Rothenberger Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Im a beginner smithy and looking for a small used anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
395743 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Unless you are willing to pay for international shipping on an anvil POST YOUR *GENERAL* LOCATION WHEN ASKING THIS SORT OF QUESTION! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I was guessing this person to be from Rothenberg ODT, Germany; lovely place I've been there several times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
