150lb Peter Wright. Picture taken after welding up the stand. Drilled/tapped blind holes, bolted to the plate. Filled the legs with sand, has a nice clunk to it.
Built a forge using a Chile Forge 1" burner. Just figuring this all out. Made a few tools so far, Hardie hole hot cutoff, tongs... Forged some simple things, leafs.... Good friend who forges straight razors schooled me on forge welding. Will attempt to forge a tomahawk soon. Fold over/forge weld mild steel, forge weld a 1095 bit for the cutting edge.
Hardie hole hot cut off I forged, when just about finished. Made from a piece 1 1/8 Jeep axle shaft.

The 155 lb Trenton anvil I bought in Bonners Ferry. I was on the bike so I have to head back up there later this week to bring it home. Hard to tell in the pic but I'm guessing it's about 20" long. Includes a nice hardy wedge, too:

Surface looks good. What are you using your anvils for? Make any projects yet?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Pfft... My anvils are like all most of the guns I have. Just fun to look at and fondle once in a while. There's a forge in my future but I haven't gone down that road yet.
