Okay, it looked great but my lack of X-ray vision cost me. I was so pumped to get a Swedish anvil. It was a Craigslist find in Kansas, I had it shipped. When it landed on my front steps it had a dusting of snow on the top (Michigan) and it still looked great. The more I cleaned it up, the more my stomach turned. The face is pitted, the edges are chipped, nothing major.
Help, should I have the face ground? Rebound seems shady, dropping a ball bearing, some spots I swear (sorry to swear in my first post) it jumps 110% other spots its 50%. Rings like a firebell.
Do I clean it up? Or bang on it?
