I feel like a broken record but I can’t thank you guys enough. That was the intent and still will be moving forward but desperate times call for... I’m trying to move out of the customer department ( there nightmares) and focus on my custom pieces. Wanting to bring other mediums into my pieces and have them be all my art instead of subbing parts out. So I will definitely be hanging around, reading, soaking up knowledge. I’ll be asking a lot of questions as well and hopefully y’all don’t get to sick of the new guy. Have a great evening gentlemen. 

Well alright then. I shall try my luck. You gentlemen are top notch.

I know. But I’d prefer to ask the fair price and lose some rather than take advantage of someone like myself and reap the benefits in the karma department. Thanks again truly for your help.

Thank you all so much. Well the $2000 I was owed is looking like it’s not going to be recouped. Was told it was worth a bit more. Oh well my fault for trusting and not doing my due diligence. All reply’s are very much appreciated. If anyone has any woodworking questions shoot them over haha.

He did the rebound test with a ball bearing and looked good to me. He told me the entire top was tool steel and bottom half was cast. I’m in California. The model number isn’t completely visable but I can send pic. Thanks againz

Hello everyone. I was wondering if I can get some help from anyone regarding my recently acquired anvil. After reading some threads I believe I may have gotten the short end of the stick. In a nutshell I was owed a small chunk of change from a blacksmith I recently did some cabinet work for. He had issues forcing him to relocate out of state and had a outstanding balance which he offered a trade in which I agreed. A 259lb hay budden. After reading some threads I see paint is a no no, and messing with the face is another no no. Both are consistent with mine. The paint is very old and I commented on the face being so clean, he assured me it was done by himself with proper methods and correctly. I guess I have to take his word on it. Anyways I’m in desperate need of cash to take care of a unexpected expense so I must get rid of new toys that aren’t my trade(woodworking). Please feel free to chime in and lend this fella a hand. Thank you in advance for your time.
