Had to skip your other anvil videos for now; forged on my 275 pound Peter Wright all afternoon, so I had to watch this one first. The pride of my shop, without a doubt. I was lucky to find it, and luckier not to have to pay an arm and a leg for it.
Picked up my Peter wright 35 years ago on a old barn restoration. I’m a carpenter and work metal as a hobby. I was going to have my brother cnc the top flat but not sure I should. Thx for the answer on the pock marks, mine is covered with them.
I have a peter wright, about 205 lbs. I use it all the time. I can see 2 hundredweight markings and the main stamp is gone, but the classic step is there and the shape is right on the mark.
I bought a 4 pound or maybe more(6pounds) since it’s a solid Peter wright miniature anvil. Paid a handful of pretty Pennie’s for it! Well worth it as it’s very beautifully cast with the lettering Peter wright, patent, London on one’s side. It’s 9.25” long and 3.75” high. The example I got, the seller claimed it’s brass/bronze. Was hoping to get a cast iron one which I have seen that’s the same size and all but are hollow . Even so one could use em lightly for little things. Wondering if you knew about these miniature Peter wrights.
@@letsgo6500 I believe so, wish these were made as good as the real ones so one could use them too! But they look really nice. Will look nice on a wooden stump with a tiny hammer
Very cool! I just bought a Peter Wright Anvil that I believe is 102 Pound according to the numbers, which I hope to restore in a video. It seems to be in great shape, but heavy rust. Would you recommend a wire wheel to clean it up, then oil to preserve it?
Muito bom vídeo. Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.
Awesome, I love this kind of content and seeing another smiths tools.

Have seen some small ones. I think they call them salesman anvils.. for salesman to show when they out showing new products.
