I’m sorry, I have to bring this one back to the top. I also live here in Cincinnati and I am truly inspired by this garage and what you’ve done with it. There's a lot of really great history here in Cincy and I think too many people here have already forgotten that. Good luck on the rest of...

when you are on Criagslist keep your eye on the "antique" section also. A lot of people believe anvils to be antiques not tools. :headscrat and also try "searchtempest.com"

Here are my two beauties. Left is a 150 lb Peter Wright (rough shape) and on the right is my 257lb Fisher. These pictures are from when i just bought the Fisher. But it's all cleaned up and mounted now. Ill try and get some more resent pics later. Enjoy!!

i Have two questions.... Could you tell us about your belt sanders/surface grinder? Also, is that a magnet on your anvil? :headscrat What is the purpose of that?

I couldn't have said it better myself!!!

Thanks for the info! Btw...I saw on your website you have all kinds of degrees and certs. I just got out of Mech. Engineering school last May, landed a job, and just dont like the engineering career world. I kind of knew i wasn't going to be happy doing this. But i started school so i needed...

I just pick this one up at a swap meet. This Anvil/vise was patented on Jan 15 1895 by the Farwell/Adams Co. in Dubuque, Iowa.

Anyone ever heard of a 6" jawed, 98LB, "Massey's E&K"? It has a patent date of May 11 1880, and has several "96"s stamped into it at various places. So, it is either model 96 or was manufactured in 1896 (true???) Well any way, I just got one off of CL and i am in love with it. It is a...

heres my little garage. Not much thats for sure!!

I also live on the east side. I live right between Eastgate and Anderson, just inside I-275. You? My avatar is my 1930 Ford Roadster project. Im building it at my dad's garage because he has a 4 car and i have only a small 1 car garage. I attached a pic of my garage. Just not enough room for me...
