September 29, 200916 yr I have found my way onto the IForgeIron website and I must say "wow - what a good bunch of talent here". Being somewhat of a newbie to smithing - having gotten bitten by the bug only a year ago - I have managed to procure two old wrought anvils - one a very well used Wilkinson, the other of unknown origin but in much better shape. I have also built a propane forge using an old freon tank that works quite well I must add. My first real project was a set of tongs that a fellow smithy showed how to forge one pc on and I finished the rest. Have done some s-hooks, j-hooks, drawing out and pointing and just about finished with a coat rack project using some twisting. Now considering the best possible coal forge design after picking up a Laurel Machine Works firepot at the Alabama Forge Conf meet a few weeks ago. I am a proud member of the Athens forge group of AFC and have learned a lot from those guys.
September 30, 200916 yr Welcome. Those anvils look to be in good condition in my humble opinion. My anvils have some sway in them and they work fine. I use the sway for straightening projects.
