I like the blacksmithing videos. Am a lifelong welder/fabricator, but my dream has always been to be a custom knife maker. I really enjoy this sort of video. Thanks.

WOW! huda thot there was someone on YT who intelligently offers genuine information pertaining only to the subject matter, precise and to the point without droning on and on like a hyped used car salesman for the 1st half of their video begging to be "liked - subscribed" ect ect.

Thanks for singing the gospel! I've seen people buying "so-so" anvils for new anvil prices and I don't get it. I finally figured out that people don't realize they can get new anvils still.

Going to look at a 141 peter wright today, after a 12+ month search it's the first local and reasonably priced anvil I've found. I've been researching all week to try and be armed with as much useful information as possible in making a decision. Terrified of making a bad decision.

I would love to see a video on the repair job. Too bad the antiquers have Ruined the anvil market!

[@deadhorse1391]

I've been buying anvils for over 25 years and probably own 30 some now. Never paid over $1 a pound and got many for half that or less

Very informative video, Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us! I'd also really like to see these repairs so I'll be looking for them on your channel hahaha. I'm going to keep all this info in mind when looking for an anvil or anvil substitute haha

[@bigunone]

As always great information

[@natbasart6213]

Great video and very helpful. I’ve got an old Acme anvil with some edge damage that I thought could be fixed with hard rod but then heard you run the risk of taking the temper out of the steel and that it might not be worth the effort. I’d love to know the proper way of fixing this if possible and if you might post a video. Thanks

[@k9cop998]

Thank you for the information.

[@MrTarfu]

Will you be filming the repairs? I'd love to see that.
