CHEAP ANVILS!!!! No More Craigslist JUNK!

[@AbomAdventures]

Absolutely right about the CL anvils, prices are out of sight!

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

Abom Adventures I had no Idea you had another channel! BINGE TIME!!!

[@michaebr]

And some of the criagslist finds are beat to hell It's like dropping $500 on a Highpoint.

[@hdrjunkie]

It’s because mindless people with a lot of cash buy them...same goes for eBay. I go to flea markets and see things that are just junk going for insane prices, I ask the seller about it and the basic reply I usually get is, “ that’s what they go for on ebay!” Thats when I say, thanks and walk away...

[@hdrjunkie]

...also, see the prices of old used axes now, climbing higher and higher every day. You can still find cheap ones but I have even started seeing more and more hatchets going for $20.00 up to $40.00 each!

[@hebson21]

@@hdrjunkie i was just at a flea market yesterday and saw all kinds of old beat to piss hatchets with chiped blades and broken handles for $60 to $150. Maybe they were trying to sell them as decor, no idea...

[@jeffsandling5981]

Clicked on this thinking you found some warehouse hoard, then was like Holy Cow! that's where I buy my coal!...about 20mins from me. When I was getting started he spent like an hour explaining things, giving tips and invited me to their Tuesday night hammer in and all I was buying (that day) was one pair of tongs to get started. Second time I was there I met a full time blacksmith that's been helping me out pretty much weekly every since. AWESOME shop, AWESOME folks! That's Texas Hospitality! Thanks for featuring this!

[@markthemythical8383]

Jeff Sandling where is this

[@HVACguy1911]

Where is this place I’m near Houston?

[@SSHitMan]

That is a great deal, but there's no roadrunners where I live nor high cliffs so I have no use for an anvil.

[@ihadabadday7709]

It is truly disgusting what has happened to the used anvil market!!! Nice video.

[@MrGonzo22]

I ran into this shop about 17-18 yrs ago one time comming back from the Range... I bought a set of tongs and some coal in a pile outside that I paid for by the pound.. shoveled it into a bucket I had in the back of my truck and got started... I haven't been back in several years as I ended up moving to Dallas and in an apt... I'm back out on a small patch of land and going to set up once again... started looking at vids on anvils and so glade I clicked on this one... 😎

[@TrentPierceProjects]

Wish I had a local shop with so many options for knife scales.

[@freemab222]

Wow! I've been away from the anvil market for 20 years or so, and it's crazy what's happened to the prices. My most recent anvil purchases have been 55-lb HF anvils -- for use by beginners. Face so soft you can cut it with a file -- but good enough to teach beginners on. Meanwhile beginners should remember that you don't need an anvil - you need something to USE as an anvil. Get a few heavy (50-lb +) chunks of steel and hammer away on those. Forklift tines are highly rated, but there are lots of other choices. Tool steel will last longer and not ding up so badly, but a heavy hunk of mild steel may work for you too. And with the latter, you could always SuperQuench it -- but make sure you have LOTS of SuperQuench for a large chunk of steel. Professionals should invest in high-quality tools. Amateurs should start with cheap stuff and learn something about the craft before spending much money on tools.

[@symalus]

I didn't even know a store like this existed. Thank you!

[@shanek6582]

A few years ago I bought a 220# fisher that has a great face for $150 on Craigslist. Two weeks ago I got an awesome old craftsman floor model drill press for $80 from Craigslist, keep looking because deals come up.

[@CapeSIX]

Ive got 3 dreams in life, owning a huge 500+lbs anvil, doing a restromod mustang 69" body with a 2005 engine and interior, and moving to Florida to be a annual pass holder at Disney World. Odd set of dreams but all doable.

[@thejerseyj9422]

I'm tempted to hop in the pickup and drive to Texas just to see this place As good a reason for a road trip as any. As if I needed a reason

[@ynotshowme2ur3times]

Awsome deals! Might be able to replace my dads anvil cheaper then expected.......i sold his needing money a few years back for good money and regretted it si ce as i like to dabble in blacksmith too. My dads been gone almost 6 years now. That dodge of yours can handle more coal then that! Used to haul a ton on my 1/2 ton and 2 ton and 1/2 palets on my one ton cummins. Dodge is often underrated!

[@jodyheath6199]

Been shopping at Texas farrier supply for years. One of those 'best kept secret' places but awesome folks that work there and good prices too. Often I just go there to hang out

[@G56AG]

I used to run a small fleet of pickups, and sometimes drove one myself, I loved to put 300-400 lbs in the bed right on top of the axle, made those pickups ride like a Cadillac.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

my old truck never drove as good when it did loaded to max+ ... rode nice, stopped nice and a great stance !

[@SeggBear]

I live 10 minutes from this place and I can say they have everything you will ever need friendly folks too!

[@MayerMatthewR]

What is the name of this store and where is it located? I'm in Dallas.

[@bliefnick]

My son and I were just there on Friday, great shop!!! See y’all in a couple weeks!

[@tangerineman27]

Ok I have a serous question, if they do or ship to residential places then where can I get my anvil shipped to?

