i recently acquired this anvil from my grandfather, saying this was his great grandfathers. also my first anvil, very excited.

 unsure of model, there isnt any letters on the side or anywhere on the anvil, but im going to assume this is a London pattern 200-25 ish pounds. Thoughts? because i could be totally wrong hehe =)

I decided to finally upgrade from a hole in the ground to a forge that stands off the ground.

The whole design was pretty easy, i just slapped everything together and seems to work fine, however i still need to cut out a generously sized slot in the side of the base so my steel can heat evenly (oops!)

(

Again the whole design of this thing is pretty straightforward, i use this peddle thingy to control airflow. ( i realize i am using alot of coal, i just dumped a bunch on their, later realizing that that was too much hehe =) )
