Very nice and informative video. Shows a very nice alternative to get a "good enough anvil". I fabricated my anvil by arc welding (full penetration most of it 7018 rod) chunks of steel and hard facing rod was very expensive, as you said "cost more that I'd like to admit". You invested a lot of work in this project and with just a bit more work you could have started in a bigger cast iron anvil and get a "more substantial" final product. Thanks for the video

Can it be done? Sure. I wouldn't recommend it. Hardfacing wire is more expensive than tool steel. For about $45 you can get a 1/2" piece of tool steel for the top. That's easier and will likely perform better. Add a hardy and pritchel if desired. Harden and temper. Bevel the top of the cast iron anvil substantially and then weld your way out to the edge. I added a 1" thick top to the big chunk of mild steel that was my starter anvil, and it's awesome. I got it from my steel supplier - it was a piece of cut off from a special order - for $20. Get to know your local steel supplier, they are to a smith what a butcher is to a chef.

Cave of Skarzs I’d go with the copper bar for the price point and re usability though. I’d get a couple pieces of 3” by 1/4” or 5/16” or 3/8” flat copper bar (whatever thickness your metal supply store has. The thicker the better). You can also clamp it under holes that need filled in steel. You won’t ever be sorry you had them! Ps if you gap the bar with a piece of welding wire or shim on the edge of that anvil the weld metal will flow through a little giving you just a little material to grind off. Also let the bar cool before removing it with a hammer cause it’s pretty soft when it’s hot lol. Cheers

With all the cheap cast iron anvils out there, it's good to know they can be made useful. Now I know what to do with the 91 pounds of cast iron I have that is shaped like an anvil.

Why did you use a gas shield with flux cored wire? I'm a newbie and just bought a hay budden 80pd anvil that is damn near toast but I'm going to try and reface it just not sure how yet. Do you think I could just grind it down flat and it will work. Its got a divet in the center probably 1/2 inch and sound dead in the center. The face is mushroomed out like a lead bullet lol. Most would say I should have passed on it but it was $100 I couldn't resist. Any insight and suggestions would be a blessing and the foundation for a game plan to having a working anvil. Thanks in advance if you'd lend your opinion and knowledge

@caveofskarzs1544

Well, the face-hardening wire only came in flux core. In any case, shielding gas doesn't hurt flux core. As for your Hay Budden repair, I would first like to die inside at the damage you described. . . (Sounds like one I saw on eBay. Did you buy it from there?) I can't say I have repaired damage that severe on those older anvils, but I can give you my opinion. With a divot that deep, it may not be the best option to try to grind down to it. Bringing it up level with the rest will probably make for a more usable anvil, because on my Hay Budden, the hardened face is only half an inch thick. You could probably grind or cut off the mushroom, especially since that is likely full of cracks as it is. If you keep what is left of that steel plate there and weld on top of it, it will probably be an easier weld as opposed to welding to the wrought iron body. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions ask away.
