Anybody know anything about old anvils?

I'm sure you could hammer out a better deal.

brother if you ever pound on a anvil everyday for years-you CAN"T pay to much for a GOOD ONE, I'm 95% deft at high pitch's and my wrist are useless, and that was with good anvil and sledge (5lb), when I retired and sold off my GEAR-I made 2-3 call's and it was all sold with no Haggleing, thing's were bought by guy's that knew the diff.

I once bought a dog that had been trained by a Blacksmith.

When I got him home, he made a bolt for the door!

Useful dog!

find a local blacksmith group and join in they share the same interests. I've found the local smiths here in North Texas seem to more interested than I am in bladesmithing. So I belong to a group out of Austin that has a lot of artists.

It can be very addicting. There's something special about moving metal with heat and a hammer.
