 hanton@prumyslovy-servis.cz is the sales guy at this company. They cast the Euroanvils and doa couple of sizes of swage block and also a stand for the blocks. Their current prices are (in euros): 80 Kg (176#) 627 60 Kg (132#) 431 That includes tax but obviously not carriage. I don't have a current price for the swage block stands. Following Lehman Brothers' debacle I expect the US Rouble will be in free fall again against the Euro so you need to check the current rate. I also know there is a price rise in the pipeline largely because the Czech currency is surprisingly firm against both the Euro and the US Rouble.

Sorry. Of course their website is Průmyslový servis Václav Hanton Kladno They are just a few miles west of Prague. Their Bulgarian agent is a joy to work with and you should all work via him. He can be contacted by PM to philip in china at this site (LOL)

I've used my Salt Fork block almost daily since I got it. Best money I spent in ages. Finnr

That swage that's only 105$ is pretty economical.. but I wonder as to the quality. I can't see blowing 500$+ on a swage unless I really thought I was going to use it. But maybe some really would use it a great deal. Personally I just want the dishing forms.

Avadon, you can burn dishing forms into the end of a tree stump. They get bigger each time you use them but they do work.

i have one from saltfork. haven't used it much, but it's definitely worth the money, in terms of quality. like others have said, you will need to clean it up. it comes a little rough on the surfaces.

Dishing forms without blocks that I own/use but didn't pay more than scrap metal price for: Wood Bottoms of scrapped high pressure gas tanks, O2, N2, Argon, etc lifting rings and tow rings---some will need to have the collar at the base of the ring ground flat to the face so they will sit flat Punchouts from *large* Heavy steel---I have some punchouts for 1/2" plate about 6" in dia that make a great dishing form. Finally the top of a large valve lifter---about 3" in diameter.
