Wanna see an anvil or 2 or 200 ?
So I have been shopping for anvils for months now. I ran across this and thought some of you might like to look at a collection other than razors. I found it amazing myself.

Fun!
I've got an anvil that's probably from the middle ages, to bad in a bad shape, otherwise I would use it.
No pics, it's at my fathers place, sorry!Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.

Mine's this one.
250 pounds, 1 US dollar per pound
Btw, it's interesting that the very old anvils in that collection resemble small altars.Last edited by Bruno; 04-23-2013 at 10:44 AM.

They tell a story about Dan Blocker, from Bonanza, when he was in High School. The other kids made fun of him because of his size; until one day in Shop Class he picked up the Anvil and walked out with it!

Thanked: 495 Tin anvil
Hey guys check this one out. I went over to one of my vendors and I saw this huge anvil on the bench. I remarked "Boy you dont see one like that too often. He told me to try to lift it, and much to my surprise I picked it up with ease. He made the entire thing out of sheet metal as a practice too his sheet metal skills. Welded it with stick as well. Totally blew my mind. Way cool.

I'm incidentally making a small anvil out of old rail right now, it's a dirty job!

This is my home anvil a bit much but it was stuffed in the back of my shop un-used so I cleaned it up. surfaced ground the top and its serves me well as a peening anvil.
