NeatGuy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have a chance to purchace some large sawyers anvils and was wondering how easy they would be to resell if I was unhappy with them. They do not look like the cuttoff pyramid design that I am use too but rather large hardened ground slabs. The longest is 20" x 48" x 4" and the other is 16" x 36" x 6". The are resonably priced and I think they would be handy in the shop for straitening, etc. brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakwoodironworks Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I don't think you would have any problem re-selling them. If you where closer to GA, I would take one off your hands if you didn't like it. Good Luck. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKForge Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) And if you were in Georgia I would consider the other. Best of luck and show us some photos if you decide to get them they sound interesting. Edited January 13, 2009 by DKForge change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bower Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 If you've got access to sawyers' anvils, what about sawyers' hammers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeatGuy Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have a hammer identical to one of his and he actually offered to buy it. He has a very nice 2 1/2 lb sawyers hammer that I was going to photograph so I can copy it. When I pick up the anvils I will get some photos to post. brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeatGuy Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) I finally picked up one of my sawyers anvils. I also took several pictures of the other anvils and a sawyers hammer. 865lb anvil Sawyers hammer bradIf you post you photo to the gallery, then click on that photo to bring it up for viewing, then click on and copy the linked thumbnail, you can just paste that long linked thumbnail into your forum text where you want the thumbnail image to appear. When you click on the image in the forum it will then take you to the gallery and display your photo.

Lysdexik Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 OK now you've got my interest, how did they use these and for what. When I saw sawyers anvil in the post I thought you were talking about a tool to set the kerf, but I know what they look like - and thats not it - any info? Paul.

NeatGuy Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I belive they use them to set the kerf of the blade and to true or flatten blades. I will post an end view picture of the anvil so that the relief on the edges are more obvious. I also intend to clean the surface rust off and build a stand. It is intersting to note that some of the other anvils had pins on the ends to be mounted in trunions. I believe that they have square edges on one side and beveled edges on the other. brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysdexik Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hey Brad I went back to the images and expanded them (yeah I know, I'm not the brightest bulb on the porch, my wife swears that in my case PhD, stands for plain highschool diploma) the groove/channel in the face is more along the lines of the ones I have seen, just never that shape.
