Bear Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well finally got the fisher cleaned up mostly and on a stump. Still need to do some finish work on it. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keykeeper Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Looks nice, bet you can't wait to hit some metal on it. Wish my anvil was bigger like that. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easilyconfused Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 At least the blood will show since it's shiny, and the risk of infection will be reduced.:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrous Beuler Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Very nice anvil Bear, I especially like the cast eagle on these and those edges... She's right purty!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi jr, the horn really isnt too pointy. I Used sandpaper flap disks mainly because it had some minor pitting under all the gunk that was on the horn.

ThomasPowers Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It doesn't need finish work it needs *use*! Unless you are planning only to do silversmithing on it... I have a 137# Hay-Buden that was in an unheated shop adjunct in a damp state since 1938. Don't know when they stopped using it; but the face has small pits; rather than grinding them out I am using the anvil and letting use polish the face out. Seems to be working.

HWooldridge Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Fishers are great anvils - I had a 200 lb one like yours - a couple of edges needed repair so I welded them up. A fellow smith bought it a few months later and used it for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
