ThomasPowers Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Nice european style with plowmakers slanted side. If it were me I'd clean the face with a belt grinder and use the flatish bit opposite the slanted side to forge on. No other repairs. The flat face-worn face transition would be a great tool for drawing---like a built in bottom fuller! Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlbrown Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 SIR, i bought an anvil at a BAM meeting many years ago. it had been repaired. i ask a lot of questions. seems he milled the face on a milling machine, and put down a 1/2 in. plate of S-7, and welded it to the anvil. this is air hardening tool steel. it has held up very well. good luck with your projects. wlbrown wright city, mo.

Hollon Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I could be wrong, but I think an anvil like that is worth more than the usual london pattern. Then again, I might be thinking of a sawyers anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
