What to do with a rusty anvil

[MRobb]

I think that since I am the closest, you could just give it to me! Free pick up of course!

I have started a new thread on which type anvil face is preferred.

Good looking anvil. I also bought a old anvil myself, very rusty. I used a wire brush to knock off the dirt and rust. Used a graphite dry based spray to help keep it dry.

wire brush and oil would be my choice

To go against what everybody else has said..... Here in Sichuan it is very wet and humid. Sometimes I have to leave my anvil unused for several weeks if I am away in Europe. I grease the face which protects it nicely but if I were going to be leaving it for a very long time I would paint the face and then just clean it up again when needed.

The best way to keep an anvil in good condition is just to use it.

In answer to the question what you should do with that anvil the reply is quite easy. You should stick some postage on it and mail it to me here in Sichuan.
