    I thought something was slightly off but couldn't for the life of me put my finger on it. I have since bolted down the chain. it helped with the ring a bit

    Some day I would like to build a plywood shelf and install a electric blower. For now it's a run what you brung kinda forge. All in all its a big step up from my trashcan forge. I built it up from a ladder a railing and a oil tank. Thoughts and criticism are welcome.

    Not quite done, I would like to wrap flat stick around the top and add some flare. I'm getting married in a week tho so that's bin taking up my time lately. Anyways just wanted to show my progress . after cutting up the railroad tie I used boiled linseed oil to seal the ends. Screwed the upright ties to the bace and ran threaded rid through it. I haven't sucred it to the ties yet either I was thinking flat stock heated up and pounded fold over the anvils feet. Any thoughts or criticism is welcome. Thanks guys!

    The rebound is awesome and it's heavier than the Vulcan with the arm and hammer.

    Now it light outside I got a few pictures of the sides and bottom.

    Is this anvil cast with a forged face? Like the Vulcan with the logo.

    The edges are a little worked but the top is in good shape.

    Hey guys I just kinda stumbled across this anvil and have no clue what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You guys are a bunch of mooches. I'm thinking of building a bench and tarping it up when not in use. That way I can use some of it. As far as hammer ins/ get together how do I go about finding one?

    I had a uncle die he was a old tool horder this is only the little metal working tools he had. His real passion was old ice tools and wood working.

    Ok guys I'm in over my head. I started dabbling with blacksmithing built a trash can break rotor forge. I like to hammer when the honeydo's are done. Being a trucker I only hammer on the weekend. Now my set up is outdoors in my back yard. (my neighbors have horses they constantly ask me if I'm ready to make horse shoes and think it's hilarious) in my travels I recently acquired for free all these tools for ironworking. My question is how can i put this stuff to use. I don't plan on living in this house in a few years. So I don't want to build a shop but I really want to.

    Thanks for the info Gazz. I had no clue what that was.

    There are a few cobblers hammers they just look cool. The square with round ends could be no idea. My Wilton vice has bin welded but it still works and the price was right! Thank you for the heads up

    The reason I believe that it may be a type of anvil is because on one side of it, it is quite worked/used/dented from usage. Also, I haven't noticed any attachment or handle points. I guess I'm trying to figure out what it is so that I know best how to use it. I really appreciate the ideas that you came up with. Thanks

    Ok guys figures after I buy an anvil I stumble across five free ones. And a very cool old vice. If anyone knows what this stuff is that would be a big help. The first picture is a vice and an anvil in one. The only marking says patented and I can't make out the date. The anvil (if that's what it is) with the round sids and. Square center has no markings whatsoever. The smaller rusty one has a #8 under the horn. The vice is marked with Wilton on the side. Thanks for the help fellas!

    Ok so I brought the Vulcan home. What a difference it is hammering on it compared to railroad track. Thank you for all the help guys. I'm sure I'll be back for something.

    Thanks guys

    With the stand 200 do probably 150 pounds?
  21. Fuzz557
    Is it worth the 350 or should I wait something better to come along?
  22. Fuzz557
    Ok the guy who is selling this wants $350. I don't know what's fair. Besides craigslist this is the only lower priced anvil I've found so far. So I'm really tempted to grab it. Any thoughts on what brand and quality would be much appreciated. IMG_1269.MOV
