[TheForge] Fw: Anvil repair

[Jason Nass]

I believe the Vulcans and a few others were made this way Mike, they'd leave
a couple lugs on the back of the plate, and then put it into the sand mold,
pre-heat the plate and mold then pour. It produces fairly decent results,
though nowhere near as good as forged or welding the plate to a cast body.

I seem to remember ( and Seeming to remember is happening more and more)
that some of the tool steel tops were welded to the base of cast anvils by
placing the heated steel plate in the mold and pouring the cast over it.

It might work, but I cannot find any corroborating documents in my piles of
crap.

At any rate it sounds less nasty than trying to forge weld a 3/4 inch plate
onto a base.

Am I remembering something real or just a dream?
