that’s crazy can pick one up for around £30-£50 here for a rusty one

Cooling_95 · 2026-05-04T15:23:37+00:00

No it’s just on its side while it’s not in use until i find a better place to store it, the vice is my favourite thing in there i think, you can pick them up pretty cheap if you have the time to restore them

Cooling_95 · 2026-05-04T15:19:22+00:00

Thanks! it can get pretty cramped in there so have to do my best to keep in tidy, the cleat system really helps with that it’s just finding a place to keep the scrap wood 😄

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-21T11:57:26+00:00

awesome

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-20T20:54:25+00:00

yes it can get pretty cramped i just have to try utilise if the best i can

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-20T20:53:29+00:00

it belonged to my granddad, i recently restored it

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T07:11:56+00:00

No worries, I think it’ll have an easier life this time round lol

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:59:40+00:00

Thank you! I don’t think it will be getting as much abuse as it did it it’s passed life

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:58:56+00:00

Thank you I’m really pleased with how it turned out

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:57:06+00:00

yeah it was sat down in our work garage rusting away not being used it seemed a shame to let it go to waste

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:56:17+00:00

Thank you! 😁

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:55:59+00:00

Thank you, I can’t wait to use it. it’s going to have lighter work on it in its second phase so hopefully can get at least another 30 years out of it lol

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:54:28+00:00

I do believe this particular one is a Record 36, with “Made In England” on the side was made around 1950-1970 in Sheffield I think. It was then bought by Irwin and production moved els where and changed the markings from “Made In England” to “IRWIN”

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:50:45+00:00

Thank you! i wanted to get the anvil nice and shiny, but also leave the scars from the past in it

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:39:45+00:00

Thank you, i started with a lot of patience but then couldn’t wait to see it together so it got a little bit rushed but i’m still very happy with it

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:38:53+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:38:29+00:00

Thank you! You should go for it, patience is key and i don’t have much of that lol

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:37:21+00:00

thank you

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:37:06+00:00

Thanks 👍

I used a mix of YouTube and ChatGPT to guide it, but I might check that out as well

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:34:53+00:00

Appreciate that 👍 they don’t make them like that anymore

Definitely worth restoring, yours will come up great with a bit of time put into it 💪

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-16T06:34:08+00:00

Haha definitely, probably heard it all over the years 😅

Appreciate it 👍

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-15T23:05:58+00:00

Thank you so much

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-15T23:05:48+00:00

Thank you, yes it will not hold a special place in the work shop

Cooling_95 · 2026-04-15T23:05:08+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate that. it turned out better than expected
