    I found craigslist an awesome place to find good anvils at a great price ... just do your research and know what you are looking for and take your time.

    OH and here are the pictures of the bottom of the anvil and also I threw in one of the rest of my equipment... as soon as I get the anvil mounted I can get started.... Hopefully this weekend

    Ok speaking of mounting the anvil, I am 6'4" and if I get the correct (wrist level) anvil height for lighter work, I will need a 25 or 26 inch log to give me the 36 inches to be wrist level. Will this be to tall and be unstable?.. i was thinking of building one of planned 4X6's and fit them together similar to a butchers block and put a leg out or something to that effect?? Any ideas for tall guys, just want to see if anyone has run into this before so I don't build it and it not end up stable enough. .

    Thank you guys a million. I will post more pictures when I get it mounted and cleaned up (wire-brush) all your info has made me feel even better about getting started. I will get the blower (A Champion 400) and forge set up cleaned up and post them. So Thanks for the welcome and I hope I don't aggravate you guys with too many newbie questions starting out ( I really do try to do my research first). Thanks all of you!! Doug

    Is there any guess on the age I was just curious.

    I paid $180 that's why I'm trying to see if I got a deal or not. Whichever, as long as it is good quality and will let me start learning the trade I'm happy. The bottom is dished out. What other views do you need to see for a positive ID I will get them tomorrow. Another guy who saw it thought it might be a Hay Budden, is there any way to tell??... Like I said I am just getting into Blacksmithing and looking to learn all I can.

    I had been looking for an anvil for a while and I found this one the other day and I'm trying to find out what I can about it as far as wieght and date and what type it is. The pictures show the readable numbers and a partial stamp on the side. I hope I have found a good deal because this is what I'm starting a new hobby on. I know sheetmetal now I'm going to try this.Any help you guys could give would be super. Doug
