  Awesome! Ive been asking blacksmiths about this, they say that you cant. I wish i saw this before i bought my steel anvil, i really like the sound of an iron anvil with a steel face. Thats how a lot of old wrought iron anvils were done, welded steel face.

  Glad you enjoyed! There were some surface cracks in the face due to the nature of the wire, but I spoke with the people who bought it some time later and they said it held up well. Still treat it as an experiment! Good luck. 🙂

  It’s really refreshing to see a regular ol’ blacksmith that gets the job done without having to have a 40X40 fully insulated top of the line shop with $100,000 worth of specialty tools that are only good for one thing. Thank you for showing everyone who is thinking about getting into forging that they can do it.

  Great job! I've been debating repairing my old Vulcan, it has some pretty bad edge damage, but not as bad as yours. It's a bit of a family heirloom, purchased by my grandfather about 1910, so I've been a bit reluctant to take a chance and possibly ruin it. I have used it the last 20 years or so only for non ferrous metals, but it's really no longer suitable for even that. My biggest concern is delaminating the forged welded steel face since vulcans used such a thin layer... but I think I'm gonna give it a shot.

  Hi, so, I followed (as far as I know) exactly what you did on my anvil, and the welds keep poping off. What am I doing wrong?

• 
  @caveofskarzs15444 жыл бұрын

  Interesting. I can't say I'm an expert on anvil repair, so I can only guess with my limited knowledge. If the welds are popping off, it's possible you may need to adjust the settings of your welder. Otherwise, make sure the anvil is preheated, and have it cool down slowly after you are done. You might also try some dedicated cast iron welding rod for the first layer if you are welding a Vulcan. If none of those work, I'm afraid I'm not sure. Cast iron and wrought iron quality can vary from anvil to anvil.

  I appreciate the advice! My anvil is a Southern Cresent, they have cast body's and steel faces, but when i got mine, it had been "repaired" the untempered super brittle, badly welded face plate broke off on my second project, exposing some extensive damage to the edges very similar to the damage on yours. Two more questions, one is hotter better? Like Should I just heat the anvil up as much as possible? And two if I use nickle alloy rod, would it be easier to weld the steel to the nickel then the cast iron? Again thank you for your help

•

  @@tyjones8978 Ah, I have seen a couple of those anvils. Didn't know they were cast. Hotter is better with cast iron, but keep in mind that too much will overtemper any steel. As for the nickel rod, I would say weld to the cast iron first then the steel.
