April 23, 201016 yr Well was up Powel WY way for a visit and have been looking high & low for a 100 + lb Anvil and could not find anything so gave up and bought a 60#? Vulcan for $48, did I do ok? Just got tired of looking for over a year now and want to pound on some Iron Picked up a forge quite some time back so I guess it are time fer this old fart to make sparks. I am still sittin on the Clark Fork of the Yellowstone river waiting fer the wife to get done with her visit so I can go play Bill D Blackfoot ID
April 23, 201016 yr At $0.80 per pound, I feel you did well and it gets you started. You can now earn the funds for a much larger anvil.
April 23, 201016 yr As long as you don't abuse it with too heavy a hammer (especially on horn or heel) that will make a good starter anvil and a good travel anvil after you get it's big brother...
April 24, 201016 yr Author As long as you don't abuse it with too heavy a hammer (especially on horn or heel) that will make a good starter anvil and a good travel anvil after you get it's big brother... I hope I can find sumptin bigger BUT it has been pretty sparse supply everywhere I seem to be. I will keep hunting as it gives me something to keep me occupied when shopping with the wife;>)
April 24, 201016 yr Hey bvd1940, look at ksl.com it covers Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. it's like a local craigslist. on the search box type in anvil and search. i haven't seen any for a month or so but i did get a 125 hay budden off from there awhile back. just thought it would help. Happy Forging Chad
April 24, 201016 yr A sixty pound Vulcan beats a rock by a mile. Feel better now? Follow Thomas' advice about the horn and heel, they are tender on Vulcan's but it is a good start for a real anvil. Happy forging! and show us some of you work :D
