Seek ye first the kingdom of the Lord and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. I'm praying for you. Keep holding on brother! He is in control.
Don't un-patina it and then waste wd40 to keep it from rusting. It took many years to get that patina. That's different than rust. Rust is on the surface. A good patina will keep it from rusting if you leave it on.
Thanks JT! I tried to have a 200 pounder shipped to me by UPS, and the guy said it would be $690! He also said an anvil is like the awesomest thing you can buy!
