Hi, my name's Patrick. Don't call me Pat, 'cause that's my father.
I stumbled upon this site looking for swage blocks, took a look around, and decided that I had to join.
I actually found the swage block I set out to find, just need to save up for it... check it out here. The only problem I see, is that I could probably make something similar for far less, with better materials. I'm not a big fan of cast iron. If it was cast steel, I'd like it a whole lot more.
And about cast steel. Harbour Freight, sells a 110 lb cast steel anvil (well they used to, it's discontinued, but in stock) for around $100. Is that a good price?
