[TheForge] Old Anvils

[Aaron R Williams]

Hello group

I have been reading the talk on refacing of old anvils and I have learned
a lot but I was wondering if there is any of the older anvils that you
shouldn't try this to or that it is not worth doing it to.  I have found
an abused Peter Wright 248lb that is selling for $350.  Every thing I
have found on used anvil prices is 1.00 to 3.00 a pound.  The guy that is
offering me the anvil is going to help me fix it at no charge other than
that I help.  He has been refacing anvils and reselling them for years
locally.  What do you think?

Also on another subject,  a little wile ago I asked for information on
schooling  I was wondering if you thought it makes a difference if one
gets a formal education in this art or if they are just self taught with
going to workshops and reading books and lots of practice?  Will it make
a difference on how one is accepted and will it make a difference in what
they charge.

Thanks
