Can't wait, counting down the hours as my new baby arrives, well new addition as it is second hand!
Through a friend i have managed to source an Anvil so hopefully i can continue my learning.
The current owner reckons it is in the region of 150kg, so i can't complain and it is coming from a Local
Farrier who obviously cannot cart around an Anvil that size in his van. I have looked for a time on e-bay but
most of what i found in an affordable price range was either right up north or impossible to pick up as i am
down in sunny Devon. Also a lot of what i found was being sold by clueless folk who stick these wonderful
tools in the garden as blooooooooooooody ornaments, worse still they paint them pretty colours as well.
Most bizarre was that in three months i never came across one decent condition and sized Anvil in the
west country, second week of January i find four in the space of two days!! All four were close by as well,
I decided to break my e-bay cherry and place some bids, with a day to go the Anvil i am buying crops
up locally, and would you believe i am winning all four bids and seriously starting to worry!!
Hopefully have a picture in the next couple of days of the Anvil !!
HAPPY BASHING
