[TheForge] anvil repair

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Goat condolences Andy.
My question is how many successive years of hard beating without cracking, denting or distorting?
Anvils should survive many generations of use unsullied.

Not that long.  The beads are certainly more resistant to the wheel, but not appreciably so.  It's not like grinding HSS, that is for certain.

On a sad note, our goat Pearl died today.  Probably enterotoxemia.

One really weird thing, though, she's been dead since 3:30 and no rigor.  Then in the twilight I keep thinking I'm seeing movement.  Had me unnerved a bit but there is zero breath.

She was a very good goat.
