I just bought 2 anvils, a vulcan 50 lbs and a 110 lbs. The 50 pounder looks like the face has minor rust pits. Do I just wear it down, or does it really affect the project metal. It is totally flat.
My other anvil is in rougher shape. a huge gouge out of the face, perpendicular almost across the whole width. Would this be a project I could tackle, being that i have a welder and a grinder? Is just best to go to a machine shop and have them built it up and mill it?
