Used your method. Have to tell SOMEBODY: First stop - Dad (He is 81). Me: "Dad...do you know of anyone that has an Anvil they don't need?" Dad: "Yup, there is one in the barn at the ranch in East Texas" Me: " Can I have it?" Dad: "Yup" Dad: "You know...that was Uncle Collie's Anvil. He was a Farrier in WW 1 and that was his Anvil." Me: "xxxx xxxx, ...are you serious?" The anvil turned out to be a 125# "Made in Sweden" SIS CO "Superior". Edges are toast, <was> rusty xx xxxx. Vinegar bathed it, rubbed with Baking Soda, rubbed with boiled linseed oil. Came here looking for stand ideas - prolly just finish off with a oak stump. THANKS!
