Brilliant! Had no idea the college offered these as downloads. Cheaper than dishing out real books to students like back in my day, I guess. I understand that "the thatchers craft" is out of print.. Could be the same with the blacksmith book(s) Gotta be worth a download. Thanks :-)

Update.. Been busy with the wire brush n linseed oil.. And the router, sander and linseed oil. The trunk is ash and only cost me £1.. Cheap project so far ;-)

Im in the UK. I've tried wacking it with a hammer (the anvil that is) its not a dull thud, but not piercing ring either. I plan to mount it on a nice fat hardwood log, and ultimately use it, I've been messing about with cold forged stuff and a mig welder for a couple of years now.. Think im ready for level 2 now I've got an anvil :-) Would love to be able to make something pretty from the anvil to give to the previous owner..

Hello, I was given this anvil last week from a friend's father, it was preventing the garage door from opening fully and getting in the way! So it was handed over to me.. For free!! Trouble is, blacksmithery and anvils is all new to me. I have no idea what I've got, any clues would be greatly appreciated. I have scrubbed it with a wire brush, only markings I can find are on the side "1 0 0" many thanks, Alex. Plate welded to the top..?
