David Gaddis Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yesterday Iw as visiting with someone on the chat room about repairing the fac e of an anvil He informed me there is a section on anvil repair on IFI. Being new to IFI my lack of experience in negotiating the website I have not located such a site / discussion. So how about info on re-edging, gouge repair etc. Thanks Yall.

BlissStreet Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It's not really in one place. You have to go to the Anvil section and then search for "anvil repair". Then be ready to drink a pot of coffee and spend about 2 hours reading through the threads and following up ideas with google searches. have a pad and pencil handy to jot down notes; that will allow you to kind of centralize the information that gets repeated, and follow up on some fringe ideas. That's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sask Mark Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Mr. Junior Strasil emailed me his method that was made into a blueprint at one point. It worked quite well for the edge and spot repair on one of my anvils. If you are interested in it, send me a PM and I can email it to you.

Thomas Dean Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Check this; http://www.cvbg.org/anvilrepair699.pdf It is the printed procedure for repairing anvils written by Robb Gunter. It is the best procedure I have seen, very detailed. And I wouldn't deter from what he has. I have seen several anvils at his shop that he has repaired and they are prestine. (Yes, I am a professional welder--since '73) That said, I would really weigh the pros n cons of doing a repair. Note for the faint of heart or the inexperienced....
