May 1, 201610 yr Hey guys, long time reader, made an account recently, and now I have something to post. Had been looking for a chunk of steel to hammer on, and found this Fisher on Craigslist. A wire wheel and some hot steel should shine it up nice!
May 2, 201610 yr Looks like a good one, how much did you pay for it? Nice to see someone post a picture of a newly acquired old anvil without immediately asking for the best way to grind on it , weld it , mill it or otherwise ''repair'' it . Dress up the edges with a file to slight radius and then use it just as it is .
May 2, 201610 yr Author Was less then $3/lb, great deal in my eyes as it looks to have hardly ever been worked on.
May 2, 201610 yr I saw that today, Glad it went to a good home, I was thinking about getting it. Decent price, edges look, pits look bad but shouldn't affect the usage.
May 2, 201610 yr That fine lady will pretty right up for you. Good score! Hammer on! Frosty The Lucky.
May 2, 201610 yr Looks rather minty, and you'll love the quiet thud that Fisher's are known for. I have had other anvils, but after working on my Fisher, I wouldn't want to use anything else. Great anvils and you'll find yours is a perfect size for all manner of general smithery! Post some photos after you get her cleaned up so we can see her in all her glory!
