Shoutout to my first anvil from a garage sale, which went from a rusty doorstop to my main tool after 3 months of grinding and oiling.
The change happened because I finally took the advice from an old guy at the Tacoma guild meeting who said, 'Kid, just keep hitting it with a wire wheel until your arm falls off, then soak it.'

That Tacoma guild guy's advice saved you three months of guesswork, didn't it?

I used to roll my eyes at the old-timer advice and figured I knew better. But after three months of elbow grease on that anvil, I gotta admit he was dead right. Sometimes you just gotta trust the guy who's been doing it for forty years.
