ThomasPowers Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If this is such a big deal for you then perhaps blacksmithing is not an appropriate metalworking craft for you. Home shop machining would suit your proclivities much more closely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Bondo, if two pages of replies by experienced smiths in this thread telling you to leave the anvil alone and work with it as it doesn't soak in, then Thomas' previous comment should seriously be taken to heart.

John McPherson Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Had to find my notes: the last time I was in Peter Ross' shop for a NCABANA meeting, he stated that the most useful feature of his anvil was the 1/16" of sway from end to end, as well as side to side.

DavidP2211 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I don't know squat about smithing , as I am pretty much brand new as well. However, I learned long ago that when I ask a group of folks that have experience measured in decades telling me to do A but I still go and do B, I am pretty sure whatever decision I made was the wrong one. Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
