Sam Thompson Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Not only has this guy never seen an anvil, he can't use a cutting torch either!:Blacksmith's ANVIL from 20"x 6 1/2" beam on eBay (end time 18-Dec-09 17:55:45 GMT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzsmith288 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 thats about as pathetic as they come they shouldn't be aloud to call it an anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spears Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Looks to me like the person is under the impression that you bang on an anvil to hear a ring. That's mostly all your going to get out of that piece of scrap iron besides a complimentary lolly pop from the scrap yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 10 British pounds = 16.37200 U.S. dollars For 1 cwt of mild steel seems a reasonable deal, but only if you need stuff that thick and can cut it up. Otherwise yea, a lollipop from the scrapyard. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That is pitiful. Would it qualify as abstract art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWCarlson Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Looks like he had to label it so he didn't forget what it was supposed to be. THAT'S bad. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedwards Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That is pitiful. Would it qualify as abstract art? Probably it would. Just think of some of the other cr.p that some people present as art. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njanvilman Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I would hesitate to even call it an ASO(anvil shaped object). Throw it in the scrap pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigcity Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 lol i would rather keep my non prichal mousehole that has a cracked faceplate and plus i have better i-beams than that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 njanvilman, I agree. I wouldn't even go so far as to call that an ASO!! LOL. The sad part is that some poor sap will probably buy it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken leedy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 thanks for saving this image, I was afraid it would be lost in the fog of history. I would not be surprised if it ended up on display somewhere as a sculpture dealing with the inginuity of man. LOL :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
