    Please send some of that rain my way! Congratulations!

    Looks cool Brian.

    I'm sure that the people in the video don't give a flying ____ about what any of us think of what they should be doing...

    The script used for the "98 Lbs" looks similar to what I've seen on Soderfors anvils.

    Anvils in America lists a Roala made by Hay Budden on page 289. Apparently Raola was a hardware company in Indianapolis.

    Incredible! I see '80 cm' in the posting. Does that mean its 80 cm tall or long or...? Regardless, it's still very impressive.

    I asked him that and he said that he did not like the flat 'battleship grey' look that blasting gave the anvils.

    That's what I use. I usually wipe it down with a rag dampened with thinner to remove the dust generated by the wire brush before wiping it with the boiled linseed oil.

    He wire brushes it with a cup brush on an angle grinder then wipes it down with linseed oil.

    A couple of hours ago a 300-400 pound Peter Wright in nice condition sold through an online Government of Canada surplus auction for $251.99. Based on it's measurements, I would say it was much closer to 400 pounds.

    Apparently Trenton made one that weighed 1200 pounds. They were capable of making big ones. Whatever make it was, it's definitely a lovely anvil and I'm sure the buyer is happy. I know I would be.

    It's a Columbian. High quality cast steel.

    Jeez, I lived in Calgary for 6 years and I never knew of this place. Next trip back I will be sure to visit.

    Can you explain why the inverter welders only have a 5 year life expectancy? I asked a friend who used to teach electronics at tech school about this and he didn't know anything about it. I'm curious as to why this would be. I was given a 40 amp inverter plasma cutter. Would this 5 year rule apply to it as well?

    Look at the front of the foot for stampings and under the base for the shape of the indentation. It looks like a Hay Budden to me but it can be one of a few different brands.

    This thread reminded me of this: http://en.wikipedia....i/Voice_of_Fire

    Looks lovely. Congratulations!

    It's probably a Hay Budden from approx. 1908 according to Anvils in America. The shape of the indent on the bottom and the numbers stamped on the heel are typical features of HB's.

    Very nice!
  22. Sask Mark
    According to Anvils in America it was made in 1914. Pretty hard to do better than $10 for that lovely anvil. Excellent score!
  23. Sask Mark
    It looks like it was built in 1913 according to Anvils in America.
  24. Sask Mark
    I'm pretty sure the seller paid $300 for the anvil 1 day before he listed it so he shouldn't be too offended by your offer.

    Join the blacksmith guild based out of the WDM in Saskatoon. The guild is an excellent source for resources.
