Once a month, I have the opportunity to work in the blacksmith shop at Fort Loudoun in Vonore, TN. It's a British fort from the F&I War, garrisoned from 1756-60.
Since a major reconstruction in the late 70's, one of Vance Baker's old Peter Wright anvils has been the shop workhorse. After seeing the pictures and hearing a few reviews on Jymm Hoffman's new colonial anvils, we decided to get one. The staff at Loudoun is devoted to representing the period as accurately as possible. I think you'll agree that the new anvil really helps round out the whole picture:
The day we were first setting it up, Vance came down to finally take his old PW back home. To my suprise, he had already forged us a new hot-cut for the new anvil.
I've already done a day's work on it, and I really like it.
Jymm offers a good anvil at a good price and he gets it there when he says he will. Thanks, Jymm.
