  1. Thomas, thanks for the info. I'm with you on that. An anvil would have to be in pretty rough shape form me to consider trying to repair it. And then I would want someone who knows anvils to do the work. Fortunately, this anvil is pretty nice so I don't have to worry about it. Mine has a couple flaws but I think I'll just leave them there. They're earned scars, just like all of mine. : )
  2. Yes, I planned on using it as-is. I picked this one because the face was so nice. Thanks for the heads-up. I do see a lot of YouTube videos of people repairing anvils by welding them up. Is this type of activity reserved for the really unusable anvils or is it always considered a no-no?
  3. First of all, this is my first post here so, Hello Everyone! : ) I'm new to Blacksmithing, but really looking forward to getting started. I have been searching for equipment and scored a few items at a recent estate auction. I didn't' score an anvil there but I ended up with a few post vises, a Buffalo rivet forge, and some miscellaneous stuff. I ended up selling a couple of the post vises to a really nice guy that offered to sell me one of his anvils. Well, I went out to his place last night and outspent my budget a little but I'm really happy with what I ended up with. This is a 176# Trenton (I believe) I can't discern any markings on the side of the anvil but I'll attack some photos of the serial number (looks like A124616 to me) etc. He thought that this was a 1908 anvil made in Columbus Ohio. Curious what I might find out here. Thanks in advance!
