    The main part is made out of normal steel (don't know the name/code for it), and the tip is made out of tool steel that i cut of from a hand-chisel.

    i think i understand what you mean, soften the edges of the hammer, make it a bit spherical. And make sure that you don't overheat the steel, otherwise it changes to cementite. btw, does someone know an answer to the following question? when i'm more experienced, i want to start forgewelding damascus steel for making knives. But next week i'll probably start building a forge, but what fuel is best for damascus? Charcoal, coal or gas?

    wow thanks for all the great replies! 1. Welding magnets, are those the 90 degree magnets used to keep thing in place when welding? 2. I think that wrapping chains around the anvil works good aswell? 3. What do you mean by "draw temper on it" ? How do i do that? 4. I finished the stand today, painted it black, and welded some angelsteel on it to keep the anvil in place. I also want to put a piece of wood or something between the anvil and the stand.

    Hi all, I'm new, so i shall introduce myselve, i'm Johan from The Netherlands, and i wanna start forging iron. Today i bought my first 90 kg anvil. The letters "UAT" are written on the anvil. I googled it and I found some results of dutch people asking what kind an anvil it was etcetera, but no answers. I'm gonna repaint the anvil. (just the sides) But the questions. Shall i put the anvil on a big piece or wood, or shall i weld a three legged stool? And are there big differences in the sound anvils make? Mine's really loud when i hit it with the hammer. And can i use my regular hardened steel hammer? Or do I need a special forging hammer? Maybe my hammer is too hard, because i can smash (very)little dents in the anvil. Regards Johan
