Marc1 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I think that's called resurfacing a file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Why can't they just chainsaw one out of a log and paint that?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Geist Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Certainly no surprise this guy is planning to make knives Some people should not be allowed near tools. There really ought to be a law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernsmith Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
