New axe maker Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 After over a year at staring at the nimba anvils on the website. I put in an order today for a 120lbs titan! No more used anvils for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedefiddle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Good Morning, You will not be sorry!! You may want to put some Silicone under it, when you put it on your Anvil Block. Makes hearing last longer. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Congrats! I'm still on the fence myself, been drooling over one for years. I just don't get to forge enough to justify it. Perhaps on next year's tax return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm planning on building a full Metal stand for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just now, New axe maker said: I'm planning on building a full Metal stand for it. Having made the leap from "spiked to a stump" to "siliconed to metal" last year, I heartily agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have a large diameter pipe with 6x12 wooden center beam laying on it. I think it's about time to get something more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm jealous. My anvil is so ductile it's not funny. I love the look of those Nimba. If you're not a ferrier, and are doing heavy work (like hammer making, or even blade making rather than straightening long pieces that requires the long heel), they look more sensible to me than the London pattern.

New axe maker Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Well I have a 300lbs rail anvil I made that I use for long pieces that need straightening out. It's just to big for normal work. The only problem I have with getting this nimba anvil is that I'm going to have to wait until around June to get it. They have to finish making it and ship it up to alaska.

I think it's about time to get something more stable. You may want to consider how to make the anvil stand adjustable in height. This would allow for different projects that might come through your shop, or even allow strikers or other blacksmiths to use the anvil.

New axe maker Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 My though is build a metal stand out of square tubing and us a smaller diameter tubing to go inside it to make it taller. I'm not sure how to make it shorter yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Screw type house jacks. Going to be at the March meeting? You've seen my stand, it's easy peasy to make though adjusting anvil height means changing your elevation. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I should be at the march meeting. when is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Saturday the 25th. at Pat's place. Usual starting time around 9:00 and runs till enough of us wander off that Pat closes up. I don't even know if we have demo or we'll have to wing it. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Dang. I'm on call this weekend so I don't know if I can make it. I'll try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I;ll keep my fingers crossed. We'll work it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not making it to the meeting. But I will bring my new baby to the next one. 2 weeks left until it shows up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Bummer, we'll just have to get together another time. I really look forward to checking out your new lady. The next meeting after is May 6th. again at Pat's. Unless something causes us to change the date. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'll be at that one for sure. It's my birthday weekend so I'm excluded from being called in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Cool. We should try to meet up before then though and get you going on multi port (ribbon) burners. They really are easy to make and a lot easier to tune than a plain T burner. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New axe maker Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Anvil finally got here! But I have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up from the shipping yard. I will post pics of her when I get her home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
