Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 1- Hay Budden 2- Fisher Norris 3- Peter Wright Bit of a qualifier though we own a Hay Budden and have experience with a Fisher Norris, love both but have never used a Peter Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Fisher, HB, PW Fisher is my main anvil-very quiet My HB is kind of lonely PW-seen a lot of the with sway pounded into them. Mine has a dip near the horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Funny I own pretty much 2 of each of those. The 500#+ Fisher is my heavy work shop anvil. The HB's see a bunch of work with the PW's a bit less. (Part of that is one of the HBs is 134# and so is the largest travel anvil I take to teach and the 112# PW goes for classes too. The two 165# HB & PW are used for in the shop teaching.) If I didn't have an anvil and had to buy one for ornamental work I'd go HB, PW, Fisher (due to shape). If I didn't have an anvil and had to buy one for tool making or bladesmithing it would be Fisher, HB, PW If the PW outweighed the HB by 100 pounds then I'd probably go with the HB. I also have a Powell, an Arm and Hammer, a large Trenton (and as of Saturday a small Vulcan---for a short time), a bridge anvil; the remains of several abused anvils and a couple of stake anvils I've made using sledgehammer heads from the old mines out here and a RR spike driving sledge as well. I also have a historical styled stake anvil---sort of a cube with a spike on the bottom Anvils are like cars; it's not just the make---it needs to be a model that does what you need it to do!

blacksmith-450 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Finally my friends bought the Hay Budden and the Fisher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Hammer Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The fisher has dandruff but looks like a solid performer. At that price you did ok so long as the HB weld job was done correctly. Is there weld repairs on the HB? Tough to tell by that pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksmith-450 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 LOL! The Fisher, wire brush and head&shoulders, everything will be fine ! For the HB, I didn't see it «live» but I don't think there is some repair on it... anyway, my friend will use it for his students,... better beat that one than his good one. The price was very good for both.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
