The Workhorse
In the top photo you can see a 12" ruler between the legs of this 556 pound anvil. These anvils come in a variety of weights from 180 pounds up to 556 pounds. They look similar to a London style anvil but have several important differences.They don't have a pritchel hole, but do offer an offset face that has a kind of bench that runs along for part of the face. This bench allows you to radius part of the offside face of the anvil and can function as a fuller for drawing out and bending hot steel.
This type of anvil has been used for centuries on the continent of Europe. On the home page you can see a photo of a blacksmith making a scroll on the face of an anvil that looks exactly like the one I offer. In place of a pritchel hole most smiths will make a bolster (1/4" thick flat piece of steel) and drill or punch a variety of holes in it. This bolster is then placed over the hardy hole and used to back up all punching operations.
