Hello all,

I hope this post finds you in good health and good spirits. I found this forum because of Rene Roy and his post about finding a Hay-Budden anvil. I too recently found for sale a Hay-Budden anvil and went online looking for more information about it, to learn the history of it. I found this forum through Google and was very moved by the sentiment expressed for Rene. I did not know the man, but I feel honor for him.

I recently bought this Hay-Budden anvil for my husband, who asked for one for an anniversary present. I was lucky enough to actually find an anvil for sale in my state, and I bought it. Turns out, it is about a hundred years old, but I started my journey of learning more about it after typing in Hay-Budden into Google and finding and reading a thread here, on this forum. I myself, am not a blacksmith, nor a blademaker, although I have always loved knives and have a fondness for them. I just felt a need to express my empathy for a maker lost.

My condolences.

I've been here long enough to be familar with Rene. It was a sad day when I heard of his passing. He was a good man and loved people. I miss him. Thanks for the mention of him.

I was lucky enough to have had the pleasure of witnessing Rene's presence on BF too .

He was a frequent poster here on ShopTalk and always had something good to say.

You're so right Mace ....... he's still doing good things :)


and he is missed ! :thumbup:
 
Rene was a big man with a bigger heart and I think about him often it was a sad day for sure when I got word of his untimely passing I had sat and talked with him just a few days before too at a NCCA show . :(
he was one of the BOD's for Necka from it's inception and now a life time member in our club and our members minds.

Rest in peace Rene..
