Your videos consistently are well produced, packed with knowledge, and cut with dry humor. Great stuff! Thanks for your (and your team's) work!

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.

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 👍

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!

@giblet2955 7 жыл бұрын

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 Kevin King from Fayetteville Arkansas.

Man was I excited for this video. I've been tormenting over wether or not I should recon my hay budden. the edges aren't too terribly chipped or broken the face is just awfully beat up and nowhere near flat. 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!

Thank you for this!!! 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!

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.

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?
