August 28, 201213 yr Hey Greg, My first anvil was a piece of rail road track, my second was a rail road car coupler knuckle and now I have an anvil. I still use both of them in conjunction with the anvil. My rail is sunk upright into the ground for stability and added mass and the coupler knuckle is mounted in a cedar stump. You are welcome to use the coupler knuckle until you get a "real" anvil (no time limit). Just let me know and I can deliver next time I am at the beach. Never quit looking, I am always on the lookout for another anvil. Mark <>< Revealed By Fire Blacksmithing
August 28, 201213 yr Do a craigslist search for your area and check it often, that is the best way to get a "real" anvil otherwise you will have to "make do" with a sledgehammerhead, rr track, etc.
August 28, 201213 yr What kind of anvils do you have in "stock" right now, stewart?Mod note: see tailgating section
September 4, 201213 yr Unless you are willing to pay for international shipping on an anvil POST YOUR *GENERAL* LOCATION WHEN ASKING THIS SORT OF QUESTION!
September 27, 201213 yr I have an anvil here you can have for free. Just arrange to collectit. In fact you can have a choice of 2!
September 27, 201213 yr We're still waiting for your location. "The smithy's the kitchen; the smith is the cook." Thanks to Tom Bredlow. Under the shedding sprussnut tree the village SMITHY stands. The SMITH, a mighty man is he with large and sinewy hands. Apologies to Longfellow. If a smith stood under a tree all day, I doubt he'd get much work done.
September 27, 201213 yr I was guessing this person to be from Rothenberg ODT, Germany; lovely place I've been there several times!
