Some photos of my newly completed "Shop". Frame is all new treated pine - everything else is recycled. To give the building an aged look I am painting the new & secondhand timbers with a mixture of sump oil & kero which seems to work OK. The floor is quarry rubble which I think I might pave over as the sand content of the rubble is being tracked out onto the garden paths. The area of the new shop is only about 11sq m as we only have a small suburban back yard and that was all I could negotiate with my wife. Have joined it to the existing garden shed which will now be used for my storage. Will "fire up" the forge next week in it's new home and see how I go with making some weathervanes. Cheers Ron

Oops, Hit the 2 instead of the 1 - should be 127lbs. Ron

G'day everyone - my first post but I have been browsing the site for a while. I recently bought this anvil at a Farm Clearing Sale at Yankalilla in South Australia. It is branded "BROOKS" with "WH" beneath the name. It weighs 127lb as per the numbers "1 0 25" stamped on the opposite side. Does anyone have any knowledge of where this anvil would have come from and its age?
