What (not) to do to improve on an anvil :)

A lot of time you see guys who find  an anvil idle, used as a garden ornament and rescue her from her slumber and put her to work ... 

This is ... well ... sort of the other way around. :)

Enjoy!

 

Why can't they just chainsaw one out of a log and paint that?!?


I like the sound of that anvil face taking the teeth off of his rusty old file.......

I wonder how long his friend will have to endure the stink of the paint burning off.

Certainly no surprise this guy is planning to make knives:rolleyes:

Some people should not be allowed near tools. There really ought to be a law:angry:

The best part is when he says it will take a minute or so to "level it" ha ha ...

at least he sounds sincere and asks for "pointers and tips from any old blacksmith out there" :) 

Notice how thin the face is.  I'd guess it had been resurfaced at least once before removing 50 or more years of use life.

Well he may have worn his file out lol but at least he took the minimum amount off the anvil and actually got it to a usable state without grinding it to smithereens like so many others do.  Good for him!
