Look at that 1400 pounder on top. man that would b a nice anvil to have.

Man i wish i had the money for it.

I sure do wish i could get some of those anvils nd tools for free. That would b amazing. But i have horrible luck.

Nice vise, threads look good. You should make something for the friend.

They might weld the bad ones themselves. If so, they do a very good job.

$405 now, we will see. i think it'll go for at least $800.

Yea, I always wondered how he got all of his anvils in that good of condition.

I saw this on ebay. What do you think the catch is?

I think it might be a cast iron ASO. There is not much of a table, a short blunted horn and a lack of pritchel hole. I'd use the steel block as your main anvil and just use this for light bending over the horn. It'll work best as a doorstop, boat anchor or roadrunner-repellant, though. Best of luck, but get other opinions. I'm not as knowledgable as some, and I very well could be wrong.

It sure looks like an aso. Does it have a ring to it?

They can keep the fish parts and ill take the anvil.

really nice work.

It said it had no bids. Too bad i didnt see it a week ago, i would have bought it.

Have fun blacksmithing. Those 'fire flies' dont feel good when you bend over to turn you blower on and they fly all over your back.

where is it. it is a good price and ill lt my brother try out blacksmithing with it.

I was hoping it was in alabama. That is too far away. Im only 13 and my grandparnts wont drive me that far. Mabe in 2 and a half years when i get my license.

i might could be there where is it and when?

mine looks alot like th first one you posted

mine looks alot like th first one you posted

It must be normal to have all that wrighting on it, right?

i think ill just pour mine in. i like to overdo

and dont try welding the edges, if you need good edges make a edge tool for th hardy hole

That is good. Im glad it wont be a lawn ornament

i like it. now it will be used for the right reasons

Hi, i would like to know if there is any way possible yo make a cut off hardy tool for my anvil. The only good steel that i have that i can use is a coil spring. I have trid to un coil it but i cant find a way to do it. What are you all's experience with coil spring cut offs. thanks
