  • What size anvil is that ? It looks like my fisher 80 pounder.

  • @yoicho37660 Not sure, this was my friends anvil. It's around the 80lb mark though.

  • what are you using to heat the steel glowing orange? also, could i possibly forge a high carbon steel using your method? thanks.

  • @viper2788 A coal forge, and absolutely you can. I very seldom forge anything that's not high carbon steel these days...

  • I'm about to start metal working, how difficult is this project?

  • @TridentSurvival It varies for different people. The hardest part aside from the forge weld will be slitting and drifting the eye straight. I suggest if you're new to things like this, you start with a higher carbon steel such as drill rod to eliminate the forge weld, and that you drill 2 - 1/8" pilot holes close together exactly centered in the steel. This will guide your slitting chisel straight. Hope this helps.
