Sam Salvati Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Hooray my anvil came today!!!!! 110 pounds, cast H13. It hase a nice wide face, greeat rebound, excellent well designed shape. I am very pleased with it, it should be perfect. I need to build a steel stand for it. Jymm was kind enough to send a hardy hot/cold cutter with it! cannot wait to hit hot steel on it! Side by side with the Peddinghaus Rebound feels pretty much the same with both also, I was curious to see the difference. Quote

Wayne Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Boy, I bet the postie loved you :rolleyes: Nice one Quote
HWooldridge Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Nice one, Sam...and an interesting comment about rebound. I wonder if they are approximately the same hardness - or not? Quote
macbruce Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 So tell us Sam....You're an accomplished blacksmith with a small shop but but you do some pretty heavy striking on occasion. The reason I'm asking is I spose many here wouldn't consider an anvil less thad 250 on up even though they don't do heavy work. Are you financially challenged like yours truely, just a cheapskate like yours truely or do you feel a 110 is fine for some moderatly heavy work?.....Yours truely....mb..... :D Quote
Daniel.85 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 nice chunk of steel! who knows where it will be in a couple hundred years. Quote
Everything Mac Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 < Not jealous at all............ Nope me neither ......... Looks a beauty Sam! Best flick with it. Quote
Sam Salvati Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Thanks everyone! I am thrilled with it!!! Cannot wait to get a stand made up and get banging away!!! I am proud to be the beginning of this anvil's story Dan. So tell us Sam....You're an accomplished blacksmith with a small shop but but you do some pretty heavy striking on occasion. The reason I'm asking is I spose many here wouldn't consider an anvil less thad 250 on up even though they don't do heavy work. Are you financially challenged like yours truely, just a cheapskate like yours truely or do you feel a 110 is fine for some moderatly heavy work?.....Yours truely....mb..... :D I am all that Bruce hehe :D I feel that this anvil would be no problem at all with some moderate to very occasional heavy striking, of course a small striker's anvil theory has been proven by Brian Brazeal with his portable rig, while I might not go gangbusters with a 12 pounder on it for fear of missing I have no doubt that with good accuracy it could handle it no problem. Hollis, I am curious as well, I will try to source a rockwell tester and see if I can get both tested..... Quote
Sam Salvati Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Wayne, we got a different UPS guy this time he was extra burly hehe. Quote
ThomasPowers Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Stop looking at it and start SMITING! Quote
cheftjcook Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Sam I would love to see the postman's face every time has a drop at your house..LOL Cangrats buddy hope you enjoy it for a long time to come. I am going to have to find your new local and stop by to give it a go!!! I'll bring the refreshments...hehe Quote
ThomasPowers Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Last time I got a "USPS Flat Rate Box" all I got was the delivery slip and I had to come into town to pick it up. When they saw the slip they had *me* come behind the counter and down the hall to a room where the remnants of a box was overwhelmed by a *lot* of filament tape---so much that they told me the box was overweight! However I told them it weighed in at 2 pounds *under* at the post office it started from...68 pounds of the 70 pounds allowable. Chalk a big smile on that anvil! Quote
