I have a 3/4" shank cutoff hardy that will not go in by a hairs width and it's the same with 1/2" round stock. The 1/2" pritchel hole and the 3/4" hardy are not 1/2" and 3/4". There is thing that I don't understand and maybe someone here can help me with. I put it on a bathroom scale and it says it's about 65 lbs so I guess it went on a diet at some point and lost a few lol. The seven is part of how I came to the 70 pound conclusion. It only has the 15 indicating its weight. Fisher anvil was made in the 1950s, when Fisher was not marking them in the traditional way. Exactly how it looked when made, before anyone took a hammer or hot steel to it. On the other end where it says fisher (barely visible if the lighting is bad) there is a number 7 on one of the feet. This anvil is a 100 point anvil on the FARS scale. There are a few markings I cannot make sense of under the date i see one mark by itself and the what looks like a string of 1s. Well after driving 418 miles yesterday and going through more counties than I have in a long time I brought home a decent little fish. Measure the distance from the fulcrum to where you stand.ĭivide that number by the distance from the fulcrum to the center mass of the anvil.Īnvil weight times anvil distance equals your weight times your distance.Īnvil weight equals your weight times your distance divided by anvil distance.Dsw, I was a little disappointed when I pulled up and seen that little thing instead of the monster I expected lol. Move the fulcrum until the board balances. IF the anvil rises, then you are heavier than the anvil. IF the board does not move the anvil is heavier than you. (think teeter totter or child's balance beam)
Put a fulcrum in the middle of the board. Could anybody tell me an approximate value of what it is worth today Thank you Posted SeptemAnvil prices vary greatly with location, and that one is is pretty bad shape. Put one scale under each end of the board. It is a Peter Wright and weighs about 75+ pounds. Take two bathroom (or other) scales and a board. Anyone ever seen this? Pics would help I know. And, instead of running straight across the anvil at a perfect 90, it has a 45 in the middle of it, if you get what I mean. If it wasn't attached to the stump, I might just barely be able to take some steps with it, although I don't think I could lift it off the ground into a carrying position.Īlso, this anvil has another peculiar feature: the step has a huge drop down - about an inch and a half. I'm a 6 foot 4, 210 pound guy, who can lift quite a lot. It's on a stump, and I can lift it, just, but not move with it. Conservatively I'm going to say 50 pounds more, but I really think this thing might be quite a bit more. I know this thing is quite a bit bigger than my 150 pound Mousehole and Peter Wright. I thought about trying to balance it on a lever or some such non sense, but that seems tricky and not incredibly accurate. The only other mark I can find on it is a blob of some sort on the outside of one of the feet, but it is unrecognizable. I'll try to get pictures up later, but for now, it has FISHER indented on one foot, some makers marks like LI III, and 4 dots stamped in the front of another foot.
It looks like it had a eagle cast into the side but it is very faint. That converts to 182 pounds, and a digital scale had it at 180. It has 'FISHER' and the number '30' cast into it. That marks are on it is the hundred weight on the left side, it is 1 2 14. I have tried all the tricks I can think of to pull any makers marks off the side, but Im afraid it is too far gone. This weekend I picked up a Fisher anvil, but I can't for the life of me find any weight markings on it. I just got my anvil this past weekend from New York. I'd rather avoid just buying a big scale of some sort. stupid question here, but does anyone have a clever trick for weighing an anvil too large for a bathroom scale? preferably a cheap method.
