Always buy any Peter Wright. If you don't want it I will buy it from you.

OMG is that snow on the ground!! Holy hell...it was 90* here today =/.
Oh...the anvil....
BUY IT!!
Trust me...working on a broken faced REAL anvil will be a million times better than whatever you're using now. I could never have forged out that Japanese blade without my post anvil. Besides....if you don't like it you can always double the price and sell it to Matt!
>D

Ive seen anvils in a lot worse shape than that one....I say go for it. $150 aint too much. Wonder what it would cost to get it re-faced later?

Buy it. It doesn't need to be refaced, just polished. That little chip ain't semprini.
That chip on the steel plate is relatively minor, I have a big one with almost an eight of the face gone and it still works.
Peter-Wright. If Matthew doesn't buy it I will, and double your money.

Take a look at the anvil face in this habaki tutorial lol: home.comcast.net/~jeshern/habakimaking.htmIt's smooth...but it's not pretty. Until he got his post anvil, that was his favorite anvil to work on =). Cris

Leave it, maybe take an 120 grit disc to clean the rust off, but really working on it will do the same.

If you simply MUST get it fixed, take it to a engineering company and ask them to surface grind it. You can also get them to fill the chips in with hard-facing arc welding rods and then dress them back to shape with your angle grinder. The bick can be cleaned up with an angle grinder as well.
But whatever you do, don't f**k it up. Thats a nice anvil, and a proper tool. Treat it with respect.

oh Matt how could u even think i would lay a finger on her without your consent i just thought that an anvil was supposed to have a nice flat face and if it had a bunch of dents and dings it would transfer over to your work. so yea i can work on it the way it is but are there any anvil tools that i should consider getting?

Lol Nah you know just look after it. Get yourself a hot-cut Hardie, a bending fork and a top and bottom fuller. All of these will be useful in your blademaking. The hardie is useful for cutting stock to size and cropping excess material, the bending fork is useful for correcting minor bends in the work and the fullers are great for drawing thick stock and necking in tangs when drawing them out.
