@Lakesideforge ok thanks.

Another thing I was told to watch out for when testing the rebound is the ringing noise. If you hear a buzz instead of a ring, then the steel plate is starting to come off. Best just to avoid that mess altogether. I have the benefit of living in New England where you can find anvils aplenty in antique stores and sales. Bring your own hammer for testing! I got two 150 pound (ish) Peter Wrights for less than $100 a piece with sharp edges.

I have been offered a 51kg anvil for £50. I dont know if is wrought iron, steel or what but I have a picture and it looks ok, just needs a clean, comments please.

@freqeist That is a little high, I would not buy it for any more than 20pounds. I would do the pien test and if it rings, it is wrought or steel. That's what you want.

i see someone else asked about knife making - i was wondering same thing - what weight anvil would be best for the job?

@pockEclipse Well I would use about 75- 125 lb for knife making. Though The bigger the easier it is to move metal.
