January 2, 20206 yr I've long noticed how anvils in use seem to attract other anvils. They are like Decoys for the TPAAAT. I had an anvil once that had a bunch of "crush damage" it had seen hard use in the mines in AZ.
January 11, 20206 yr Author What with the wind blowing in ~25mph gusts, I figured reassembling and firing the forge might not be wise. Instead I wire-brushed the 150 and BLO'd it. I've never used that stuff... it smells like fish funk and must hahaha... I think I prefer Sea-Foam fogging oil. Ahhh, oh well. I found an anchor. Whether an inspection mark or a sign of naval service, it is still awesome. I found a couple points that look suspiciously like cracks. I'll have to perform some verification before repair. Regardless, it is still a sweet anvil. I also used the MAP torch on some small stock just because. Noticed the decreased rebound, but it still worked!
January 13, 20206 yr if i remember correctly the anchor stamps means that it was in use for the military. Damian Stil
