the anvil was made 2 years ago the only other job we have done since was to fire weld a new horn onto a old anvil the anvil had been given to us to have a go ,it was a total wreck, so there was nothing to lose the anvil was small around 70 lb without horn ,the job went well , used a floor fire for the anvil and the shop fire, for the horn i used iron out of old chain , we rough shaped the horn welded a handeling bar onto it ,got the anvil end to a welding heat ,pulled it out of the fire and tipped it on its tail , and jump welded the iron on to make the horn we then set it back in the floor fire and took 4 more welds to tidie it up ,i used the same fire i made the anchors on ,if you fancy having a go at some heaver work fixing a old anvil would be a good start as you dont need a power hammer just lots of coal and coke and some handy lads,give it a go.
