ForgingH Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hey guys I have the use of an anvil( my dad's) and the face is practically nonexistent. It seems to have been ripped off or never even put on. Can I hire someone to weld a steel plate on? Is that a good idea? Any ideas about the manufacturer? I plan to use it for weekend use as often as possible, I'm still a newbie, and I'm guessing it weighs 70# or so. Ask for more details and I'll add them. All replies will be greatly appreciated. Great thanks, H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Southern Crescent: body is cast iron, steel face. Yes you can hire someone to reface that anvil. Commercially it will probably only cost several times the cost of buying a decent new anvil. If money is a concern may I commend to your attention: And note you can still use that anvil for it's hardy hole and horn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Save that one for a nice garden ornament. As TP said, doing it even remotely right will cost more than a decent used comparable anvil. Sometimes you have to live with just the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgingH Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Alright, not exactly what I hoped for, but thank you for the info. I finally bought a 10lb sledgehammer head. We'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
