May 10, 201412 yr My 0 3 16 Mouse Hole on wheels...The wheels also fit the small forge. Much easier to move around with wheels and a handle than balancing on a dolly.
May 13, 201412 yr Just picked up a 150 lb Peter Wright anvil this afternoon and brought it to it's new home! It used to belong to the Grandfather of the lady I bought it from, I assured her it would have a good home! :) I also got a bunch of blacksmith tongs as part of the deal.
May 13, 201412 yr New ASO that one fo the folks I hunt with found in his shed. I love the look of this and I really needed something with a horn since my rail chunk is just that, a chunk.

That is an anvil that is ready to get some work done! Good find.
May 13, 201412 yr Sorry that's not an ASO, that's an anvil. ASOs are things you can't use to pound on as they breakdown too fast---the best example being cast iron (NO steel face!) anvil shaped objects sold by Harbour Fraud.

That's no ASO! How dare you besmirch a perfectly usable tool? There's nothing wrong with a rail anvil, I've done a lot of good on one that looks just like the one the horned anvil is sitting on.

I have done good work with my rail anvil. I only call the horned anvill an ASO so people would not think I was putting on airs. All my tools are humble but even my most humble tool is solid and useful!
May 14, 201412 yr Greetings, I am glad to see you guys are on the same TRACK.. So to speak... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim
May 20, 201412 yr Finally unloaded my new to me 350 pound anvil...finally gave up trying to out wait the wife so she would not see it.... :rolleyes:
May 20, 201412 yr Oh yes, they are invaluable! Just when you think it has been gathering dust long enough, another use comes along! The first one I had did not fold up like this one, the folder is the way to go. :D
May 21, 201412 yr I got mine at a yard sale a few years ago. The husband hemmed and hawed when I asked about it but his wife said, EVERYTHING IN HERE IS FOR SALE! $50.00! I actually dropped my wallet getting it out, it was apparently brand new and on sale in Wasilla going in the $270.00 range. It actually folds small enough it went right in the Saturn Vue. At my age we're supposed to start smartening up and give our backs a rest. Frosty The Lucky.
May 21, 201412 yr Frosty , Only go to sales where they have 2 for sale ... One to put your new found hoist in your Saturn,, Next time... LOL Forge on and make beautiful things Jim
May 21, 201412 yr My 150 haybudden and 460 rathole I love those stands you made, exactly what I was thinking of doing for mine.
May 21, 201412 yr Very nice, Gobroncos, you wouldn't be from Colorado, would you, or are my psycoic poweres faiyling me? Here is my post anvil on iron ore duty: Hoping another member posts his similar creation....... Robert Taylor
May 21, 201412 yr Here is my anvil. Very high carbon, Took forever to cut the small portion on the top of it off. Should last me a while. http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/38193-whole-anvil/ http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/38192-anvil-face/
May 21, 201412 yr Welcome aboard Bronco dude, glad to have you. If you put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance. Out of curiosity, what is a comfortable working height for you're anvil faces? Frosty The Lucky.
