That was a looooooonnnnnggggg time ago. It is the prettiest anvil I ever made.
I have had my 700 lb. "bridge" anvil project in limbo for 6 years. It needs many many hours of grinding and my back just can't do it any more. I will likely hire a student to rough out all the grinding. I got a short way into the hardfacing and discovered the wire had gotten humidified so I had lots of porosity. All that hardface needs to be ground out so I can redo it.
Ernie, what kind of rebound are you getting from it?
I remember when Ernie published it. Egad! That means we're all 10 years older! V
Once the 2 - 3 layers of hardfacing is complete you get a nice rebound from it.
