thats why i have a #208 Hay budden for my shop anvil. right now they are both in the shop, but i use that hay- budden, learners use the P.w.

trentons and hay buddens are a LOT alike...

i find this interesting because mine has an 8 stamped on one of its feet. i had been wondering about htis for some time. what is it???

just because they had cast steel dont mean that they used it. it was probably too expensive to use.

i personally would cut it in half(with a band saw), and weld it back together with real big S.M.A.W electrodes. then weld a piece of tooled steel( from your local scrap yard) on to the face using the same kind of electrodes.bevel the steel< not the tooled steel, nd clean it up, so that there is no space between it. just a thought...

thats made from a railroad track? how do u think that they made it? probably milled right.

my H.B had one i figured that a P.W would have one too... i found the name english weight, all that. its on the side not on the face...

ive searched for it over and over and cant find it.

haha. i have a bit of a soft spot for hay buddens. I think that u should maybe let it go to me :)

i dont know. seems interesting, but id say not likely. hay-budden had no troubles selling their anvils. they already had a good rep. and lots of envious smiths that wanted one. its loke the leupold of rifle scopes... cept they arent as good as they once were..

already tried. cant seem to figure out cameras... or computers. it looks like most p.w anvils itsw size.

i was guessing the weight. he actually gave it to me and sid that i could do a hundred dollars of work for him, and call it even it is eighty pounds.78.9 to be exact... what would yall pay for an anvil like that???

always ask fore i take anything. always ask permisssion before ,if any body has anything to do with the place in 20 years ,orso.

hey yall, i jsut aquired a new anvil, a peterwright. i would never sell it , but curious to know if i paid a good price. what would u guys say would be a good price for a guestimation of 100, not bad condition, fairly minor chip in the side. anything is apppreciated. thx, willie

those are some pretty good ones! Am I the only one that snoops through old buildings and such in search of blacksmtihng/antique tools???...

Im your man. i'd prefer to stick weld it though. I do a better job at stick welding. can you get it to clarksburg? If you can I can do it for free.

you might be a blacksmith if... the only time you have ever been in trouble with the law is for trespassing in an old abbandoned barn.....again. if you go to a fancy restraunt for your anniversary and you get in trouble with your wife for saying that you could make their shelve brackets, napkin rings, metal wall art, etc... better. if your wife makes you take your clothes off at athe front porch... nto because she thinks that a workin man is sexy because she doesnt like the smell of coal... if you think that they should make coal air-freshners, cologne, aftershave, etc... posts 1-70 have been copied to the YMB section

one 6inch jaw for free! another for 60. get on ebay.

dont know havent had that happen. do what i am doing... start an anvil collection.

It kinda makes it hard when you dont have any walls...It gets cold

whoah whaoah!!! you guys get suckers at your scrap yard??? My uncle owns the one i go to , and I still dot get a sucker! I think that"ll Ill keep my HB. Im just not ready for that kind of quality. wow... I cant say that with a strait face...

I recently aquired a champion 400 blower, and wire brushed it aup real nice. I just oiled it with the wd-40 and it looked real good. probably should paint it though.

wifes christmas cookies will make him search the barn for anymore!!!

sorry I didnt see the other sling shot ideas...
