Well said for sure. 

Nice collection!

Well I haven’t got to use it yet but I tested the rebound with a 1/2 inch ball bearing and I’m getting a solid 80% rebound which is more than I expected. 

Smart man…

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. 

Is that bad? 

Was a young guy, said he bought it in 2018, lightly used it and didn’t touch it much since. He put a thin coat of primer on the face and horn to help prevent surface rust from sitting up in his garage. 

No sir! All mine!!! Will post more once I get this giant home. (4.5 hours away) but worth every mile! 

For sure.

haha. good analogy! I think I’m gonna bite the bullet and try it out. 

Don’t think I’m gonna find a better deal around here, especially not in that size or even close to it.

Yea I’ve heard, I just don’t think I’m gonna find a deal on a steel face anvil around my area. Or I haven’t had luck anyway. 

Natchitoches, Winnfield area.

Hahaha. No worries, only thing I’m worried about is I can’t find any videos of a rebound test on it. I would just like to see a little proof before I drive 5 hours lol

Thanks for the replies guys! Massive help!

Should I stay away from ductile iron for bladesmithing? 

Going to purchase a jhm competitor 260# for $750. I personally think this is a steal, anyone else’s opinion? Louisiana. Looks to be hardly used.

From central Louisiana.

I’m very new to the whole scene. I want something that’s good quality without spending a $1000 I’d like to stick to about a $500 dollar forge that’s capable of forge welding in the future. Best suggestions?
