greybard1 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi, I recently moved and lost my flying anvils. I have a foundry nearby. My question is : the mold mix... I lost the formula for the mix. I want to cast new ones. Thanks in advance, -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Are you talking about casting mini anvils, or larger (over 10 lb). And what kind of metal are you pouring? Do you have the training to handle molten metals of any type? And what is a 'flying anvil'? This should probably be in the foundry/casting section.

Nobody Special Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Are you talking about anvils used for anvil shooting? Depends on what kind of casting are you thinking about doing. Green sand? Is your foundry set up with the right equipment and refractory to do a steel pour? Do you have a huge honkin' crucible? One that'll stand up to molten steel/iron? What's your background in casting?

Steve Sells Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Why doesnt the local foundry have casting materials is another question for the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayakersteve Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You mean, you guys dont all make your own anvils??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 *Not* by casting! We use a vapour deposition process using unobtanium to make a single crystal anvil and then hardened. Then it is laser tuned to the proper note and the entirity of "the Village Blacksmith" is engraved on it *in* *the* *original* *Klingon*!

Ridgewayforge Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 One can MAKE an anvil? I always assumed that you went down to the granite quarry, picked out the best one...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I thought that Basalt was the more preferred stone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yahoo2 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 You guys are so 20th century, what's next, paper mache. The top secret skunkworks here have come up with a carbon fibre base and my mum is crochet-ing the top plate from spider webs, it's stronger than steel you know! and environmentally friendly.

ianinsa Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 If you use steel wool, can you knit an anvil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewayforge Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 That depends: Does steel wool come from Steel Sheep, or Steel Alpacas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewayforge Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Ohhh! Now I get it. So that's why anvils have horns as opposed to antlers, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
