Nice work and properly done. Rob Gunter method is the way to go. My main anvil is similar to the anvil here in your video. I got it at a barn sale in Holland, NY in May 2001 for $65.00 So far I have used it as is and see no need to do anything to it as it is in great shape. Peter Wright 2 - 1 - 17
Thanks, I'm not familiar with his method but will definitely check it out. Sounds like you got a brilliant bargain there! They are lovely anvils, have fun!
congrats on your new tool / toy. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God Bless.
So it's been 5 months since this was posted and I have a few questions. I'm sure you've heard the argument that you should weld on an anvils exspecialy with a SMAW (shielded metal arc welder) or stick welder as the heat affected zone will soften parts of the face. How has it held up so far? Any noticeable loss of rebound along the edges? It looked to be in really nice shape, I personally would have left it. That being said it sure did look fantastic when you were done. I have a 155 pound PW, and I liked it so much I got rid of my Hay Budden of the same size. I felt my PW was superior, and I sold the HB for a crazy amount. I'm amazed how much those will fetch to the right buyer.
I sure wonder what the scribe "patent" is for. New invention! Like nobody else made any sort of anvil looking anvils, anvils that work like one, or anvil shaped objects before..
I used plain mild steel rods instead of hard facing rods as I like soft edges on my anvils. It is much safer when I have other people using it who are new to blacksmithing as it dents instead of sending chips flying.

Looks good!
Love this video, great film work and flawless restoration technique, really great job! Keep up the good work.
Beautiful job an anvil like that needed the love. Well done.
The harden plate which had been forge welded to form the top face of those old peter wrights is lucky to be 1/2 an inch thick bad idea to grind it .
it was in great shape when you got it. now it is in perfect shape. real nice

Niiiice! Sounds like it rings a bit though, might need to mount it tighter and/or put a buffer material under it.

Nice job,
What a beaut!
magnífica restauració, enhorabona!
Very nice job
There should be mandatory prison time given to anybody who gets within 10 feet of any anvil with an angle grinder. Watching that was sickening.
Nice anvil

What welding rod did you use?
I used plain mild steel rods instead of hard facing rods as I like soft edges on my anvils. It is much safer when I have other people using it who are new to blacksmithing as it dents instead of sending chips flying.
👍👍👍👍
Trusty parkside angle grinders
Yeah you can’t go wrong with them for the price haha
