Stash Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah, real nice work. I'm guessing you would do a rebound test with a marble! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dirt_devil132000 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Would love to buy some Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 You may want to consider making the base/feet thicker. They look prone to chipping/breaking at the thickness they are now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frosty Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I LIKE em, a little tuning up and I think you have a very marketable item on your hands. A thicker foot is a good idea, stronger and look better. I think you have something excellent brewing. As good as the anvils look the banana looks more real. <VBG> Frosty The Lucky.

eseemann Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What kind of glass would you use in the casting? Very neat gift idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dakotarios Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'd buy one. I love the colors! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheftjcook Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Very cool! I like it!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kayakersteve Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If you begin to sell them, I would be interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LastRonin Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Aww man... be neat to have a set of ice trays/forms for making ice cubes for the drinks at forge meetings/hammer ins. Sorry... my imagination got triggered. Cool looking knick-knacks. I have to agree with the others that it'd look even better with thicker feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dntfxr Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 How's the rebound!? :-D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LastRonin Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 How's the rebound!? :-D Pretty good as long as you use a superball? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevan Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Like! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
windancer Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 You have a marketable produce there- if blacksmiths are willing to pay you know it is a hit. Fix the base, make more colors and get busy casting! Where can we see them for sale? Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dabbsterinn Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Aww man... be neat to have a set of ice trays/forms for making ice cubes for the drinks at forge meetings/hammer ins. Sorry... my imagination got triggered. would also be nice to have a crucible to pour the water(or orange juice for colour effect) into the ice tray, (my imagination got triggered too) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo7 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thicker base, air bubbles? don't know if i like them with or without, kinda gives them that used not new anvil look. Marketable all over the world. good idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bikecopXXX Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like! figured out pricing yet? i'd suggest several styles other than farrier also. and thicker feet . black glass would look cool, like black Onyx or anthracite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brower Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Gabe, I have been looking for small glass transparent or translucent anvils for a couple of projects I am doing involving ACME Products. Can I buy 1 or two from you? I plan on making my own as I have a programmable temp controll Kiln good to 2,000° but don’t know or have never done glass casting let alone making a mold, I have made the model out of wax and I think I need to order a specific type of Clay?? until then, can you help me? thanks so much, Rick Brower So.

Daswulf Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks of hard rock candy when I see these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeremy k Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 You realize this thread is from 2014 and the original poster has not been on the site since then. Always good to check the last first and last posts dates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
George N. M. Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I have always wanted an anvil shaped helium balloon to fly over my booth at fairs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
