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,

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.

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?

Why doesnt the local foundry have casting materials is another question for the mix. 

Is this a troll?

You mean, you guys dont all make your own anvils???

*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*!

Kom Pla !

One can MAKE an anvil? I always assumed that you went down to the granite quarry, picked out the best one......

I thought that Basalt was the more preferred stone?

Cast concrete, painted black.  Might fool somebody.

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.

If you use steel wool, can you knit an anvil?

If you use steel wool, can you knit an anvil?

 

cool idea, I shall get the minions working in it.

That depends: Does steel wool come from Steel Sheep, or Steel Alpacas?

Hydraulic rams of course!

Ohhh! Now I get it. So that's why anvils have horns as opposed to antlers, right?

Ewe, baa...d joke.

 

Of course, it has to be a cable knit.........

and you have never used a flying anvil?

you know, the kind that fly up and hit your stationsry hammer.

I thought everybody hsd one of those!
