I have a 130 pound Peter Wright and I have 148 pound Hay Budden anvil here is my problem. I like the Hay Budden anvil alot but the horn is a little short for me and the point doesnt come out to a point as much as I wished it would for when I am making small stuff like S hooks. The Hay Budden has a great bounce better than the Peter Wright I have in my opinion and its in great shape I just don't like the horn at all it's a stubby. The Peter Wright is perfect as far as the condion and the shape of the horn but the bounce just isn't there like the Hay Budden. I normally make stuff like for mountain men, Fire Sets, Tripods, Grills, Fire Pokers, S Hooks, Forks, Spoons, etc... So I was wandering what some of you guys had for an opinion about this. To me the Hay Budden is more of a Farrier/ Horseshoe anvil. I was taught to blacksmith on a 270-280 pound Trenton anvil and that anvil is awesome but my teacher won't sell it to me. So I thought about selling both my anvils and maybe buying a Trenton. Thanks for your time. Dustin Baker Ohio
