Hi everyone, just wanted to share my anvil and this really cool stand i just picked up.
To me the anvil is a mystery make. But it's 97lbs, has good rebound, and the best part
about it is i got it pretty cheap!!! It has a 3/4in harty hole. I couldn't wait to make
a couple hardy tools to go with it, so i fab-ed up two bending forks and a cut off tool.
my most resent purchase was the blue stand and the anvil/vise came bolted on. All i really
wanted was the stand for my anvil, because i was using 4-6X6's bolted together. That worked
fine but i love the shape of the blue stand (kinda art deco).
Now for the Anvil/vise I didn't really want it at first, because the rear jaw (that can be
moved)was welded to the face, and there is a piece broken off the side, taking some of the
saw teeth with it (pictured). The same guy had the cool hand crank grinder. Well, the price
was right so i got them all as i packaged deal. I did a little research (Google
is my friend), the anvil/vise was patented on Jan 15 1895 by the Farwell/Adams Co. in Dubuque,
Iowa. And all i could find out about the grinder is that is was made by Luther Grinders and
was the "Challenge" model.
Feedback on any and/or all is greatly appreciated.
