The master is fond of metalworking, in particular the manufacture of knives, and for comfortable work he needs an anvil. The prices for such a product, even used ones, are high and the master decided to make the anvil on his own.
Tools and materials:
-Metal blocks;
-Welding machine;
- Band saw;
-USHM;
Reciprocating saw;
-Rule;
-Marker;
Step One: Material Selection
For the anvil, the master uses two types of steel: mild 1018 CR, for the base and, hard S7, for the upper part (steel grades are given according to US standards).
Step Two: Cutting
Marks up metal blocks.
Slices metal forming parts of the anvil.
On the upper platform makes a square hole.
Step Three: Grinding
Now you need to grind the parts of the anvil.
Step Four: Welding
After processing the parts of the anvil, the master welds them together.
Step Five: Top Plate
Now you need to add the top plate of tool steel S7. The master also made a square hole in the plate, and before welding it will be necessary to combine it with the lower hole. In order to weld a plate, the master first preheats it in a gas oven. After welding, you need to warm up the weld so that it cools down slowly and does not crack. The master heats it with a gas burner.
Step Six: Painting
After the seam has cooled, the master polishes and paints the anvil.
The anvil is ready.
