Good morning!!!!

Did the rounds of thrifts and antique emporia, got some good deals, then found an anvil that rings beautifully and was “reasonably” priced, and then further discounted because of paying cash. Final price worked out to $3.65/lb —— 137lb for $500.

Swedish cast steel, by way of Lancaster PA.

More Anvil Pix (because I know someone would say the stamping image was insufficient…):

I am going to cut a round from one of the logs stacked in my driveway, to mount the anvil on.

I just made a stencil outlined off the base (which is solid, not hollow, so it isn’t suitable for launching, but it could be a launchpad…) so I can carve a recess for it to sit in:

52F clear sky.

Busy day at work...whew.
I turn the garden soil over yesterday but I guess not good enough,Mrs. said 3 fox pups were in the garden digging and the dirt was flying as the bark about half an hour...wish she got it on video...those little buggers sure can dig deep. 😳

Plans for the evening just going to numb it.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 18.6C, fairly clear & calm. Woodheater is off, probably until Monday... Ahh, Spring, eh?

Well, it's 'into town' day for mail & groceries. Not much on for the remainder.

That's about it, take care all.
