Just because I have never refaced an anvil before, dose not mean I have no experience using one! If you asked yourself who NEEDS a particular radius on an edge to do the same job over and over you would come up with a short list of trades. It is not about perfect, but what is needed for the job in hand. If I knacker it by welding it, so what, it can go back in the scrap pile, but if i make it good, then i will have a third anvil at a handy in-between size. I do weld and have done for 20 years.

Hello Folk, I decided to rescue a old 156kg anvil from a friends scrap pile. The 2 long radios edges from the table to the hardy have mushroomed sides, they are about 12mm lower than they should be. After sanding the rust off the sides the top looks to be a steel plate. I was going to use hardfaceing rods to fill in the edges, but after doing a spark test on the face it seems to be mild steel or very close. Your thought would be appreciated. Thanks in advance John Boy Unfortunately I am unable to add a photo.
