Mr.Blacksmith Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 If any one knows where I can get an anvil near or preferably in Tennessee? I'm looking for one at about 100 pounds, give of take, for a reasonable price. With clean lines and flat face, good ring, you guys know the drill. Thanks, Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 watch craigslist, they do come up occasionally- but be prepared to cough up some cash- even beat up anvils will fetch $2..00/ lb and up keep looking and you may get lucky, i found an 84 pound Arm & Hammer for $40.00 and it is in use-able shape, I would probably fix the edges up if I was going to use it as my main anvil, I like to have some sharp edges on my anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blacksmith Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I've never fixed the edges on an anvil, and i have one that has none to speak of. ill post a pic tomorrow. but how would i fix them? Take an angle grinder to the thing... i'd hate to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You do not want to have all the edges on an anvil sharp, but a small area on both near and far side of the anvil is quite useful for many things. As far as repairing an anvil you do grind out the fractured area and smooth out any voids for preparation to weld. Here is a link to the method developed by Robb Gunther and Karl Schulerhttp://www.anvilmag.com/smith/anvilres.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
