    Of all the anvil restoration projects I've seen, this is by far the best. You took heat and type of electrode in to consideration and that anvil deserves at least that.

    I have a beautiful old Arm & Hammer that's in great shape (face still very flat and free of dents) but the edges are so worn. Not chipped, just rounded away and uneven. It makes fullering a pain, and I've been wanting to repair it. This video gives me confidence that it can be done!

  • @jonathanmarklee10

    Finally got my hands on a 1800s mousehole 100 lber this morning! I've been in search of one that was in decent condition for a while now and I finally found one with a nice flat face, the horns intact, one nice and crisp Edge, and one radiused Edge, all feet intact, and the heel is not chipped! Much thanks to you and your videos my friend! I've taken a lot of your advice on what to look for we want to pass on. Then without patience and your expertise helping me along, this would not have been possible. Couldn't be happier. Thanks a lot E C 👍

  • @jasonmotley7933

  • @jameslucas6589
    @jameslucas6589 6 лет назад

    Great job. I just noticed this and hesitated before watching as I need to repair my Peter Wright anvil in the same manner and was wondering what rod would work best. I thought 7014 would work but be soft. Thanks for the pre heat step as well. Now all I need is a welder and torch set which I once had but no longer posses. Such is life. I guess it's time to find a good welder ( person). Great video.

  • @ChrystianGuy
    @ChrystianGuy 6 лет назад

    I want to thank you. I followed your advice on telling the most people when you are looking for an anvil and after 3 weeks, one was given to me. It was sitting in a barn, gathering rust. 115 pounds of memories! lol I'm picking it up next week!

    Absolutely amazing work. Love watching your videos. I want an anvil so bad.

  • @giblet2955
    @giblet2955 7 лет назад

    This is Absolutely a fantastic video!!! I repaired a beat to death, cracked heel, worn through the face plate into the wrought, old Trenton. I used Amtec Railtec rod for filler, Amtec 64 rod (no more than 4 passes) for hard surface and edges. It is holding up well. I am not savy enough to have video'd the process. I am told by purists that I reduced the collector value of my anvil. Your method of stagger-spacing the weld lines is genius. I wasn't smart enough to do that and simply stopped after 2 inches to let the whole thing cool. It took forever!!!!
    I so appreciate your channel and thank you for taking the time to share your craftsmanship with us!
    All the Best

    Love your videos... I'm at the 'looking for my first anvil phase of my love for blacksmithing' and your videos have helped tremendously. I am currently trying to decide between 3 different used anvils I have found and am in the process of building my forge. I currently am leaning towards a propane forge. What are the pros/cons of gas fired vs coal fired?

After this I think I may just dress it a little and clean it up well. Thank you for another awesome video. Can't wait for the next one! Oh, and tell your boy he's done a great job so far as well!

    EC, I love the videos. I recently bought my first house and am interested in setting up a small shop in the garage. I realize I'll want a vise but have no idea what qualities to seek. How about a new video talking about vises and what to look for in an old one?

  • @Mr.BigweldNBTX
    @Mr.BigweldNBTX 3 года назад

    So informative , this video is exactly what I needed. I recently picked up an old anvil and the edges are broken plus the rear of it is completely broken off and missing. I could use some advice on what type of steel to use to weld on the missing section. I thought about using some A 36 mild steel 1" plate stacking them for width and welding it on, but now I'm thinking it might be too soft. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Then ill just use an end cut on a plate for an upsetting block and stepface so i dont marr up the face. Just hoping it wont be too hard to weld with a 220 mig setup
