Join me as I take you along as I DISCOVER this amazing anvil, fully restore & repair it, and finally build an AMAZING stand so I can put it back to work here at Salvage Workshop!

I'll show you that anvils CAN be repaired, ground on, and even welded on! As well as some of my creative ideas for an anvil base, how to quiet an anvil's ring, and MANY other tips along the way!

I recently discovered this anvil abandoned at an old farm, and the owners honored me by allowing me to bring it back to my workshop where I'll give it a new lease on life!

This anvil is a 305lb Peter Wright Anvil made in England sometime around 1909 or soon after. Over all it was already in VERY good condition for its age and lack of care its received over the last 50+ years, but there was still a great deal of room for improvement!

If you want to see the full discovery story, go watch Rescuing Old Iron Episode 2 here on the Salvage Workshop YouTube Channel, and you'll see just where this old beast was forgotten!

Please enjoy! I know I did!
