I feel sorry for the table though.

Here are some photos of classic forges.


Sorry it is sideways but you can see the heavy use the anvil has seen.


I remember reading that the chinese anvils from HF were crappy but the Russian ones were pretty good. Not quite up there with the antique ones but way way cheaper. It is not like you spend all day making horseshoes either. Imagine how much work it took to do that to the anvil in my sideways photo?

I have a little cutlers anvil made from a railraod tie.
