CTaylorJr Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Does anyone see an issue with me grinding and sanding the horn and shelf on this anvil? The marks are making me crazy and it pi$$es me off when I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 if it is a PW then the shelf and horn are not steel and so can be cleaned up if you must. The cutting shelf is pretty much supposed to have a bunch of marks saving the face from such damage. The horn doesn't look that bad but it's *your* anvil do with it what you will.

CTaylorJr Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thomas, I trust your judgement. I've been a member her for many years, but only started posting recently. Your posts are usually on target The thing is, when this anvil left me, it was pristine. Now, when I see the marks, it just makes me mad. The face is t salvageable. It laid in the mud for a "couple of years", according to a cousin. I just want to make her look good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 different strokes for different folks. Cleaning up that horn won't damage anything; it's just time you could be hammering hot steel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
