    You could still get the VFD in on it, Charlie! Lots of volume from those fire-hoses!

    After reading about 'hosing' the hot metal down the thought about using the Fire Dept's hose actuall came to mind. However I don't know how 'request friendly' Charlie's Fire Dept is.

    Probably more fun than burning down vacant old structures and practicing putting them out?

Most anvils are heat teated with a water fall technique, but we are talking a lot of water and anvils in 100 pound to 500 pound range, not a small 20 pound or less chunk.
    i will bet that chunk of steel in the OP is a bit heavier than 20 pounds.

    Not sure, as I don't know the dimensions, but the steel block itself I doubt is over 50 pounds. Be nice to know the dimensions and then I could tell what it weights.

    We want to know. If someone buys or in this case makes an anvil the first question is 'How big is it?'

    Just looking at the pics, a wild guess would be 3" thick, 8" tall, 6" wide, that would put it at 40 pounds not counting the stand or welded base plate. Call it 41 pounds without the stand. Would love to know the dimensions though, just for curiosity's sake.

    It is 4 x 7 x 6.5 about 53 pounds by my math

    For comparison my round post anvil that I heat treated and quenched in water was 3.5 round x 9.25 long, about 26 pounds.

    I am leaning toward water hose now, If they can do the jominy end quench on O1, I reckon I can use a water hose on my chunk of metal.
