[TheForge] treadle hammer anvils

[Bruce Freeman]

Bob,

Have you ever seen a Peter Wrong anvil?  There's one hanging overhead in =
Gichner's store that's very convincing.  You'd think it's solid to look at =
it.  It's actually fabbed out of sheet metal, maybe 16-ga.

How'd  you like to do all your work work on that anvil instead of, say, a =
Peter Wright anvil.

Nuff said?

i am building a treadle hammer for a friend. he is not sure whether to go =
with a solid anvil or a tube type. it seems that most commercially =
available t hammers have tube anvils with a plate on top, centaur, =
kirkpatric (the same?) and the one advertised in the hammers blow.

are there others that can be bought?

any opinions on the functional difference between solid or tube anvils? =
the guy i am making it for is concerned about moving it (weight). he lives =
in a flood plain and his shop has 7' of water in it some springs. he =
usaully loads thing up and moves it to high ground till the water goes =
down.
