Mastering Anvil and Welder Techniques for Small Shop Spaces

Learn how to optimize your small shop space with expert tips on using anvils and welders. Discover the best practices for tool fitting and power usage to enhance your metalworking skills.

Anvil Techniques

βš’οΈThe Hardy hole on the small shop anvil is slightly larger than the one in the other shop.

βš™οΈGrinding down the tools to fit one anvil may cause them to not fit well in the other anvil.

πŸ”§Making new tools for each anvil is a better option.

Welder Techniques

πŸ”₯The welder has a maximum power of 140 amps on a 220 volt circuit.

πŸ”ŒIt can also be used on a regular 110 volt circuit with a lower power output.

πŸ› οΈThe video aims to determine if the welder is accessible for people with minimal shop space and setup.
