Anybody Need A 540 lb Anvil? Comes With A Stand!

Thanks for the link. My anvil is not worn out yet but it can't hurt to have a spare around in case mine breaks when the stores are closed.

... if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the mor-oor--ning ..

I wonder if it'll fit in the trunk of my small Honda?

Anvils are that expensive? Link says the anvil cost $3250 new. Also odd that a business bought all of this new equipment and then did not use it. What is up with that?

Yeah, that's what I thought. The guy probably doesn't know what he's doing or was to do. Any knowing smithy can do most any job with a much smaller anvil.

I think someone has been watching "Forge in Fire" and entered the arena with high hopes and little knowledge?

He's trying to rip people off. You can get it for $3245.

I'll bet there's lots of us wondering the same thing.

He does post a nice ad though. ;-)

Probably watched too many episodes of _Forged in Fire_.

Well.... Back twenty, thirty years ago, when This Old House was still newish, and Norm had his furniture making show, I suspect a few of us bought woodworking tools because of watching those shows. I confess.

Well.... Some of us were hooked twenty or thirty years before that. ;-)

I remember that soon after I bought my first router I was watching the New Yankee Workshop. I was pretty pumped that I had bought a really cool tool. Then I realized that when Norm wanted to rout a certain profile, he didn't change router bits, he changed routers. He had a big drawer that held at least a half dozen routers. That brought me right back down to earth.

Now I have 3 - full size, trim and one in the router table, so I'm still changing bits.

I have six, three full-size (one needs new brushes), trim, and two in tables/lifts (one of the lifts doesn't get used anymore but given some time I may build it into my saw table).

Changing a bit isn't a big deal but it takes time, something they don't have a lot of between commercials. That's something I don't have much of, either, but saving time on a bit change isn't going to help.
