Rascal Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 May want to purchase swage block from on-line auction. What do I look for if I must purchase based on the picture. It weighs 200 lbs---would that indicate it's a good one ---purchasing as a gift for blacksmith that needs one. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Request more photos from the seller. They should be happy to send photos of all sides, and all edges. If not, there may be a problem with the swage block and or the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'll click "User CP" at the top of the page and edit your profile to show your location it'll really help. There are likely to be folk close enough to lend you a hand directly.
