August 7, 201213 yr Author Here's a good thread to give you some ideas for your anvil! Enjoy!http://www.iforgeiro...__fromsearch__1 Cool, i will see about doing some of that as time goes, i like the idea of how to bolt it down. For now, i think i will just see about securing it down to a log till i can get more supplies. All my money is going to moving right now.
August 7, 201213 yr Great anvil. I absolutely wouldn't try to add a horn to the side. Not only is that going to be a ton of work by the time you weld it on and shape it into a horn, but it serves no purpose, really. If you need a horn, drill out the hardy and pritchell holes. Then use the hardy to support a cone mandrel. Or, stick a cone in your vise. Horns are for fullering the steel, or curving it. But there are better ways to go about either operation than using the horn on an anvil. For instance, a weight plate from the gym set will make a great form to bend around and you end up with a perfect curve. Similarly, a spring fuller mounted in the hardy hole will move the metal just like the horn would and is far easier to make than welding and grinding a maul head on the side of the anvil. Just my thinking...
