Aljeter Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Howdy, Im new to these forums. New to blacksmithing as well. I was wondering if this anvil is worth $150. It is a 70 lb NC tool short sugar anvil in excellant shape. Quote
dablacksmith Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 sure its worth it... a little small in my opinion but should work to get you started ! Quote
Thomas Dean Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I agree, a good starter worth the $, but just me, I would offer a little less...worst they could say is no. Quote

ThomasPowers Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Good starter anvil and then can morph into your travel anvil as you move up to a bigger shop anvil. As for price as a new anvil you can see what they go for new and then decide if it's a good price compared to an older anvil. Quote
Aljeter Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Well I bought it and paid the full price because he delivered it to me. Quote
pkrankow Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Well I bought it and paid the full price because he delivered it to me. If you are happy then it was worth it. That is a well reviewed (if smaller) anvil. Phil Quote
Aljeter Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 If you are happy then it was worth it. That is a well reviewed (if smaller) anvil. Phil I am happy with it. I can't wait to start using it. I am taking a class next month from a local blacksmith. I am really excited about starting this. I was a welder for a long time and still do some welding on the side. I got alot of pleasure from that and have always wanted to start doing some blacksmithing. Quote

Maybe when you get into things you will find a farrier who would be happy to buy from you for more than you gave for it. It would be worth more to him or her. You should be fine with it. Good luck.
