[TheForge] Crowdsourcing Question

[Bob Ehrenberger]

The heal is broken off with about 8" of the face missing. It looks just like 
the broken Hay-Budden that is pictured in "Anvils in America".

I cut a piece off the fork that has about 4" of full thickness and then 
about 7" of the tapered section.  Because I always wanted a double horn 
anvil I went ahead and shaped the new heal to a point.  I've also already 
cut the hardie and pitcheral holes, so once it is welded on and fill in it 
will be done.

I welded a new heal on my demo anvil (135lb Mouse Hole) about 14 years ago 
and it has held up pretty good. Of course the demo anvil only gets used on 
weekends.  If this anvil turns out it may become my everyday anvil and my 
170lb Hay-Budden will become a back up.

Broken how?
