Gandalfgreen Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just finished sanding down paint off top of my anvil not sure if found a flaw or just a blemish if anyone knows in pic down below. Next off to store for spray bottles to start coating forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Looks to me like some inexact grinding, but in a spot on the anvil that doesn't usually get much use. I'd leave it alone for now, at least until you've had a chance to use the anvil some more. If it turns out to be a problem, you can always address that later.

Frosty Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Ditto John's opinion. It's not a place that's likely to see heavy hammering so not likely to be a problem. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Now we need to get you a decent anvil stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalfgreen Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Thanks I just was not sure and was worried doesnt look like crack but definitely a groove, fissure, or grinder gouge and being new didnt want to do anything before was too late. And I agree John I been looking at all different kinds so can use hopefully a good piece a scrap a know what to do. After using your metal one definately look8ng go that route.

Just no reason to get ahead of yourself, if it's a problem you'll notice something different and you know where you can ask about it. Frosty The Lucky.

Aren't there easier ways to say you wanted to do something without using double negatives? Before you presented me an irresistible temptation of have fun with you I took you to mean you didn't want to chance damaging your anvil without knowing more. Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I don't remember the next few weeks. The first thing I recall pretty clearly is Abby Deb's service and therapy dog. I remember her chin on my knee and scratching her head. Then people and things started coming into focus. I'd have to ask Deb in which hospital or special care facility I was a guest.
