2Tim215 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I had to make a axe and small knife for a client that had an anvil I wanted. I made the axe and then decided to make another, he chose this one Over this one previously shown And this is what I got - A whopping 235 kgs Will post a side view when I can get it all off the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torin Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Now that is an impressive anvil. And looks to be in pretty good shape too! I'd say you got a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yep, some women are like that.... Looks like both of you came out on the good side. Fantastic looking ax, both of them, and a beautiful anvil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tim215 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks Thomas. By the way I saw that "Slee-wa" of yours and hope you don't mind if I steel the idea as a gift for my Mom. Awesome piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Now THAT'S a shop anvil! Nice axes but I like the one he picked myself. I like the finer layers, the contrast is excellent in both. Outstanding work, you did well, VERY well. Do you have a concrete floor in your shop? If so rent an engine hoist to move your new anvil. If you have a soil floor the options all are more labor intensive and slow. In some situations like this the best option is to throw a BBQ for a few friends and just have the gang pick it up and place it where you want it. Frosty The Lucky.

VaughnT Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just imagine how nice an axe you can make on a behemoth of an anvil like that! Great trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tim215 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks Frosty. Me and 2 friends barely moved her yesterday and couldn't lift her off the floor so might have to hire a forklift LOL Thanks Vaughn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
