  • @leonboss8147
    @leonboss8147 7 років тому +5

    do you still have your power hammer ? Don't mark over the egde of the anvil cold steel. One day you will blunt them or do a hugde chip. Btw.Nice axe. One more thing.....i can see anvil in the back what brand it is ? How much it weight and why you are not forging on it ?

    • @rovtarforge4004
      @rovtarforge4004  7 років тому +12

      yes, I do still have the powerhammer, I will do more videos with it in the future. Don't worry about the edges, they are welded on with hard facing rods, they do wear with time but it is a really convenient way to mark material and I can always repair them. the anvil in the back is one I made myself and I only use it for finer stuff and more accurate work since it has the flatter face. thank you for commenting
