Dean Christman Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have a lead on peter wright in good condition(says the seller) He's asking 250$ dollars for it. Weight according to my calculations should be around 170#. go for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Christman Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 I hear really good things about them, and being a beginning smith i think it would be great to have such a great tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petere76 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Curufin, Go for it. No matter the condition you will still use it and it will serve you well. I got two PWs a 123 and a 144, perfect for moving around the shop and setting up stations. Good luck. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Christman Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I got the anvil today, my dad brought it home right after school, i fired up the forge made a few nails and i'll tell you what for 250$ this PW was a steal, it just has some rounded corners, a piece of rail road track doesn't even compare to this baby!
