Watch me restore and fabricate a stand for this 15kg italian “pig” style anvil.
I found this cool anvil at a local flea market a couple months back, had to have it because it’s the exact same shape as my big 85kg anvil that I use for forging.
This small one will not be used for forging, I mounted it so high to be comfortable when working on small and precise stuff, like centerpunching, riveting bolsters, texturing softer metals and so on. Maybe I’ll use the horn when making jewels or forging small parts but that’s not the primary use.
Of course this is not the right height for an anvil you want to forge with. It’s something I wanted for convenience, so I don’t have to bend all the way over my big anvil to accomplish the task mentioned above.
