Hey guys!
So I ended buying the anvil for $450 but I feel great about it and can't wait to start forging! Unfortunately I got sick over the weekend and the anvil is still in my trunk :(
From what I tested it is in wonderful shape, the sway back was very minimal as was the metal removed from the top plate. It has no welding work that I could tell and rings beautifully. For the rebound test I drop a 1/2" ball bearing from 10" and it bounced from 8-9" consistently!
Pics will be posted when its out of the car and I'm back on my feet again!
Happy Forging!
