November 12, 201213 yr I believe one is a 296lb Trenton (in really good shape), and the other is a 246lb Soderfors in pretty decent shape. I paid 600$ each on these, any thoughts? I'm still relatively new to this stuff so I wanted to see if you guys thought I made a decent deal or not. Thanks for your help, Lodestone
November 13, 201213 yr Any time you can get a decent anvil for close to $2 per pound, I'm calling it a good deal. A dollar a pound is a better deal, but two bucks is well worth it in my opinion!
November 13, 201213 yr Author whew, thanks guys! I'm never quite sure what I'm doing with these deals, but im glad to hear i did ok. I fired up the forge tonight and tried out the Trenton, man it was nice. Going from a 140lb anvil to a 296lb makes a huge difference in stability! Lodestone
November 13, 201213 yr I'd say you did well considering I did a similar deal today for a pretty clean Hay Budden
November 13, 201213 yr Looks like great anvils; but did you need both? Lots of other tools that second $600 could go for!
