Big foot, I was guessing some kind of light pounding on the stump, seems odd that it is mounted almost a foot below the anvil and the surface is very clean. I almost discarded it, because I had to take if apart to load and the log was damaged. For now, I will keep it as-is. NJ Anvil man, I sent an email via this site. I will be visiting NJ on every other Saturday for the next couple months. I dont have schedule yet. Maybe start in a month. It will be near NYC. Maybe we can get together. I am assuming you are near Trenton. I look froward to your book. How close it that to release? I appreciate the effort and respect anyone who can contribute a well researched book.

Hello, I am new to this forum. I am interested in old tools and line shaft driven metal working machinery. I have a forge but only dabble a little in that art. I also have a sawmill in storage, if I live long enough that is a future project or dream. This week acquired an anvil. It has a rectangular top 12x6 inches, 12 inch tall and 12x15 at the base. it is marked "Fisher", "1906" and has an eagle on the side. I see this described in a book as a Fisher Norris saw makers anvil. I would like to find a Fisher catalog reprint and learn more about this anvil. Weight, use, other sizes and option. Ah good - I was able to link to a photo. I would also like to ask about the base and wood log?
