    The cages are less than lovely but they provide the best protection. Finnr

    Vulcan hasn't been made for many years. The maker is long gone. Good idea though for a newer anvil. Finnr

    Flap dicks are very aggressive. But they leave a far smoother finish that a hard rock. Finnr

    Box bellows ducky? I haven't built one but have used several made by friends and yes they work well and can be built very cheaply. Finnr

    If I am unable to get ANYTHING else I buy HF flap disks I don't expect long life or even super performance , But they serve until I can get to my welding supply and get the good ones. No way I know of to get both cheap and quality, that is a basic oxymoron. Finnr

    BINGO !!! Ted Excellent point. Finnr

    The best looking is what ever sells. Finnr

    An eight pound hammer with a striker is just too much for a small (75# ) anvil to handle. I am afraid it's toast now. Finnr

    Gotta agree with you on golf Mike. I never did understand "pasture pool" myself. Finnr

    Super design. Ilike that all the most likely to come flying at you bits are covered but still visible. Finnr

    Mike. I think you are right. Sure looks to me like a bead on the off side of that anvil. Finnr

    RR rail is just one thing that can serve as an anvil. To get going snag any large heavy hunk of metal and make do until you find The perfect anvil ( there really ain't one what is perfect for me isn't likely to be perfect for you ) As Frosty said , don't waste valuable learning time in search of a rainbow.

    Anhydros Borax is in fact borax that has been melted and reground to powder. From my experience making it is a pain. Buying it costs more than 20 Mule. I use 20 Mule, and add around 10% boric acid as my regular flux. Finnr

    Quench! You hit the nail on the head dead center! Finnr

    If you want directions on hardening and tempering a RR anvil Alexander Weyger's book The Complete Modern Blacksmith covers it very well. The one I had I just arc welded a chunk of Semi leaf spring on the top and the young man i gave it to a couple years back is still making use of it. Finnr

    Free isn't always cheap. If you haul home something that can make you sick or kill you the price of free was WAY too high. Finnr

    That's down right spiffy Steve!! Finnr

    Either fiberglass of a metal patch will do you well. It ain't rocket science. Canedy Otto blowers are fairly common around here . Picking up one that has trashed gears would give you a new housing. Finnr
