First Anvil, how is the face? (106lb. PW)
Allthegearnoidea replied to DanielC's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
It looks like it's been milled to me, don't worry about it, Its your first anvil, best thing to do is use it and see how it performs. If you are doing light work only it should be fine. Just don't work your metal cold! -
Good evening, could any let me know what this anvil is? I think its a Peter Wright but Im unsure. My next question is what is your stance on shot blasting to remove paint? Cheers!

130kg / 285 pound Anvil help
Allthegearnoidea replied to Allthegearnoidea's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Hey NewbieForge, yes its not a powerful ring more of a tinggggg. The rebound is great, I would say you are right with the Wilkinsons, I havent heard of these. Do you have any information on them? Thanks Paul -
130kg / 285 pound Anvil help
Allthegearnoidea replied to Allthegearnoidea's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Its definately a nine, possibly the day an owner bought it. I initially thought it was a pw / mousehole but the extra ratholes in the foot is different to other PW's and the mousehole I currently own. -
Hi Guys, It's been a while ladies and gents. I have recently acquired this anvil, the markings have long gone can anyone help me identify it? It the following on the heel 31251 with another that looks to be an "I" Any ideas, I cant imagine it being a date as the horn would indicate this to be much older than 51. There was around 10 layers of paint on the anvil and the face so I had it blasted. Any information would be great. Cheers all!

Anvil Refacing Rods?
Allthegearnoidea replied to Allthegearnoidea's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Gents, I have dabbled with electrolysis, I could put the anvil in a bath of water and bicarb for a couple of days, do you think that would work? -
Anvil Refacing Rods?
Allthegearnoidea replied to Allthegearnoidea's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
The pitting is pretty deep and IMO I would not be able to effectively use the anvil. However the face is fairly flat, I have searched for a supplier of stoody rods in the UK, I will give them a call on Monday. I will post the price on here guys, any idea how many kg I will need? -
Ladies and Gents, I recently aqcuired a Isaac Nash Anvil which is extrememely pitted. See pics. I have decided to repair the old girl. I have an arc welder and a means to pre-heat, however after reading several repair documents I still do not understand which rods to use. I have been on ebay and came accross these hard-facing rods with the following information:- Smitweld sterno 50 MC high recovery only 7 rods per half killo alloy hardness of 63 rc for abrassive wear Would they do the trick? and also how many kg's do you think I would need, anvil is 100kg and needs at least 6mm to build up. Thanks all in advance! Paul

Fluidsteel, Is it worth it? -

Allthegearnoidea replied to Allthegearnoidea's topic in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels
Hi Fluidsteel, this may sound like a daft question. If I were to weld it, after its preheated, must I use an arc welder with high grade rods? I only have a mig-welder. Would it be worth the outlay to have a welder do it in your opinion? -
