My "shop" anvil is a bit over 500# and my protable anvil is 91 pounds. Which one sees the most use is dependent on what I get to do... Thomas

Shop anvil ( used most) is 148 lb Hay Budden. Trailer anvil is 115 lb Hay Budden. New anvil ( Fathers Day ) is stamped to weigh 203 lbs but I'm gonna put it on the trade scales up to the LP place to check it. i have a couple of small ones ( actually one good small Enderes about 5 lbs ) that the grandkids will get to start on.

I seem to use my 177 lb fisher most...I love the horn...but started with a 150 PW and still like it a lot.Sold a 80+ lb sweden to a fellow and kicked myself everysense...it was like new.But hey...he xxxx neared cryed when he got it and it was worth letting it go. Gotta spread the fun around...right? For horseshoeing I use a 75 lb wide face NC and really like it...perticularly when I have to pick it up...when I'm ready to move on. It's my only marked up anvil...learned to hit solid faced on it and too do a bit to much cold shoeing when in a hurry....them ol' cowboy ways are hard to shake. lee |

250 PWright for shop anvil and 100 lb Hay Budden for portable. Both are similarly tooled for various hardy tools and the bigger one has sleeves to allow using all the tools from the smaller anvil. I have owned several others including a 200 Fisher and a Mousehole that appeared to date from the late 1600's.

Right now I use an 82 pound Trenton. Not because I like it, but because that's all I have. It's way to small for what I use it for, but right now I have a Chuck Robinson Anvil on the way!!!!!
