I'm sure someone will disagree with me on that opinion but such is life. On the other hand, I think a variety of forge sizes - especially gas - can be expedient to many shops. There isn't that much advantage to owning multiple anvils that can't be accomplished with one that is tooled properly. Multiple anvils mean redundant sets of hardy tools - the anvils I have owned in the past and all of their hardies were unique, even those that were supposed to be the same size. I demonstrated for several years and had a 100 lb Haybudden so had to make a complete set of tools to use while away from the shop - but when I stopped demoing, I sold it along with the tools and never looked back.
222 LB PETER WRIGHT ANVIL PORTABLE
However, nobody "needs" more than one demo and want a portable one so the big shop anvil stays put or they have multiple workers in a shop or as Thomas mentioned, they teach multiple students simultaneously. You are simply trying to justify your desire to collect anvils, which is perfectly fine - no harm in collecting for the joy of it - and you have previously stated that you've put anvils in the hands of newbies wanting to learn the craft kudos to you for that effort. If I want to transport a five ton triphammer, I drive a flatbed truck with a big deisel engine.Ĭoopers get lousy mileage but I understand the analogy. If I want to drive cross country, I would drive a COOPER, because of the gas mileage.
This is why I wrote the thread on comparative anvils.different anvils are better for different tasks, because of differences between them.
