rthibeau Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Jr, I don't think there is any doubt but you have the most stuff packed into the smallest area. How do you manage?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Combination swage block stand and hammer rack. The swage part is built to hold the block in all six surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesteryearforge Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Heres mine The big one is kinda cool to have but too heavy to use very much unless you have 2 or 3 apprentices to help move it about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredlyFX Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you ever decide to sell off any of those large anvils or swage blocks please give me a call. I am looking for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Fredlyfx I seem to have a genetic defect that wont allow me to sell them I currently have 17 anvils ranging from 25lbs thru 560lbs. Cant seem to pass up any that go for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It's a disease; I finally put a limit on the number of anything I have and then if I want to upgrade I have to sell off one to add the new one. As the finding is kinda fun in itself i usually have a list of folks who want to buy what I find. This keeps a *little* free space in the shop to move around in and allows the bank account some respite. When I read about folks with hundreds of anvils/swage blocks/postvises all I can think of is that they can't use them all and hoarding them is just making it harder on new folks trying to find stuff to get started.

yesteryearforge Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thomas you're right it is a full blown all consuming uncureable disease. Like collecting knives, guns, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandpile Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 If a few more people would have the desire for knives, I could have me a big swage block. I now have three anvils, one light enough to carry around and two for the shop. Well, I have another ASO that is ten lbs and sits on the knife bench.Grin. I have SWABA swage block spoke for but have not gotten it as yet. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
