TBone Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Is anyone familiar with Woodward Fab anvils? http://www.woodwardfab.com/product-category/product/anvils/ They claim to be cast steel, and rockwell hardness 45-55. From the pictures they look like they are pretty rough finished then painted orange. The pritchel hole is at the base of the horn and they sit on what look like legs. The 154 lb anvil is $689 and the 220 lb is $899. Thoughts and experiences with these would be appreciated being I can't find any reviews online. btw about me... I am currently not blacksmithing but am slowly getting my equipment together so I can start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubiack Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 No experience with the Woodward anvil but if I were looking for an anvil in this price range I would strongly consider an Emerson Traditional anvil. They are made from a good grade of steel, properly hardened, and in about the same price range. http://emersonhorseshoe.net/21-anvils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU IN? Hard to make suggestions when we don't know what you may have access too---unless you are willing to pay for international shipping. If you were only in the USA I would advise you to take less money than that and go to a good blacksmithing conference and have your choice of anvils. I know of one fellow that the first time he went to Quad-State he bought 30 anvils---and had to buy a trailer to get them the 1500 miles home.

John McPherson Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, I am familiar with this company: they import low grade trash with a nice paint job and a slick sales pitch. It would not surprise me in the least to find out that the anvils were actually soft low grade cast iron. Then you get to pay shipping and hassle with returns.
