Decided to switch from a cast steel anvil to a forged one for my main shop anvil.
The cast one had a dead ring and the face chipped on a cold piece of 1/2 inch stock. The forged one cost about $300 more but the rebound is way better. Anyone have tips for breaking in a new anvil face without messing it up?

Wow, that's one expensive lesson in rebound physics.

Oh man, that's a tough lesson to learn firsthand... I really feel for you on that one. The dead ring alone would've driven me crazy, but a chipped face on top of it is just salt in the wound. At least the forged one sounds like it's treating you better so far.
