PADDY!! You old dog! how ya been mate! Just use a hunk o'rail like I did! hahah

Found his post so he wont need to find me hahah http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/17661-biggest-fisher-anvil-on-display/

heh Im sure NJ will have some more input for me, thanks Sam

Some here may have seen this pic but its new to me and I thought I would share, Anyone have the story of what this 1400lb behemoth was used for or what ever happened to it? I would love to have seen this display live.

wish I was closer, its a deal just for the blower ( if it works ) but everything! thats very handy hope it gets a good home

hahah anyway, is it a Mubea? going from color it could be a Tronzadoras MG? http://www.tronzadorasmg.com/

Such clean clothes! very brave

Nice work, But the Queen duth not approve!

Nice work with the O-1 I've never made anything much larger with it than what you have here, I am told it can get a little brittle with length, whats your experience?

I need one!

What dates are you headed out Brian, we got the Ohio Ren faire starting next weekend but my Lady and I are looking to plan a trip south this looks like a fun stop~

Ahh nice I wish my anvil had a "shank bit" !!! /jealous

Welcome~

Its been my experience that most times when your getting fractures its a heat issue, your shocking the metal out of its plastic zone, you did say you were checking your forging temps, but what material are you actually using?

could use a pic or two to see what your making offers on but sounds like you could have some options

Good advice Spears, I think at the moment I'm lucky enough to have neither the money nor the space for a hammer and as such I am forced to apply patients to my situation. I hope that by the time my lady and I are looking for our second home it will be one with some land and space for a more powerful ( and louder hammer ) Till then its back to window shopping and reseach~

I love the rubber stip, Im guessing old tire? used in place of a spring, this is fun stuff

Thanks as always Bob, I do have a guy "Bones" that I bought my 38' school bus from, but xxxx if Ill find that number again, looks like its time for a trip "To a van Down by the river!!"

Found a nice Tire Hammer vid on the tubes, older vid but new to me and finally a clean video!

Anyone know of a good actual "Junk" yard like this in the central KY area? all I can seem to find is vehicle dumps! I know there are a few nice place in Ohio but its a bit far for pickin

I think my only fear with the tire hammer option is that I tend to over engineer some of my projects to a point that it would either not get done at all or explode on completion! But I think your right this may be my quick fix~ Nail on the head with that one, I always seem to go broke a few days before I find a good deal! I bought a new truck once and a week later three estate auctions popped up with 200+ lb anvils and a computer store held a going out of business sale, I was so depressed hahah I missed out on so much junk But thanks for the advice all!

That hurts to read I fear my luck is not this good, and prices I see tend to be triple that~

If you can stand it good for you! I used to do this to battle my insomnia but my wrists and joints could only take sooo much. I did manage a shirt and coif set of over 15k rings and countless pouches and balls/hacky sacks for friends, all of this before theringlord.com was around or at least popular. I would spin my own rings on a mandrill and spend hours clipping and spreading, one gallon bucket of open rings, another of closed then I would set off for hours at night watching bad movies, it becomes like knitting after a few days you don't even look at the work! Edit: Also I got lucky enough that a friend of my father machined me a ring shear, was very nice to have clean cut rings on the final product, I think I still have it somewhere if your still interested after a few weeks of chainmaille

I was worried this might be the case, my lack of PHammer knowledge proceeds me~ I would say I'm after a mechanical anywhere from 25-50# or more depending on price, not sure what you mean by utility or self contained and as far a location I drove 800mile round trip to pickup my 340# Trenton, long as my 2500HD Silverado can haul it Ill go! ( this is all hypothetical as I am still broke ) But I do appreciate anything you can teach me.
