Welding Rod

I just made a custom track anvil and welded a snowplow blade on the top for the working surface and 3/8” plate for sides I’ve never seen any like it on google I used it for the first time today and was pleased with how it worked it only cost me 40 bucks to build it and 8 hrs labor I’ll try to put a picture of it on Facebook under Snake Road Forge the anvil ended up weighing 90 lbs

Does anyone know much about these anvils I believe they were imported from England but I’d like to get an idea of how old it is I know the feet are forge welded onto the body it has seen some abuse but has excellent rebound

Thanks it was a fun project I became more excited as I progressed some of the pictures look almost real like your looking in an actual real barn

Welding rod here here are some pictures of my grandpas 1862 civil war dairy barn replica I built for our marvel 50 th family reunion

Had no blueprints had to do everything by memory talked to a few family members to try to get closer to the original layout the actual scale is pretty close looked at some old barns to see how they were framed wish I’d had some concrete dimensions though the build date of the barn and the names of the six carpenters that built the barn were carved into one of the main center beams sadly the carving was lost when the barn was torn down in the late 70s

This is welding rod made this miniature anvil to go with a 1/20 scale model of my grandfathers 1862 civil war dairy barn made the anvil in 45 minutes out of a piece of 3/4 square stock

Had our first IBA blacksmith hammer in went well made some cool projects

There is a definite 0 stamped in the side just right of center you can see it in the picture if you zoom in thanks black frog for the reply

Here’s the picture I’m not sure if this is the one you need

Here’s the bottom of the annvilanvil

Thanks Thomas that makes sense will get a picture of the bottom tomorrow and post it

For some reason somebody chiseled a bunch of cuts in the sides and feet don’t know why I’m trying to grind them smooth don’t see any names anywhere just numbers looked underneath didn’t notice any stamping will check further tonight at work now thanks for the reply where are you located I’m nortwest indiana
