment problem in a very original way. To begin with, he fixes the workpiece between two bars using long clamps. It turns out something like a frame.



And here is an unexpected moment. The author seems to have no milling table or jointer. But it is not important. It aligns the edges of the anvil base with a circular saw. Yes, like on a milling table.


It turned out to be very good to even all sides.


Grinds faces using an orbital machine.




Now you need to create a pressure plate. Cuts parts of the workpiece from a steel strip with a band saw.


Welds parts, aligns the edges on the grinder.





Drills holes in steel billets.



In accordance with the holes of the plates - it also drills in the base.


The first plate is clamped with screws on one side of the base.



On the other hand, twists two studs.





It impregnates the surface of the base with a primer.



After the protective coating dries, it installs the rail in its place.


Puts the pressure plate on the studs, and clamps the lamb.


Everything, the tool is ready!




Now you can use it for its intended purpose.



Thanks to the author for the original idea of ​​the anvil, and its execution. It is very convenient to have two different surfaces for work. And the steel of such an anvil must withstand very serious tests. A large surface area of ​​the base will help to distribute the impact energy.

All original tools!

I will answer simply. FOR.
You do not make tiles near the house from shit? here it is - the basis of plywood. scares
And why so much effort? Why can't you just use a piece of rail without any plywood stand? Are you tired of the extra plywood along the wall?
Here he is confused, put next to the I-beam and hammers on the flat side.
Of course. You can say “caliper” or “caliper” as much as you like, but in the documentation or article - only “caliper”.
Nanotechnology is the sole from the Soviet iron! ))))

Where is the mistake? What, rail?

Nifiga did not understand! A simpler stand to weld - no way? :

Yes, here the whole idea, in my opinion, lies in the fact that this is not a blacksmith anvil, but nanotechnological. Trim the cloves there, straighten the bar, bend the ring and at the end of work, actually transfer it somewhere to the far corner.

I’ll ask a traditional question: can I at least make the headings without errors?

I'm sorry - are you me?

I, too, did not immediately drive in, that this was not a workshop, but a club of interests, Altaviro would soon be oriented.

So Steve did it all
I thought the author will share his own. And he just blew it off from someone.

You must use alternative modes of transport!

So, have quadrocopter batteries become cheaper?

Well, you can weld a steel sheet and put it on an elastic band, but it won’t quench the blow.
The second side can also sometimes be used - there the edges are rounded
Nifiga did not understand! A simpler stand to weld - no way? Only one surface is used anyway. Yes, by the way, in what area does a lover of crafts made of rails and crutches work? There you need to use alternative modes of transport! smile
I really, really liked it. The only thing I added was the handles for carrying from the ends. It’s just enough to carry from the ends to carry well, it’s purely physiologically more convenient.
