I use ball-peens for all types of smithing work all of witch have been mentioned but as far as non smithing work I keep one on the tractor for changing equipment driving out pins and what not the peen works good on stubern pins
Thanks for all the good info my friend is trying to make up his mind what to do with it it has been in 2 fires where the house burnt all the way down so it got pretty hot personaly I think the dern thing is bad luck!
Thanks for the welcome. I'm taking the green coal class at the Fiddlers Grove Blacksmiths Association at the Fiddlers Grove Village in the Wilson County fair grounds in Lebanon TN
I have a buddy who has a anvil that was in a house fire, it has no markings and he said he weighed it and it was 160lbs. The question is can anything be done for this anvil, or is it just to look at now?
Well lets see I am down here in Tennessee and have been messing about with blacksmithing for about 10 months. I recently joined the local blacksmiths assocation and am taking classes {who knew how much I was doing wrong, oh well} Anyway my background is mostly woodworking but smithing seems to be taking the lead. Hope to learn some stuff on here and get some questions answers till next time
