MetalMike Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hi everyone i'm new to the site and blacksmithing. I live in Syracuse and was looking for an anvil. Just curious if anyone might have one for sale or know of someone who does. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Welcome aboard Mike, glad to have ya. There are some good tips on finding anvils and other tools here, try searching the site. If you'll click "User CP" and edit your profile to show your location it'll make a big difference. IFI is represented by members from more than 50 countries and a lot of info is location specific. Also if local folk know where your are they can tip you to get togethers, tool deals and offer hands on help. MOST important us old farts won't have to try remembering who's in the area when we travel and want a snack or place to nap. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Bly Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I have had a lot of luck on craigslist. In matter of fact there are a lot of items that are closer to you than they are to me that I have been interested in, and I am from the Albany area. I would suggest doing a search on craigslist and to put a post that you are looking for an anvil in the "items wanted" section also. Good luck.

Mark Emig Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Check out the New York Designer Blacksmiths group-you should be able to find someone in that group that sells tools. You can find tha link to their website at the abana.org website on the affiliate list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I live over in Marion, about 30 minutes east of Rochester, I have a couple, one of which I could sell, we also (NEW YORK STATE DESIGNER BLACKSMITHS) meet in my barn, so maybe you could sit in on a meeting as well!
