Judson Yaggy Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Would love to know what they were doing with this one. On my local craigslist in the granite quarrying part of the state, the mods look quite purposeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ivan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Possibly to accept tooling for heavier work then you could do over the heel? As for the holes on the cutting block, i've heard that they were sonetimes used for riveting in standardized work...can't say for sure though. Mostly i just want to hear what others with more experience have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Did the lister have any history on it? That hole in the sweet spot would drop the price by about 50% for me; the others not so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 No response from the seller re modified usage. My guess is basically what Ivan suggested above, but would love to hear other guesses. Anyone else see an odd line in the underside profile of the heel? Please note that the title of this post while slightly more accurate than the one I originally wrote was not in fact written by me. I don't mind correction but attribution would be polite.

fordmustangbrad Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'd use it as a hardy cannon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The original title was Modified anvil. That could mean many things, in my opinion, and not descriptive enough. Modified anvil, any idea why? is much more descriptive and encourages the viewer to open the thread and read about the modification, then suggest a reason as to why it may have been modified. Small descriptive changes make the titles easier to remember or search. Six months or a year from now the altered title will still encourage visitors to open and read the thread.

Charles R. Stevens Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Judson, Glenn comes around and sweeps up behind many of us, lol. I personaly apretiate it (really check out my spelling!) My experiance is that 99% you get a heads up, be it a message, email or even a call. But contrary to popular belife he is all to human, and forgets.

Nobody Special Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Perhaps it's a swiss anvil? Hmmmm now I have a craving for cheese...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ivan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 After you pointed that out i tool a closer look and it actually looks like 3/4 of the face is missing.... Also if there is a slight recess under the heel/hardy hole, it xan be a sign of wedge designed hardy tools being used in the past. Jim Coke told me about those and you may be able to find pics on gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
