Anvils
Check ebay. Saw some anvils in there recently at fair prices.
Good luck.

i couldnt find the anvil at ebay within the budget range, so i bought square mild steel and i'm going to use it as an anvil.. well i dont need a big anvil in the first place as i'm going to use it for knife forging anyway.. after reading wayne goddard's $50 knife shop, i felt inspired and will try to forge some knife anytime soon.. anyway, thanks for the reply

Well...lost another good one...$590 (plus $100 shipping) was too much to justify. Best anvil that I have seen on e-bay for a long time.
Check it out
PS
If you don't mind an anvil with a bit missing, this one will not attract many bids if at all.

Guys don't loose hope!
I have an anvil exactly the same as the one Marc posted (the Soderfors) except its a pound lighter and made in 1923 its in even better condition than the one shown on ebay. My son in law bought it at an auction a couple of years ago it needed sandblasting and I faced the top and powdercoated the non working surfaces. It only cost $25. So they are out there.
If you are near Temora (NSW) the local junk dealer east side of town had three last time I was in there they are 200lb jobs and he wanted between $200 and $500 for them ( it was a few months ago now.)
Last year at the Ballarat swap meet a guy was selling new anvils he had manufactured about 15'" long for just under $200 from memory. He was from somewhere on Victoria. Maybe someone knows who he is.
Check the Land newspaper for clearance sales they are regulary in them. If you get the right day you could get one at the "right" price.
