Cross Pein Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That is very close to me - I just spent about $1000 on a gun safe this morning. I don't want to push things with the Mrs. She is extremely patient with my hobbies, but I can't buy any more big ticket items for a while. Doug C, Please let us know what you see there and what is left (if anything) when you are done. I do need a forge - I just figure that if he has 6 anvils, the forge is probably a whole lot more than I need. Plus Archiphile has graciously offered to help me build one. I just need to decide what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris P Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'd love to go check this out, unfortunately I'm a little in the negative with the budget as is trying to get my new shop built. I guess I'll just have to make due with my one anvil for now. Thanks for the heads up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug C Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I called the gentleman who put this add on Craigslist and am headed out there tomorrow evening if all works out. He has not used the equipment in a year and a half. Already sold 4 of the 6 anvils. He actually had a request from someone in Texas to ship the entire shop to them. Can't wait to see what he's got.

Jmercier Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Bring a camera =D I saw that add and thought about calling, but I've got no money right now. My shop got started with a similar craigslist add 2 years ago and I bought a whole shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick L. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Doug, Was there anything left when you went home? I put a call in to Tom last night but haven't heard back yet. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug C Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Dick, I kid from Northhampton, Ma bought everything except a leg vise and a a real nice big blower. I bought the blower and boy is it nice. Turns smooth and puts out quite a blast. The guy who sold it is a heck of a nice person. Sad story though. His son just died three weeks ago which may explain why he did not call you back.

Dick L. Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks Doug, I did get an E-mail back to say that it was all gone. Sorry for his loss I just figured there were a lot of people ahead of me. The blower sounds like a good find. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
