Steve from Ruralblacksmith said about my earlier post Great Cheap Anvils!!!

"Those cast iron anvils can be polished up for light work and jewelry. But Cast Iron is brittle and has little rebound. Heavy work on hot iron is easier on a wrought iron and steel or cast steel anvil. The Pieh TFS anvil at Northern is one example of a solid anvil. Old World Anvils is another. They import from Europe. The Bulgar and Smaller Austrian are reasonable for an anvil that will last a long time. I've never bought a new anvil. All of mine are old, and can be found for around 2$ per pound. Not a bad deal for something that will outlast you. The cast iron anvils aren't bad, just not as well suited for forging iron."

Here is the link for the Pieh TFS 150lb Anvil !!

Thanks Steve!
