Hi IFI! This is my first post after signing up but I have been reading as much as I can over the last couple of weeks. I am just starting getting into blacksmithing as a hobby and I have a question about the anvil shaped object I have acquired. I asked a buddy at work if he had an anvil he wasn't using and he didn't but he suggested I use some I-beam. We have that kind of stuff at work & he said he could have one of our steel guys cut me a piece to get started. My plan was to turn it on its side & weld a 1.5-2 inch steel plate to the top. Well, when he brought it by for me I was surprised to see that he took it upon himself to "hook me up". He welded supports on it & ground an angle on the front of it. As I was raised to no look a gift horse in the mouth, I happily accepted it and decided to make do. I am looking for suggestions as to how to modify it. My new plan is to add a couple more supports to the rear area and to add a rounded section to act as a horn of sorts. I have a couple of pieces of 1 inch steel(pardon the blurry pic) that I plan to weld together & then grind the top down to a rounded shape. I will then weld that onto the top of the ASO, probably towards the back. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
