In the scrap metal collection points, you can sometimes find old things that are very useful for a home workshop and garage. For example, a blacksmith anvil, which is useful to everyone who masters the skills of hot forging metal.
As a rule, almost all objects that are found on the metal receiver are in a very poor condition and require restoration. So this master found the anvil had to be restored.
First of all, the master decided to clean the surface of the anvil from rust. To do this, you can use improvised tools. In this case, the master uses a grinder with a cord brush.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master aligns the edge of the desktop, after which he changes the cord brush to the blade disc and polishes the horizontal plane of the anvil on which the workpieces are processed.
Then the master degreases the surface and paints with spray paint. Moreover, the work area must be sealed with masking tape. Then the most crucial stage is to prepare the stand for the anvil.
To do this, the master uses a birch deck, which he saws off in size with a chainsaw, and then removes the bark with an ax.
The master makes a clamp out of a metal strip, which he puts on the top of the deck and pulls it together with a bolt and nut. Then it remains only to install and secure the anvil.
You can see the detailed process of recovering the blacksmith anvil from the metal reception in the video on the website.
