 Hi Tyler:
I guess I am putting too much about nothing, I just like to know all, LOL, does yours have the stamp like in the enclosed picture?? I assume the stamp didnt contact the left side and suppose it says " Superior". any idea how old this puppy is?????? Now all I have to do is study up on how to make a furnace. Lots of ideas out there, I am just Time Challenged.... LOL Brian... CP1040719.JPG  |

First picture is what I forge on now, it is one of the Harbor Freight Russian anvils and weighs 100lbs. Second picture is the anvil shaped, but really a boat anchor, lump of cast iron that it replaced.

This is a 80# piece of drop from cutting a hole in a steel plate. No one said an anvil has to have the standard anvil shape.

Nice! That reminds me of the thousands of pounds worth of slugs that went into the scrap hopper at my shape cutter job. I did manage to coax a few pieces to follow me home however  The attached pic shows my plate anvil that was cut from one such slug. The total weight of the original slug was over 500 pounds

These are the three anvils in my shop currently. I had an 80lb vulcan as well which I sold to a beginner at the new england blacksmiths spring meet at the beginning of this month, the same day picked up my current anvil. This is my main anvil, a 150lb peter wright http://www.tharkis.com/images/anvil.jpg this is the anvil which I used before that, an older 125lb peter wright http://www.tharkis.com/images/anvil2.jpg and this is the anvil which my brother gets to use so he doesnt ding my others. A 4140 cuttof with feet welded on it. I need to build a new stump to bolt it to still though. http://www.tharkis.com/images/4140anvil1.jpg |

Very sporting of you to allow your brother to use one of your anvils!
