275#s

I picked this up a couple of years ago (when it was much cheaper) and am really impressed with it. I'm not a professional or anything, just a hobbyist.

That impresses me way more than I would have thought.

Very cool.

It has a very loud ring to it so I put a 1000# magnet underneath the horn to quiet it down. I still wear earplugs when pounding on it tho.

Have you tried dropping it on a coyote yet?

Real outdoorsmen know how to make an effective deadfall.

That's an impressive anvil!

Here's one like mine, a Cliff Carroll

Mine's more rusty though.

An anvil is a gateway drug.
Then you need hammers, tongs, hardies, a forge, etc
Not to mention a stand of some sort. A good size tree stump is classic.

Of course once you have the basics, you can forge your own blacksmithing tools.
That's how apprentices learned in the old days.
A bottomless rabbit hole.
