Hello All,
I am new here, name is Curt and I'm located on the southern edge of Michigan. I am new to the blacksmithing arena (aside from the short unit in High school shop) , the screen name more comes from my interests in old metal working machines and my 1919 Port Huron steam engine...
I have started to collect tools to start a smithy including this Peter Wright anvil. I can get it off the floor and up to the work bench, so I guess around 70 lbs or so. I have attached photos of the edges of the face and one of the horn, from end to end of the face its reasonable flat, slight crown side to side as per the photo with the 6 inch machinist's rule..
My question is, whats the best way to repair? Please keep in mind, I'm not rich. haha. I do have large vertical and horizontal millers in shop. Was thinking of a slight fly cut to even out the face to get rid of the crown.
OK.... time for your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
