dperk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I first have to say thanks to Stewart(thesmith) for giving me a great deal on this anvil, arranging all the shipping, and being a really great person to deal with! Here is the anvil as I brought it back from FedEx freight, yes that is a car: Here is how I got it out of my car: Nice flat and big work area: Not a huge fan of the paint: Worked all day on it: (disregard the mess, the barn is in transition right now :) ) Ready to go, already used it tonight :) more pictures in the GALLERY Thanks again Stewart, just what I needed!

VaughnT Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 That's a beautiful anvil, and I really like the work you did on the stand. One suggestion.... Use that beauty to forge some brackets that you can mount to the stump and bolt the two together. At 250#, the anvil isn't going to bounce and walk under the hammer's blow, but it would certainly look fantastic if you bolted them together. I'm thinking something nice with some scrollwork and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wd&mlteach Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 So a couple of weeks ago in the middle of hurricane Sandy I spy this anvil on CL. I contacted the guy right away and made arrangements to have a budy of mine in Philly pick it up after work. As I myself had to work and could not get there soon enough. I thought "It was as good as mine," and it was also 75 dollars for a 250 pound Fisher. The guy posted it saying "it was no good for blacksmithing as it did not have the ring." Wow what a spectacular deal, I thought. Then my buddy goes to pick it up and the guy says he sold it. The fellow sold it to in his word "some pushy fellow" that still asked for the five dollars back after he gave him $80. Hah! I guess dperk you are the final winner here. I am glad it went to somebody that will use it, good luck in all you do with it and thanks for posting pictures. I may be wrong but it sure looks like the one I was going to get.
