I don't have any cracks in mine just the edges of the anvil need fillings, I would assume not as large of a project as this. Thanks for the additional information. In terms of the stump, thank you I will check out "Bowerbird Timber".... Yellow box is such a hard gum, that will last you too. Hopefully I can find something similar. Cheers, Locky -
You should get another couple of decades out of it Can you tell me about the welding process? What rods did your mate use etc? What was your clean up process to keep the anvil face flat? Is the welder local in Victoria running a busines? I ask as I have an anvil in need of some repair also..... I also notice a very nice Red Gum stump..... Where did you score that mate? Regards, Locky

Thanks guys appreciate your comments... I will attempt to keep the pictures coming until completion. I just require some time to buy some steel to mount the blower and motor, complete all welds and give it a test run. I can't wait! Locky

I have to agree with the consensus thus far on Uri Hofi and would like to suggest Mark Aspery with his detail in presenting a methodical edification of Blacksmithing techniques through his books, videos and classes.

Yep went a bit overboard Dodge My mates joke that I am like "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" from the TV show "Home Improvements" Bigger, more power etc.... The fire pot's base is 40mm (2 X 20mm plate) to facilitate the clinker breaker and the sides are 15mm; think I should be able to pass this to my youngest son...... Locky
