I've always wanted an Anvil, but never really had a use for one. But I still want one because they are really cool!!!!

My truck driver friend who is always showing up with things knew that the one I had years ago wound up being left in Kuwait when I moved back to Texas and knew I needed or wanted one
He was watching an online auction saw it and at the last minute out bid and won it I'm not aware of or concerned with country of origin though I believe it to be somewhere in Eastern Europe not western Asia it is brand new weighs 400 LBS. has a 1 1/4" Hardy and a 7/8" pritchel made of cast steel and has an induction hardened face It is modeled closely but not perfectly after an 1800s Peter Wright. But who cares REALLY? It is probably made better than that of old and it will outlast me and several generations after me anyway.

A man can get great satisfaction from beating the snot out of something on an anvil. Nothing like it. I have a smaller, maybe 125lb Peter Wright. I use it 3-4 times a year. Nothing in the shop replaces it.

Me too! If I had one I would find a way to use it though. I would start by building a forge and then probably do some serious online learning. Some metal gate work and garden art for sure.

Yeah I'm lucky... Terry is only a couple hour drive and a 90min ferry for me! Of course there is the pesky border crossing.:smiley_aafz:
