MTFBWY Eps: 32 - Peter Wright 84lb Anvil!!!!

Thanks to my friend Ed, i now have a proper anvil! its a 84lb Peter Wright anvil. I started cleaning it up, and once i get my hands on a wire wheel for my angle grinder, ill finish it up. I just got too antsy and wanted to try it out. having a proper anvil means that i can put in about half the work to get the same result! The anvil will put in as much as i am with the rebound it has! AWESOME! but now i have to build a few new hardy hole tools, as this anvil has a smaller one than my mild steel home-built one haha!
