newbysmith Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 New to this site, but it is awesome. Got a Fisher 150lb anvil that was my Grandpas. Started about 3 weeks ago after I built my bbq grill forge. My only regret is not trying this hobby years ago. Of course my elbow probably would have been worn out by now. All the posters seem so helpful on here. I'll say thanks in advance because I know I'll need advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
