Tried to buy an anvil but not happening! At my customers Mine site I saw a defective impact hammer from a rock crusher, 4 of these are installed on a rotor and it spins super fast. Any way I cut it in two pieces and welded together using rods from Lincoln for Hadfieldmagenses. I cut this using a Carbon arc gouging torch. The holes I drilled with concrete bits on my Enco mill/drill, I probably used at least a 100 bucks worth of drill bits and took all day. The Anvil weighs #340 lbs and the Florida oak stump at least 100 lbs.
It seemed like a good idea at the time!
Reply:That's nice work. Most of that crusher stuff is high Manganese and will work harden well from impact.
Reply:that is huge. Looks like a real anvil to me. Good job.Lincoln, ESAB, Thermal Dynamics, Victor, Miller, Dewalt, Makita, Kalamzoo. Hand tools, power tools, welding and cutting tools.
Reply:Wow. Great job on the anvil. Very impressive !

Reply:Very nice work! I've wanted to do something similar for ages, but I don't think I could make an anvil that nice!How'd you turn the horn all nice and conical like that? Was the steel hard to grind?
Reply:To answer the earlier questions about the horn and the hardy hole. I shaped the horn with a carbon arc gouging torch and the a 7" grinder and yeah its hard! The hardy hole I drilled the 4 corners with a 1/4" bit and the finnnaly a 1" bit in the center and cleaned it up with a carbide bur. I have about 100 hours in it! seems crazy and really freaked out some old timers when I told them what I was doing at my industrial park.It seemed like a good idea at the time!
Reply:Very impressive indeed and it has a patent!
Being manganese steel I'd guess preheat would be a no no or preheat and/or welding would have to be kept under about 500 deg's.?Last edited by Welder Dave; 06-27-2021 at 09:29 PM.
Reply:That is truly Impressive! Very clean shaping on the horn. I would not have guessed it was done with a handheld grinder.

Reply:I did pre heat it, that was a trip. basically made a ring about 30" filled it with Kingsford briquets put the 2 pieces in there and covers with another bag and let it preheat. Every bead I ran had to be peened with an pneumatic impact, just as soon as the slag peeled off. If I didn't peen it it would crack almost immediately. I made this in 2012 and looks so cool in the shop!It seemed like a good idea at the time!

Reply:Ill give you 100 bucks for it
That looks like it was a lot of work
should serve you well for years
Reply:Really nice job on the anvil.Manganese doesn't work harden, it work toughens.
Reply:It's 25 1/2" long, 5" wide by 13" tall and weighs about 340 lbs.It seemed like a good idea at the time!
