  1. Picked up this item that someone started to build a coal forge.Just need too weld up the side holes and get a grate for the center.The nice lady threw in a ASO and a handmade hammer:)
  2. Ya I did a ball bearing test and filmed it in slow-mo.At 10” drop it returned too 9”.Measured from all area’s of the Face.
  3. Thanks for the educated information.I agree,I would never have ground on the Anvil I purchased.I made the decision based on location,total price(not shipped)and the condition of the Anvil.The top plate still has plenty of thickness for many years after I’m done with it.I was just sharing my excitement of getting my first anvil.God Bless
  4. Black Frog, Thank you for your insight.Im still not understanding if my Anvil surface is flat,evenly thick,what is not ideal about it?Yes it has lost some of its character but it will work for my needs.God Bless
  5. Why is ever comment so negative??I really enjoy the fact that I can get into blacksmithing with my grandkids and get a big smile when I find a great old piece of history.No reason to be so critical of others equipment there starting out with.God Bless The top working surface is flat and plenty of life left in it.Thats what matters too me.It will get better “looking” as I use it.
  6. Drove 3 hours to pick up my first leg vise and the gentleman through in a BufCo blower for $25 U.S;)
  7. Good score!I just My first Anvil today.A 1899 Trenton Acme 85# in excellent condition.He was asking $500 and I was able too get it for $350.1/2 ball bearing dropped at 10” rebounded too 9”.
