Very unique design. I like it. 

I hear ya. I have no doubt a deal will come my way. Until then I'll just go with the "need a tool Make a tool" method

Personally I like it from the top down without the hoops. I don't critique other people's taste. I'm sure you worked hard on it, and it shows. Solid wood and forged metal is a classic look. Thanks for sharing.

I put about 35 hours into it. I would most certainly think buying a new anvil would be cheaper and you would have a far superior product. This was done in my spare time At no cost to me. I'm having a hard time parting with hundreds of dollars for an anvil that is cracked, beat up, chipped edges, etc... This project was fun for me. 

I also like the look of the table. What did you use for the top?

I understand exactly what you are referring to. My plan was to weld the void between the two feet. When I preheat the anvil to do the welding on the horn I will fill the space between the feet. At that point there will be a solid mass from the face to the base 1 1/2" in from both sides about 6 1/2" wide. 

Hello everyone, I'm new here. Always wanted to start blacksmithing but time, life, money and other hobbies always seem to take precedence. I thought I would share my project with people that might be interested in how I went about building my anvil.
