    Yeah Vaughn I jumped on it like white on rice if ya know what I mean lol.Thomas is there a way I can tell if the welds are original?
  4. Rhettbarnhart
    Yes guys I am happy with it.metal 99 I don't know a whole lot about arm and hammers and at first I thought that it might have been welded from the factory.This isn't the case and it was welded later on but it doesn't seem to affect the rebound to badly.i would say rebound is around 70%

    My mom was scrolling through Craigslist this week and told me she saw an anvil for sale.I waited while she found the ad but I didn't figure it would be anything I wanted.The add said" anvil 300$" with a picture attached;I looked at the pic and saw that the anvil looked to be around 200 lbs so decided to go look at it.the anvil turned out to be a 200 lb arm and hammer in pretty decent shape with a nice metal stand.I pulled out the money loaded up the anvil(I didn't even mind the 200 lb weight since I was payin 1.50$ a lb)and came home.I cleaned her up and she is back in use :)

    I recently bought a new bench and postvise.I got the post vise for 50$ but it was missing a leg....I fixed as soon as I got home and it works great now. 5in jaws@55lbs. I also bought a bench vise at my granddads estate auction....5 1/2 in jaws idk ho many lbs....
