burnsy the smithy

I own a 60 pound vulcan that i got on ebay. i over paid however i do love my little anvil. it does have ok rebound the face is very soft. the face plate is almost 1/4" thick but i did dent twice from poor hammer control. so for a beginner its price is nice but if your gonna hit it by mistake with a hammer like i did you could be in trouble!

thank you all very much for the help I will pass on the anvil i might buy his beat up vulcan anvil but i have my trusty rr rail i love the forum thanks again!!!

the seller tells me that the rebound on the anvil is better then all the vulcan anvils hes sold but you all really think that its a aso

can i file the hardi more square? or will it be to hard if infact its a quality anvil?

does everyone think this would be a decent anvil for a beginner? i know the weight is light and the hardy shapes but it is in great shape

can i file the hardi to a better shape? thanks so much for the help

but why the two hardies

i found this anvil on ebay and im confused about the two hardy hole that are not square here is the link: This is the html version of the file
