September 29, 201213 yr Well I came into some luck recently. To start it, a buddy gave me his new (still had paint on the face) Emerson to put in the shop and use. It was very loud until I wrapped 10ft of chain around it and fastened it to the stump. It's a nice anvil to work on. I still need to radius the edges some though. Then another friend came across a 126# (I think) Peter Wright which has a cracked and chipped face, for free. I sold my 90# Fisher last week and picked up a nice 150# Fisher. I love this anvil. It's mounted on an Eastern white pine stump for now, until I can find a nice hardwood stump. And to top it all off, the same fellow that lent me the Emerson also gave me a Forgemaster two burner with stand to use, and an old NC whisper momma to turn into a dedicated forge welding unit so I dont ruin the lining of my everyday use NC forge. I'd say that's a good month. Just wanted to share. -Matt P
September 29, 201213 yr Nice! Anvils seem to beget anvils! I have friends e-mail me CL postings that know I have three. I just got a 150# Fisher myself. I love mine! Congrats!
September 29, 201213 yr What did you do to earn that kind of karma? Sheesh, I have never known anybody that would just give me kit like that! Congratulations on living life right!!

Thanks! What did you do to earn that kind of karma? Sheesh, I have never known anybody that would just give me kit like that! Congratulations on living life right!! Hah, Im not really sure. But I guess that I'm doing something right? if it is stamped 126 and is a peter wright it would be 173lb (approx) It's Stamped 1.0.15
