[TheForge] Anvil shaving 101

[Justin Fellenz]

Along the same lines...

my spare anvil is a 275 pound peter wright that's pretty flat but
seriously chipped up on te endges and more than a little dinged on the
face. I was thinking of hard surfacing it or at least grinding off the
chips to a nice rounded edge. Thoughts about hard surfacing?

I was also musing about whether it would be possible to reharden....I
wondered if you could build a good coal fire and heat it up by hanging
it upside down in the fire and then quench it and then temper...dunno,
pretty heavy piece of iron and I really don't have an idea about the
specs. Thoughts?
