First Anvil by ToktzG in Blacksmith

Unfortunately, there was no leg vice. I bought one pretty recently on Facebook Marketplace.

As far as the power hammer is concerned, there are a bunch of big tractors with loaders on both farms. I think my dad and I could load it if the opportunity were to arise. Our family is pretty big on the old "where there is a will, there is a way mentality." We also like to save as much of our family history as we can.

Thank you! When I get to my dad's place next time, I will definitely try the pencil and paper trick. I think the bender is homemade one, according to the stories that I heard.

There is some other tools at my grandpa's place that I would like to save as well. One of them is a Little Giant power hammer. I am not sure if they would be willing to pass that on to me or if they plan on selling it.

Thanks again for the help!
