tallgrass Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 First I like to just look at the things that members here make. I am not a blacksmith and probably will never try it as I have too many other hobbies to add another one. I saw the attached ad for an odd anvil on craigslist and thought someone here might want it. It is not my anvil and I do not know the person who is selling it. So if posting it is unacceptable please just delete my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That's a neat looking anvil. Big boy too! Price is good in my book, just too far for me. Thanks for sharing, I've never seen an anvil like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowland Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 It looks like a dog - literally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoyoteGear Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I like bridge anvils, I think they're neat. Don't know how well they would work as there is very little mass under the mid section but one day I will still add one to my shop.... Maybe use it as a foot rest?

ThomasPowers Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I own a bridge anvil that was made for reforging cable tool drilling bits. Like most from that use/era it's face was pounded to bits and like a whole lot of them it was also made from cast iron. I can't tell if it was ductile vs plain. I saw a similar one in a shop of a 5th generation smith in Stroud OK where he had flipped it over and cleaned up the base and used it as a truing plate for adjusting plow shares...I mainly use mine in the armour shop to hold stakes.
