not Farrier anviles round here , Tennessee good qualite and not trash , old school anvils that the ol timers like to see young folks useing and doing something with their life other than drugs . as most families know each other round here Sam

I make a lot of brass hammers for folks here from lil tappers that weigh in at less than 2 oz or les to 20 lb beaters that are a combnation of brass/ bronze However I have not done many steel ones . Sam

ever seen the Mill spec shops for MOS traning ...... :lol:

Brian that is some awesome work on the hammers I do need some new ones to add to my new shop . Sam

350 round here tis a small one $1.00 a pound is normal but can get most anvils for less due to being a b-smith . Sam

Ol Frosty your just like me when it comes to shoes or boots .... I have two feet and i take care of them as I tend to stand on them a Lot proce is NOT an Issue ... No Fu Fu shoes or Boots but Honest ,Good Working Boots and shoes Leather is what I Love and will buy 99.99999 % of the time them DR. shoes and Boots are better than Se% and to a fellers feet knees,and back they are better . don't matter what you are walking on . as for a floor for a shop concreat is the best dirt packs down and is hard too for equipment and easy cleaning concreat .JIMHO . Sam

Have you ever heard of Shaffer oil stuff works Awesome and sea foam does too . Sam

Both Frosty and Thomas have covered the best way to repair the face of the anvil or most any thing else that has a crack in it . I have done it many times working on heavy equipment . even used air ark gouging , Grinding and welding on the armor stuff in the military . will be looking for the photos . Sam

it looks like the ones used by the Military ! No joke can't do nothing for the guards on the machines . Sam

what needs fixing,repaired, or replaced I have one that I am cleaning right now However, Not parting out .if you have photos of the damage I'll see what I can do . Sam

I use antler tines and the bases of them drill them and tap them in place works good . Sam

I never Met Gilly, May The Good Lord, give peace to the Family and Her . Blessing Sam
