Chris Williams Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Without knowing more about the cast steel anvil on Facebook, I can hardly advocate for one over the other. I can tell you that the 66 lb anvil from Amazon can be had at slightly less than $2 per pound shipped on eBay. You can read others' impressions of it here: I just bought one for my 6 year old to work with while he learns to hit the same place repeatedly. It even came with a tiny cross peen hammer (unadvertised and ~4-6 Oz.) that I will give to my 3 year old. I cannot comment on the quality of it forging yet, but the casting seems to be sound.

ThomasPowers Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Can we at least see the other anvil to compare? 66 vs 70 pounds is not much difference for the added US$100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
