Jura T Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 The delivery guy just brought me a package. I wonder what's in it? :D Quote
ianinsa Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Was it labled "Fragile, Handle with care" :P Quote
Marksnagel Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Or was it labled, "Caution! Do not drop! (on anything you like). " :blink: Quote
Jura T Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Was it labled "Fragile, Handle with care" :P Naturally. I was shocked to notice that they had not put any shock sensors on it. :P Quote

Jura T Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 I opened the package yesterday, there were no animals in it. There was a Ernst Refflinghaus No 58 150 kg anvil, the one I've been lusting for for ages. What a surprise! :) I didn't have much time to forge yesterday, just enough to make a quick hot cut hardy and to finish the axe I started making last weekend. The anvil definitely feels a lot more solid than my old one (85 kg). Now I just need to mount it properly on the stump and to put some rubber mat in between them to deaden the ringing. Quote
MOblacksmith0530 Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Dont put a mat under it in my opinion it makes it bounce too much. Squirt a heavy bead of silicone under it and then find a large magnet to stick to the side of it and when it builds up a pile of scale it will take the ring out of it. It is a real beauty by the way. I have a Checkoslovakian(sp) 110kg and I mounted it on a 3 legged stand when I furst got it and put a mat under it and seemed like I was chasing it all the time. I took the mat out and put the silicone under it per a sugestion from Tom Clark and it works a lot better. Quote
Daniel.85 Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 That is nice, you should post a video of it singing to make us all happier. How long did it take to get? I remember reading that ordering one with a side shelf can add to the wait time. Quote
Jura T Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 MOBlacksmith, I've seen an anvil that was bolted to a concrete block with thin rubber mat in between. I didn't ring at all. I didn't forge on it so I can't say anything about the bounce. I guess, I'll try the silicon, especially as I should have a tube of silicon lying around somewhere. Thanks for the hint. Daniel, the No 58 is more or less a standard model for Refflinghaus. They seem to have it in stock most of the time. It took a week and a half from the order to get it. Quote
