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.
