Show me your anvil

[Jacob]

I've wondered if mine is from Old World Anvils. Chances are pretty good. I bought it off the back of a pickup truck. There are lots of nice anvils posted here, but my anvil-envy is for the hornless german anvil posted early on. These london pattern versions are everywhere.

This is an anvil one of our Association members fabbed up a couple months ago. Buying and shipping an anvil to Alaska is really expensive and he found a piece of decent plate to work with.

The body is welded up from two pieces of 1 1/2" plate and the face is T-1. He spent about 30 hrs start to finish, not counting hunting up the plate and driving to my place and back to weld it up.

It weighs 235lbs.

This is my first "anvil". I found on a job site a couple'o years ago.

I also have two post anvils that I made from scrap parts of heavy equipment.

Main shop anvil. 156 lb Arm and Hammer. Stand is 10" well casing with a 2" plate welded to it. Plate was about 120 lbs. Three angle iron legs around the base for stability. When I got this anvil all four feet had 1/2" holes drilled in them. I would never go to the trouble to do that but I was sure gonna use them. Anvil is bolted through the 2" plate.

There is a 132 lb Peter Wright that floats around the shop on various benches and tables. Usually set pretty high off the ground for really light work. My traveling anvil is a 128 lb Hay Budden and it lives in the van.

I also have an anvil with the horn broke off. Can't read much of the name and even Mr. Postman couldn't identify it based on my description but it is definitely English and still weighs over 100 lb. It is usually on the heavy vise table right by the forge or weighing something down on my welding table. Best anvil I ever bought, it was only $6!!!

I have two. The smaller one was a seriously abused one that I dug up froma hill side at the inlaws retirement home/property. I also dug up my leg vice from next to the anvil. I stubbed my toe on one of the feet of the anvil and started digging.

This one is my russian special. The stand is a full sheet of 3/4 inch plywood. The center block is wide enough to hold the whole anvil. I had to add 3-inch blocks under each of the feet when I realized that my back-aches were from leaning over the anvil.
