Awesome Anvil

Je suis un débutant et c'est parfait pour forger. Le dessus a fini par être bosselé, mais ça m'empêche pas de m'amuser à forger. Pour un débutant c'est super !

So I got one of these anvils not long after Old Hickory Forge posted his review video, mine came with some kind of clear coat on the face, (which I only noticed after trying the anvil the first time and the coating burned and stank) and the horn was painted, and still rough casting texture. I attacked the thing with a flap disc, got the coating off the face, dressed up the edges, The ring on the thing is fierce. Mounted down to my loose stump gets it tolerable, I think if I had a set stump it’d calm it down more. The pritchel hole is mostly worthless due to its location, but I did make some holdfasts that work in it. The hardy hole is a bit to close to the body of the anvil, so if you are punching through the hardy, your punch can hit the body/foot of the anvil and get stuck. Not world ending, but makes drifting a bit touchy.I just made a bolster plate that works like a saddle to more or less let you use the hardy as a pritchel, will see how helpful that is.Only real complaint is the location of the hardy/pritchel holes, and the horn on mine is kinda awkwardly fat, more like the toe of a boot instead of a cone. If I get fed up enough with the horn I may try and grind it down to a more useful shape.All said, for starting out and working on smaller projects it is a perfectly acceptable starter anvil. The double horn really does come in handy for dealing with small pieces, and the price is hard to beat.

Use full tool.$90 for a cast iron anvil.Cast iron is brittle and soft.The anvil dents easily but thats to expected from cast iron.Don't use a 10lbs hamer on it ,you'll brake it.If it becomes to much dented flip it upside down on a belt grinder.Otherwise spend $250 for Carbon steel one

As expectyed

It's a smaller anvil, as expected, but functionally it works as intended, even if there was some confusion/issue with the shipping. Still, it's an anvil, and it works.

This makes a very good starter and Bill, was better than I expected. After several half mast and completely missed blows with a 2 1/2 pound hammer there is no damage to the face. Highly recommended.

Great anvil and works perfect for blacksmithing

Great value for the money. I have not had the opportunity to use the anvil but it appears to be well made, sturdy and durable. I look forward to this anvil getting lots of use.

Not bad of a little anvil for what it is. The seller is great to deal with and the product arrived fast and it was exactly as I expected. Good for a starter anvil.