[@therealdoc]

5$+ a pound is not cheap, even for brand new anvils. As a matter of fact, it's a mid-range price of every other new anvil. Craigslist has a plethora of nearly pristine anvils ranging from 3-4$ a pound. Don't rush a big purchase like this and wait for a good anvil to show itself on Craigslist or Facebook. With Facebook, though, there are almost exclusively bots running fake ads or scammers wanting you to wire them money before they ship it.

[@shovelhead8]

Great price on anvils.. 30+ years ago it was $1 a pound for anything half decent. $5 a pound for a new one is pretty good. Thank you for the video, Justin

[@Wanderer_of_Sol]

Just 4 or 5 years ago it was $2 a pound. I got mine for $1.50 a pound about 7 years ago and that was a little high, but reasonable.

[@patrickd9551]

My latest anvil was 125 euro for a 110kg churchwindow anvil. Sure, it's beat up and needs some serious TLC. However it comes out at $0.58/lb and I bought it 3 weeks ago. Biggest difference is that I bought the anvil in a country which does not air forged in fire :D It was just an honest trader trying to make a buck and he sells about 100+ anvils a year from 30lbs to 1000+lbs

[@leehaelters6182]

Not a blacksmith nor edged tool maker, just a woodworker, but this store is making me crazy! Thanks for showing it. All those beautiful hammers and tongs. And ANVILS! And just a few words from that store feller, and I know its a good place. Hot dog! L

[@therealdoc]

The anvils aren't anywhere near a good price, they are middle of the pack.

[@glockstr1]

LOL, had no idea you were in Texas. When you were walking around I thought, that looks like Texas Farrier Supply. I love that place and I haven't been in a while. Time to go back. Thanks for the reminder!

That place is like my kind of candy store.

I’ve been to that store! Right down the road for me. Really cool guys and great stuff! And when I went they had forges outside for classes.

[@PENFOLD1962]

The Hardware store deserves to get along in life, no greed and they look after their customers! Something very rare tgese days! I'm looking for a mini anvil, just to work stainless steel eire etc on but can only get low grade soft steel mini anvils! Brilliant video my friend 👍 😆 👌 enjoyed every second 👍😎👍

[@therealdoc]

Hopefully you didn't buy a small anvil here because there are many anvils on craigslist in near pristine quality ranging from 40-80# at 1-2$ a pound.

[@ronwalsh]

I have been looking locally, but it seems everyone thinks their anvils are worth their weight in gold. Shipping is pretty reasonable for the 30lb. Thanks for the link.

[@danielmancini1051]

I watch a lot of KZbin. But I must say that your Chanel is now my fav. It is not only inspirational and fun. But you are the most down to earth and real man I watch. I wish I could be more like you.

Special thanks to Steven Cox for letting us know about you.

[@mercyoaksmithing6762]

I need to take a trip down there some time and invest in a good anvil.

[@chaddlindsay9909]

I checked the link in the description. Lotsa stuff in there. Definately worth a good look. Only issue I have is the descriptions on the products aren't very in depth, bare minimum. For example the anvils only have the dimensions. No info on the brand, wither or not it is cast steel or drop forged steel, or the hardness, or the size of the hardy and pritchel hole etc. Makes me very wary on ordering from them.

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

+Chadd Lindsay I would give them a call, they will answer any questions you have. Great guys and they are blacksmiths.

[@Hadlor]

I have been saving for a new anvil. Either from these guys or Holland Anvil. The price for old anvils almost exactly matches brand new ones, maybe shy 100 dollars a so. Which is ridiculous. Unless I find a smokin deal on a decent old anvil, there is almost no point.

[@Crewsy]

I thought the thumbnail picture of the rusty anvils was a part of the supply for cheap anvils. Good to know a new anvil can be a lot cheaper than Craigslist or Kijiji pricing.

[@RedneckBaller]

[@Antipodean33]

God I love shops like these, unfortunately they are becoming harder and harder to find in Australia. I can spend hours and many bucks in these places

[@MrAnonymousRandom]

For Craigslist it depends on what you're looking at. I'd rather have a somewhat beat up old Made in USA vice than a new Made in China one of the pricing is around the same. If I wanted an anvil the same would apply.

[@thejerseyj9422]

An old Hay Budden or an old Trenton are definitely worth the extra money. It's unfortunate that "made in China" is the only way to go I think.

[@superdave54811]

There is nothing reasonable about that pricing.

[@4rnorthwest]

I don't pay over 3.50 a pound. 4 and up is average and too much for iron ANYTHING. The anvil shape is less than special and can be made. Easier to find on line though. It's STARTING to come back down to reasonable across the board as the market is being flooded with new makers with actually reasonable prices! But CL is bullshit for most everything. People think if it has dust on it then it must be solid platinum underneath!🙄

The price for their anvils would be a good price if they are forged.. If they're cast, they're not worth having. There's a lot more to anvil construction than you think. Nothing beats an old Peter Wright made in the 1800's, if it's in good shape.

The Texas Farrier Supply anvils are undoubtedly the best bang for the buck you can get in an anvil. They are cast in a foundry in Texas, are 52-54 Rockwell hardness and have an excellent rebound. (I have a 150 lb "Blacksmith". Among others -- got an anvil problem...) I got mine from Nature Farms Farrier Supply in Norman OK. They're sold elsewhere, but higher priced and more expensive shipping. Clyde
