How to weigh a heavy anvil...


Recommended Posts

I just posted the answer on the other posting about this anvil.  The easy answer is: Ask someone who has an identical one.  I weighed mine and the answer is 196 lb.  No math, no displacement, no hauling, no made up words, no twin scales, no buying books.  I posted the dimensions of mine so he can check that we are talking about identical anvils.  One of his photos shows the anvil with a 12" ruler for the height, which is  13" on both.  He can check if the rest of the measurement match.

Surprised nobody has suggested using a fish/game scale. Amazon sells one rated at 440 lbs for less than 50 bucks. Could probably find a cheaper deal by shopping around.

 

But he would still have the original problem of lifting it, as he posted in post #1.  I believe for this thread, any more comments are moot.  He already has his answer.
