sqeezplay Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 did i get a deal? Peter Write it has the markings of 118 which is in prime condition. and i got the 80 year old stump, and a 5" post vise which has a little bit of a bent leg, but other than that it's in pretty good condition. so? how did i do? i paid 300 for it all.

rthibeau Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sounds like the vise and anvil were way cheap, but that stump cost a lot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Sqeezplay, FYI the anvil weighs 148#. Peter Wright makes an excellent anvil, I have the little brother to your...146#. Around here a good 5" vise goes for around $75-$100. The anvil depends on condition, but usually start around $2 p/lb and can get rediculous!! Have seen some upwards of $4 p/lb. The most I have paid for one is $1.75 p/lb for my 180# Hay Budden. I would say you got a decent deal. ENJOY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
