Hi I just signed up

[WagonMaster]

Thanks for the info, I made a couple knifes yesterday, And now I got to make some kinda tool so I can get the bevel on the knife cut straight. I'm getting there and having a great time learning. going to do some looking around and see if I can get some coal, and I also got to find a anvil. I have a friend that has one for sale,But he don't know what its worth, and he wanted to find out before sitting a price, then he'll shoot me a price, I don't have any idea what ones worth either.
Well boy's you all have a good day...

A friend of mine grinds the edge square, then scribes a line down the center and uses a belt sander to grind to the line. FWIW

True prices for anvils

[WagonMaster]

Well Boy's I found me a Anvil, And I hope I got a good deal on it. Not sure exactly what kind it is, I can make out the word Solid and can't make out the other words,it also has number's on it,I weighed it on Bathroom scales and it weighed around 60 pounds. It needs to be cleaned, I actualy bought it from another truck driver's son, His mother's father was into blacksmithing up in Ohio and when he passed away he left all of his stuff to the grandson, The grandson said he has all the tools and would fix me up with them when he gets a chance to dig them out. The Anvils been laying on the ground for a good number of years and has mud on it and a bunch of rust, I got to head up to Vermont tomorrow but when I get back I'll get out the WD-40 and a brass brush and clean her up. She has some dings, But is in pretty good condition from what I can tell. If you all got any idea of the name of it, I would sure like to know. And if I got beat on it,Let me know that to...Thanks ...Tom

I paid $100. dollars for it...

the number 3 . 8 -28 x 3 + 8 -say it should weigh 92 lbs, and denote it as an english anvil, solid wrought would be the stampings. It's a london pattern with laid on hard face.

Tom, welcome aboard. Get some Marvel Mystery Oil and a new package of scotch brite ( I use green ). Latex gloves if you wish. Spend an hour and you will be surprised how that anvil will shine up. You may find that anvil is an Arm and Hammer brand. Facing the horn, look on the foot ( right side ) for a number.
