My Score

Found this anvil off craigslist. Paid $80 for it. From the Markings its a 130# fisher anvil with a decent face but pretty bad edges.

Nice grab! Get some hardfacing rod and weld those corners up and she'll be good as new!

Do you or anyone have any good info about how to hardface?

I would not touch it. Hard facing takes alot of time. the anvil must be pre-heated to about 450*F before welding. Fishers are cast iron bodies with tool steel tops. I wish my first anvil was in that condition. Try using it before considering repair. The damage is very minimal. if you have any questions; go to iforgeiron.com. There is a wealth of knowledge on that site. Bye the way; you could triple your money on that anvil. i hope this helps.
