Italian “Pig“ Anvil Restoration and Stand Fabrication

In this video I finally flatten the 75 kg (165 lbs) forged anvil I got 6 years back when I first started blacksmithing. I ended up removing only from the surface to get most of the working area 100% flat so I can now use this as my clean and super flat anvil for fine and small work. This is also the reason why I made the stand this tall taking the face of the anvil up to 90cm high so I don’t have to bend over quite as much when doing finer forging work. For heavy work I do have my other monster anvil at the right height: This is something I wanted to do for more then a year now, every step of this project took a real long time but I am now super happy to have this other cool anvil to work with when I need! And if you are curious the base took 6 bags of 25 kg pre-mixed concrete so with around 10kg of steel frame it ended up weighting around 160 kg (353 lbs). All together anvil and stand sits at around 235 kg (518 lbs).
