howdy larry welcome aboard,i have had your site on my favorites list for quite a while

whos got the best deal on shipping anvils, i need to get 200 pounder from conn. to south fl,thanks clark:cool:

wow you got to see this cleaned up 30 seconds with a palm sander with wore outpaper and you can see the all the original curved marked made by the surface planer the day it was made! any body know the dates of vulcan production it has 59 on the back heel and a 7 onthe front 70 pounds i guess im gonna put some better pic in the gallery tommorow,and yes im on my way to buy lotto tickets.

Yes it was,i was running an errand at work ,i had to pick up some new golf carts,when i got to the garage i spotted an old metal lathe in the corner not being used,i asked the mechanic if he would sell it turns out it wasnt his but he would find out about it,I mentioned i do blacksmithing as a hobby and am all ways looking for tools,or scraps.then i said ya got any anvils you want to throw away? jokingly since i have allyways thought there is not another within 200miles from fort lauderdale,besides my peter wright that i paid dearly for,price and shipping.so the guy says no but i got one for 20 bucks.sight unseen i started reaching for my wallet,then he says ahh forget that just take it in the shop we go in a dark corner under a pile of stuff, I never use the word crap! and lo and behold a mint condition VULCAN anvil weighs between 65 and 70 pounds. I guess the moral of the story is just keep asking sooner or later you get a yes!

I saw this stuff at a trade show pretty amazing RhinoHide - All Weather Armor

I bought a half a dozen on ebay cheap so i havent had the need,remember that you have to be able to make a scroll before you can make a jig, the jig just helps if you need alot of identical scrolls.

welcome aboard,born at fort rucker army base myself

I forgot to mention the length is about 16in overall and heavy,the sticker is marked buffalo spear 14.00,the guy said he bought it at a antique show 20 years ago for that price,sold it to me for 4 dollars,i guess he would have been better off investing his money in blacksmith tools !!

bought this at a yard sale the label says buffalo spear,anybody agree,before i convert apossibly valuable object,no marks,spark test like wrought iron.thanks

2.45 here in south florida

welcome aboard! what do you know! i didnt think there was another anvil within 200 miles from me ,im in fort lauderdale,this is a great site!
