1. Introduction:
As a second project, it was proposed to make a small anvil, working with plans.
and measurements provided by a standard model that the Engineer will provide us. This anvil,
it has iron as the default material.
In this report, we will focus on the second project, which is the realization of the anvil.
with its respective process.
2. Theoretical framework:
The anvil is mainly known as a blacksmithing tool, but it is also
employee for jewelry, goldsmithing and even used, with a special design, by the
shoemakers in shoe repair.
This tool is made of stone or metal, and is used as a support for forging.
metals. Most of these instruments are made of wrought iron, as this material
transfers the energy of the impact more efficiently. Other metals are too
fragile to withstand the strong and constant blow.
At its bottom, the anvil has a section known as the heel for rebating.
It consists of a cube used to strike long and circular pieces, to which it
they want to create a head at one of its ends.
For the stability of the anvil, it should be installed or placed on a base or support.
sufficiently sturdy so that the work can be done without any setbacks.

3. Objetivos:
General objective:
To make an anvil from a block of iron using blueprints.
Specific objectives:
Develop feasible methods that facilitate the construction of our anvil.
Know and use the tools of the mechanical workshop for the preparation of
anvil
Register through documentation the development of this project.
4. Design:
This work was done with the purpose of showing the result of a job.

structuring manufacturing and use of tools and materials has been addressed

For the construction of the boat, the type of boat to be made was freely chosen.

6. Preparation procedure:
To start making the anvil, first a bar of iron must be acquired.
since the casting of iron would take more time and would have imperfections due to
this material must be melted in places designated for that purpose.
With the anvil plan, we were able to verify the measurements, but there is always a need to leave a
A little more to prevent the piece from being damaged. Better to have too much than too little. With this in
the anvil was proceeded to be made.
With the ingot made, we proceed to refine, or give a better finish to the faces.
with the help of the lathe, for that we need to have a blade and a lot of precision since
An error could affect our ingot and misalign the measurements established in the plan.
referential.
After having our faces smooth, we proceed to paint the anvil with white concealer,
so that when marking, the sketch can be noticeable and help us guide ourselves better
way when cutting and drilling the iron ingot.
After taking our measurements, we mark the drilling points, in this case,
we helped each other with the pedestal drill to make the necessary holes, it began
with the two holes on the lateral faces of the ingot and then to the holes of
the upper face, the same ones that were 4.
We marked the excess parts and with the saw, we began to cut, always
remembering that we must leave a margin of error to correct when needed.
With the anvil having its cuts and perforations, there was still one step left to take, the
same that was essential for the presentation of the anvil since we had to file
perfectly so that it has a good finish and thus looks better.
Like any project, there are always mistakes; in this case, I had some measurements that were not
the appropriate ones since those from the plan were different from those I made in my project.
Our result is as follows, we have the anvil finished and ready to present.
The experiences were good, and the work was hard especially when having a material
very strong like iron, since in previous cases the ingot was made of different
materials such as aluminum which is a bit more moldable, but it was worth the
pity, since a lot was learned with this project.

7. Conclusions:
The development of this project took a task of thirteen weeks and
also of a good budget and performance, but undoubtedly has been very
the elaboration of the iron anvil is interesting.
A basic knowledge of different workshop tools is also necessary.
to have more precision when crafting the anvil.
We can conclude that for the elaboration of the anvil it is necessary
invest dedication, money, and good time, since it is a job that must be done
to do with patience, precision, and dedication.
At the conclusion of this project, we are left with many conclusions, but the most
important in my opinion, is the learning that working hard leaves us in
the workshop to achieve our project in the best way.
