@ilovebees3 Yes only at the very end of the peening process... No problem :)

@ndudman8 I need clarification. Do you do the elbow hinged "hardening" hammer blow s only one time at the very end of the entire peening process or do you also do the hardening blows after a completion of each "line" or only certain lines? Thanks

@ilovebees3 I don't often get damages, only when mowing with the 90cm around the house where there are sometimes concreate/metal things I forget about, but then I just use the pointed anvil, same way up as when I peen and straightem them out, or perhaps file them away abit if they are really bad (havn't done that yet this year). I think it makes sense to use what ever anvil you peen with to make the repair, helps keep the blades edge shape/profile the same. Just my opinion :)

Thank you foe response:

@ndudman8 My understanding is you need a FLAT wide anvil to make repairs with blade right side up as in mowing. But somebody has told me, you can make repairs on a CONVEX wide anvil with blade upside down.

Any thoughts ?

Also, can repairs be made with a narrow anvil ?

[ndudman8]

@ndudman8 otherwise I guess the procedure is going to be quite simular. Sorry I can't other more help to to :)

@ilovebees3 To be honest I only tried the flat anvil when I first got a cheap fake Austrian blade and really didn't know what I was doing, a friend visited also at the time and I asked her to peen it for me, she was a mower, and she really struggled so something was wrong (our skill level or the equipment I had, probably both :) ) As I've had good results fairly quickly with the pointed anvil I've never tried again with the flat one, I would jpersonally recomend trying a pointed one, but

Great great video - If using a wide anvil and cross peen hammer do you follow same basic Idea but with bevel side up ? Three passes along length of blade each one closer to edge, useing the shoulder joint in motion and elbow locked.

Final pass at edge using elbow joint in motion and shoulder locked.

Thank You

Translated to English for those interested

I have been peening for 24 years since the age of 10, and it seems to me it was a bad way, but now Im not peening, but just tickling it.
