caotropheus Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Got "me" self two new toys : A hornless anvil (45 kg) and a heavy blacksmith vice. Both of them arrived from Germany last week. Measurements are metric. The anvil is in good condition except for the working surface that is heavily pitted. Probably it was left outdoors for several decades. Probably even worse, it was used as a decorative element in a garden as a base for a pot plant or something, where minerals accumulate and corrosion is more intense. I am going to clean it and use it the way it is. If there are any markings, I will let you know. How old you guys think it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLiner Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I like it. I am sure with your experience making anvils you will have no problems fixing or making a work around to fix the pitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caotropheus Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 I forgot to refer. In current condition, rebound about 90%. Lets see if rebound improves after electrolysis/rust cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
