oakwoodironworks Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I sure would hate to be the one trying to get it into the house without scratching the floor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revtor Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Looks like a typical highschool metalworking tabletop. Two pexto plates, steel edge, laminated maple. Waste of big anvils? I'll leave that for you to decide.. Cheers from a High School tech teacher -my first post!! ~Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrin Aybarra Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 You know, they COULD be fake anvils. Perhaps they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judson Yaggy Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 For the $10 or $15 THOUSAND that table probably sold for I'd sell my anvils and work bench. The bigger of those anvils looks like one of those English industrial anvils that Matchless Antiques sells on ebay regularly. I wonder how you get connected with a NYC interior designer looking for pieces like that without selling your soul to the devil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shralp Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 That's got to be uncomfortable for long, tall Uncle Stan to get his feet under the table at Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Description from the Matchlessantique/Blacksmith Barn FB page.............. TINSMITH TABLE WITH ANVIL LEGS The owner of this one-of-a-kind table has provided us with more information on this wonderful piece of functional art. The anvil on the left is a 265 lb Trenton Anvil and the one on the right is a 378 lb Peter Wright Anvil. He bought the Peter Wright from us. The Trenton, the 75 lb tinsmith tools supporting the table, and the 425 lb table had been in the family for many years. The owner's wife of 30 years wanted something special done wi th her late father's tools. As all good husbands would do, he embarked on a building project to make his wife happy. The table was in bad shape, so he cut it down, refinished it, but left the distressed look as is. He used the cut offs for the anvil bases. He reinforced the floor joists in the room, which he said, was a job all in itself. The verdict? His wife and family love it and get to enjoy it together all year round! What have you done for your spouse lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 They are not taking damage sitting there and someday one of the kids just might get an interest in smithing and run into a WONDERFUL find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
