I Forge Iron

M&H Armitage Mouse Hole anvil - 1820-1835 (?)


Recommended Posts

It has a bit of a radius to the face toward the front and transitions to flatter towards the back. I think it's from design rather than wear. Edges are good except for a couple of chips that will grind out easily. The only edge that is chipped badly is at the front shoulder. I have a Hay Budden that is  damaged the same way. 

 

BTW Timothy, I checked out your web site and your work is fantastic.

Nice anvil, just don't clean it up with an abrasive disk, you don't want to remove material just rust so use a wire brush with your 4" grinder to do that task. Now go light off the forge and have a good time!

By grinding I meant with a belt sander setup. I'm talking about a 1/4" chipped area. It's a wire wheel for everything else.
