I plugged it in when the owner of it sold it to me and was telling me how it still runs. I wasn't trying to mock anyone or laugh at anyone. I am very appreciative of everyone's advice. Thank you all.- 26 replies

I meant to say that maybe on the anvil vise combo I can us that surface for leather work since it is a thin cast iron and can break easy. But I plan on using the kohlswa anvil for blacksmithing. I haven't gotten around to using the anvil yet. I need to set up shop still. I am moving soon because I am running out of space in my house and garage. I plan on buying a home with a shop.- 26 replies

Element. Do you think the surface of the anvil vise is ok to punch leather holes on? Also should I clean it with a wire brush and spray paint it black. And also on the kohlswa anvil should I take a wire brush to that and put bees wax on it to keep it from rust?- 26 replies

So I have a long family friend that was cleaning out his barn and found blacksmith stuff that he wanted to scrap metal. So I bought some of it and was given some of it. He first gave me a 70ish lbs kohlswa anvil. Then he sold me this anvil and vise combo for $20 after that I asked him about this 5 1/2 inch leg vise. He said he was going to leave it with the house and I had to talk him into selling it to me for $40. and he sold me the grinding wheel for $60. I think he hooked me up. I have cross pen hammers and ball pen hammers. I think all that is left is a forge. Any suggestions?
