[TheForge] Re: Russian 110 # Anvil - YAK

Wed Jun 4 06:52:00 2003

I got it out of the crate, but need to make another anvil stand for it, but 
starting with fresh, crisp anvil edges and a flat surface might be fun.  My 
elbow is such that I don't use a great big hammer, and I work only hot 
steel, so it should keep its shape for a while.  Most of my hardy tools fit 
in just fine.  This one was on a sale for $79.99 with free shipping.  I 
didn't see how I could lose on it.
