I made a portable anvil, I had a big chink of O1 I bought a while back and have been wanting to do something with it.
I heated then air quenched with a couple of fans. I think the air cooled O1 will be good enough for an anvil.
Non-coated ceramic wool wigs me out a bit, I am glad it was a windy day and I have a good fitting respirator.
Everything but the welding rods and the nuts and bolts came from the scrap yard.
