Nice old anvil

Whilst forming the copper, did you have to anneal the copper during the forming process? I wondered if it would work harden or if it was ductile enough to form well without annealing?

Won't the iron handle rust quickly when in contact with copper?

Please shorten your vid by deleting the foot pumping. TALK, we can’t see or understand what you’re doing. Get the camera closer to the anvil so we can see how you form the metal. Ya got the skills, just need a little help making videos.
