BluntEdge Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks for the welcome Thomas. I am located in Ontario Canada. And on a side note the anvil I got has the marks 1.1.9 and after a bit of research it should be 149 lbs. for $250.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluntEdge Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Just an update here are some more picks of the anvil I got and I'm on my way to pick up a coal forge this weekend. I can't wait to try my hand at pounding some metal. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Welcome to IFI from North Carolina. Looks like you have a great anvil to start you off on your journey. Enjoy the ride. It will be your newest addiction/obsession, hobby/habit. There are a lot of people here that are more than happy to share their expert skills (and some opinions) with you. All are intended to make you a better blacksmith. Remember safety! Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
