Getting closer to done. I have some painting to do, and benches to build, but the main construction work is pretty much finished. Electrical and lights is next.
I stacked the anvils for a beauty shot.
From the bottom:
Two Armor's anvils (under flat anvil) Probably 10# and 20#. They fit on a heavy stand with a large hardie hole. Round one is flat, rectangle one is domed.
400# flat anvil
154# Hay Budden
72# Vulcan
25# RR anvil
10# Chinese anvil
Two 6oz. jewelers anvils
On the cut shelf of the Hay Budden is a custom cutlers anvil
Peeking out from behind the stack is an antique caulking vise with the nail anvil dies in the slot. This was Bill Moran's.
In the shot of the forge with the white door in the background is a 250# post anvil.
Not in the photo is the Atlas #1 prototype anvil. It stays in the main shop.
I think there are a few more small anvils laying around,... somewhere.
Everything has been in an open smithy for the past 20-30 years. Even with BBQ covers over them, humidity has put on light surface rust. All these and the other big equipment will get wire brushed, treated with phosphate restorer, and painted.

Enclosures set up for the laser and CNC! Finally got off my butt and got this done. Still have tools and accessories to move out into the garage, but I can fire them up and use them out there without the smell in the house!!
