Anvil Needed

[G L Drew]

I am tired of chasing my little 55 pound anvil around my shop. Anyone have a 150 to 250 pounder for sale within driving distance of western NC? It can be in about any shape, I can rebuild one for the right price.

I have mixed feelings about Ebay, but, you may be able to get a decent deal on one.

Gerry, Big Blu Hammer is having a hammerin at their shop in Morganton, NC on March 21. There will be tailgating and vendors. Here is the info http://www.bigbluhammer.com/events/spring_2009.htm
You have a good chance of finding one there.
I am planning on going if nothing gets in the way.

I been thinking............on ebay you see alot of 4140 in good size diameters, this stuff can be heat treated with a torch and water as I do my hammers. you could take a piece of this and make your own such as a 3" round or larger and sink it in concrete,

my opinion is that a hammer head is no larger than 1.5" like on my japanese hammers so do you really need a large surface for small knives,,,,,,,,,,,,i would think not. I have never done this but I am sure it will work, I also know that it is better this way than a harbor freight hammer.

I do know a guy in fayetteville, nc that has a bunch of anvils from 55 lbs to 300, but he wants top dollar, I saw the 300 lbers and are really nice, if I didnt have a 250 lb I would get one from him.

just my two cents worth.
