Hi there everyone, just kicking off with the blacksmithing trade hoping to get into it. Slowly collecting tools, made a coal forge the other day. Luckily I picked up this anvil for $150 which has some major damage. Not too sure on how to restore the hardy holes. No idea what's going on with the rivet either.
I've been told from about hard facing with a welder and also milling, forming lump of steel to weld on the break. Not too sure yet.
From tip of horn to break 650mm
Anvil face width 150mm
Height 350mm
Horn length 300mm
Any advice, tips, tricks and info would be greatly much appreciated. Cheers guys.
