I recently moved from the southern tier of new york to hotlanta. I just threw anvils, vises, and tongs in the back of my pickup truck and off I went!

41st and havorford? 16th police district, lol

I sense the imminent demise of the cat and the mouse.......................

Ted is one of the nicest people I have ever talked to. He is totally a class act. My prayers are with you, Ted. I am stuart, on a friend's computer!

Some guy asked me if I shoe horses. I said "I shoo horses, but only if they bring flies and horse poop". "NOW SHOOOOOOOO"!!!!

I visited a mexican blacksmith shop many years ago, when I went on a vacation in Mexico. Boy, was it hot down there!

it's a Rubbermaid................oops, that's the trash can!

1x112=112 1x28(quarter hundredweights)=28 18x1=pounds=18 112+28+18=158 You stole it for 150 dollars............158 pound peter wright is quite a bargain at $150

i use semi-open dies to forge just about everything in my shop, which basically swage barstock down into shape without having flash. On my bottom-dies, I have vent-holes for scale to escape out the back of the die. Rule of thumb for a swaging-dies.................twice as wide as deep, to allow the hot metal to deform without creating flash.

I save money by cooking my kielbasa over my coal fire...................sorry about that, Kingsford! I also trade my scrap to scrap dealers for anvils.....................which I sell to anvil collectors for mega-money on ebay, which allows me to buy more new steel which results in more scrap to be traded to scrap dealers for anvils, which allows me to sell them on ebay for mega-money to collectors on ebay, which allows me to buy new steel, which ends up in scrap which I trade to scrap dealers for anvils.........................you get my drift!

Greed is just as bad as ignorance. Both can spell one's undoing. Message to promotors, and all others who think they are slick......................ya' don't realize what you had 'til it's gone!

at 75 dollars, you should KISS the guy selling it to you!

that is a fair price

your anvil is the sovereign of all anvils, and you bought a particularly nice one. Hay buddens are worth their weight in gold............the BEST! Congratulations and happy forging!

it is absolutely a blacksmith ruler..............I have dozens of them that I have been accumulating over the years............bill gichner used to sell them for fifty bucks apiece!
