don't tread on me Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I got a good anvil from an antique store. It is 150 lbs. It has a good ring and the hammer rebounds about 18 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLMartin Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 looks like a hay budden, youll have fun with that. use a angle grinder with a wire brush attachment and remove that paint from the face and youll be happier while forging, burning paint tends to smell less than pleasant, or just use some sand paper by hand to remove paint. there is a few forums topics on the site with good stands-stumps for anvils, have a look and chose whats best for your anvil. most of all, forge hot iron on it!
