Anvil find & grind
« on: September 05, 2016, 07:09:00 PM »
Doug and I picked this old broken down anvil today and gave it some new life.  It was a 180 lb Trenton that had the back end completely broken off.  The top was not delaminating and it held pretty decent rebound so we bought it and took it back to the shop.  I put it up on the mill and used a carbide bit to square up one side and then rounded over the other chipped up edge.  I didn't feel too bad about milling the edge of this old broken anvil, and I think I will get some good use out of that crisp new edge.


A few pics

   

   

   

   

And one random forging pic of Doug with a Fisher anvil
