Woohoo...


  I just picked up a new ASO (Anvil Shaped Object, insulting blacksmithing term for cheap Indian or Russian made anvils).  It is 110# compared to the 55# that I am using now.  The 55# is getting pretty beat up.  That is what you get when you use ASO instead of real anvils.  However, I don't mind as I am still learning and still have the occasional errant blow to the anvil face.  Also, the Hardie hole is a better size and this anvil actually has a pritchel hole.  I'd rather screw up a $70 anvil as opposed to the $1500, 450# Peddinghaus I am planning on getting down the road.  So tomorrow I will be making a new anvil stand and getting back to work.
