To Bob I havent poured since I left my old shop and moved into my garage at home but I have a stack of 55 gallon drums and could whip up a batch of refractory to build a cupola. I have been talking to some local artists who want to make large castings so a big cupola is most likely going to be built soon which is why I was thinking of pouring my own anvil. Phil thanks for a point in the right direction

Ok call me crazy but I was thinking of making my own anvil. I have 2 now one peter wright and a vulcan. The vulan is an ok anvil made of cast iron and a steel face, I can buy a piece of steel and could pour over 100 lbs of cast iron into a green sand mould. Maybe if there are any old timers out there who know how to bond the 2 or point me in the right direction that would be great. I know people have want posted about getting an aso and putting a face on it but I want to start from scratch. People were doing this a long time before I was born and I know it can be done and that I can do it with just a little more info. Thanks from the crazy smith
