[TheForge] Results of smoking crack...

I had a 138# Hay Budden that we rebuilt at the first NJBA workshop. 
When I was finished, it was almost a museum piece.  I sold it for $400 
to some guy from Trenton in 2000 and have regretted it since.  I doubt I 
will ever sell another anvil as long as I live.  It hurts way too much. :(
