Great information on ribbon burners. How and where is Ron Whales located and how do you get ahold of him to purchase his ribbon burner. Thanks again.

Thank you for the name of Gunter. I will look him up.

Thank you very much. All who have responded have been very help full. Thanks again.

I am trying to get as much information as possible to get an idea of who and where to take this anvil. I do not want to ruin it. I see you are from TX hope all is well with all of the flooding. I have a college teacher who teaches welding. I was going to talk to him and see his opinion. Who do you recommend and is there anyone in my area southern Cal. What college in TX does this anvil clinic take place. Thanks again.

Hey thanks for all of your advice. I'm in California and would love to talk to you and get your opinion on how to fix it and or if it is still useable. I am just starting in the blacksmithing endeavor. I do know a very competent welder but from what I have read and watched on YouTube the proper steps need to be taken to preserve this anvil. Give me call if you like to discuss my options. It maybe easier over the phone, due to all of my questions. Bryan 626-664-2048

Well after more inspection the number 22 was on the waist area in front below the horn. On the foot below the other number is 886 ' 1. This is very hart to read. there is some kind of marking between the 6 and the number 1.

I did it on the lower portion. I will do a more scientific and controlled test and video and measure to a more accurate rebound test. I will get back to you. Thanks again.

I did the 3/4 inch steel ball drop and it rebounded very well. It has a nice ring to it. Is the raised area repair or is it a different kind of work area for something different? Thanks for the replies.

Thank you for all of your knowledge and information. I have a few pictures to share with you and get your opinion on an anvil that I have. It is a Hercules anvil and is in pretty fair shape. The table has a raised section to the rear. I would like to have your opinion on this anvil. Thanks again. Bryan. FullSizeRender.jpg_3
