Yes anvils are 3D sorry bout that and I live in lubec Maine ok so the striking anvil plate size would be 2" thick by 5 1/2" wide and 18" long
I just want to make small stuff until I learn some techniques
I'm a newbie and looking to get into blacksmithing and I was wondering if I was to take a bunch of steel and forge weld it together how much steel would I need to make a striking anvil 2" thick by 18" long?
