Peep_Peep

Ah yes, Dave - I am familiar with the turning cams, heel radius and clip puller, but I've always used my trusty PW for mobile farrier work! As for fancy rigs - my daddy always said, buy as much real estate as you can afford and get away with as little vehicle as you need! As for welding, it's always been a forge job for me! Maybe Frank will have a gander at the post...

Because the price was very right, I recently bought an anvil, forge and some tools, sight unseen. I ended up with an older NC forge, a few forging tools, some GE shoeing tools and an anvil. My question is about the anvil - it's a brand I've not seen before and an internet search has not yielded any information. The anvil is a farrier's pattern "Canadian" brand. It's about 70lbs, but I have not yet weighed it - definitely a portable size. Markings on the anvil are a crude measuring scale in inches, the brand, "Made in Canada" and something which looks like "967" (possibly 1967?). I suspect it's cast, as the usual weld line is visible around the waist. Other than Canadian Forge and Anvil (I've not seen any of the "anvil" portion of that name), there's very little information (read: None). I know it's not a high quality anvil, but I'm curious nonetheless. So... anyone out there have any ideas/information/comments? I apologize in advance if this is a dead horse.
