Thank you for all of your posts you have done over the years. You are a very good source for information on smithing. I live about 10 miles or so from a location where John Deere had one of his forges. My son and I caught the bug for blacksmithing on a visit to the historical site that is there when we visited it about 12 years ago. What started out as a hobby back then has turned into a full-blown obsession for both of us.

You are very welcome

As a beginner, 💯agree start dressing with some variety but don’t round off too much at first; if you find yourself always on the bigger radius sections and wanting even more softness, go back and dress a bit again, and keep forging and dressing until you find what you want. That’s also a reason I’m glad I started with one of these small and inexpensive but decent steel anvils (mine’s the HF Doyle double horn) because I can grind and adjust and fiddle with it and learn so I actually know what I want when I eventually upgrade.

I have the same anvil. I have not dressed it yet. Thank you for your comment here in addition to Roy's outstanding video.

I'm glad to see new videos for Sunday morning coffee.

More to come!

Thank you so much, Brother Roy! I really like the philosophy of leaving it relatively sharp and then adjusting in the future as needed. It's like what my mom always said about putting salt & pepper on our food: "You can always add more later, but you can't take it away."

Thanks Roy! Good morning!

Good morning 🌄

It took me a few years of working on it to finally know how I wanted to dress my Peter Wright, and to work up the courage to grind parts of it. Unfortunately, a previous owner or owners removed all the 90 degree spots, so I have to use a different anvil if I want a sharp shoulder. Great info, thanks, Roy!

Thank you for the detailed information.
Blessings abundant y'all

Same to you!

[@johnblanton-fd3jf]

Great and useful info! I recently had an old anvil refaced and will need to dress the edges, this video is a big help.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Glad you enjoyed it

This is a fantastic video. Maybe I missed it, but have you already covered this topic for South German/European anvils?

[@PatriotForgeOhio]

I started with a 55 pound vevor anvil. Its a bit soft but still in my shop doing its thing. I have railroad track i use most of the time now. Just built my own forging press.

[@johnblanton-fd3jf]

I started with RR rail and still use it for shaping projects on the radius edge , my main anvil is a Peter Wright 112# . Hammer On !

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Glad to hear your gearing up 💪 thanks for watching

[@billssmithy7352]

Got a 1870ish anvil from a naval shipyard. Price was right and it is functional, but edges are chipped and gouged. Pritchell hole broken off. Been using it for about a year but want to dress the edges. Suggestions?
