I appreciate the info

I am wondering if I come across leaf springs for x dollars, I should grab them. Basically, they seem to be kinda plentiful, but at what dollar value do you not pass on them?

I did look at them but they are sold out of the 200 lb anvils at this time. Yes, I have signed up recently, but in AZ with the heat, not much happening in the summers.

Hello, I have been lurking on various forums for a while. I have been using a railroad track as an ASO and a cheap 55 lb cast iron beat up anvil for a while just tinkering and saving money for the real deal for about a year now. Well, I have gathered up 1600 dollars and am trying to decide what a great first anvil would be. I have 2 anvils in mind and hopefully you can help my decide. My uses right now are repairing tools, making tools and edged tools and I really want to learn more. I do not know where this hobby will take me when I get a real anvil, but we shall see. My top option if possible, lyon blade and anvil 220. Second choice is Peddinghaus 170. Are there any other anvils I should consider in my price range(and that is delivered too plz). Thanks for your input. I an super excited!
