yea for octoberfest.... i will be there too had planed on getting there early on friday for best tailgating ... but i have found a forge and anvil in the meantime ... -Job in sonora ca

good lord man, where do you shop?

have never heard this, makes since. good bit of info.

i would not saw them into blanks, but rather split banks with an ax and shingle fro. this would give you a handle which fallows the grain much closer than if sawn. so far as dimensions go i dont have much advice, wish i had some hickory handy out here in cali.

im setting up my first shop and have a loaner anvil. the only markings it caries are ces usa , and the number 2. its about 80 lb (bathroom scale), and has an very narrow waist 3.5 inches, i think it is designed for the farrier. i am wondering if it it cast steal or cast iron. it does have a very high frequency ring, but im suspicious that this is a result of its shape. the anvil is new, and i hope to return it in like new condition, i could not find any info on this company anywhere online .... although its probably out there thanks Job
