primer_black Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beaudry Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 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 . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
primer_black Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Was less then $3/lb, great deal in my eyes as it looks to have hardly ever been worked on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlinn77 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frosty Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That fine lady will pretty right up for you. Good score! Hammer on! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ausfire Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That's a little ripper. Hasn't seen much hammer action - you'd better remedy that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaughnT Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WL smith Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 WOW use it in good health and make some beautiful art! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
