I then finished cooling it down with slowly pouring 10 Gal of water over it and was left with this:
I have now sanded the top with a belt sander and knocked the burnt oil and paint off but the belt sander did almost nothing to the few scratches the new face had in it from it's previous life. These scratches are not deep and will likely be hammered out soon enough anyway. I Also took my grinder and clened up where the welds come near the face as well as putting a "Hardy edge" along the back of the new heel. It is only about 3/8" thick there anyway and my edge is only at a 45* angle.
Sorry no picture of the "finished" product but it worked MUCH better as an anvil, and I can still use the Pot Iron nose to cup my leaves
