Great anvils, i think nimba has less rebound but i dont find rebound that important. Hot metal doesn’t bounce, so i look for toughness which the nimba has alot of. Plus, it comes with very crisp edges so you can dress the edges to your style and taste, most old anvils seem to have a worn or heavy rounded edge but maybe not where tou would want it. If mine got atolen i would call Jim Garrett and get another Nimba. Let me know if you have any other questions, John
3/8 plate pedestal with 3/8 bottom and 3/4 top, and full of sand. The base is aroun 250 lbs and the anvil is 300 so it’s a nice solid package. I think there are some good pics way back in my Instagram , monkeywrenchforge , so you can see it better. If you have any other questions ask away.
Now THIS is an anvil!
pretty cool!
I have to try that. it would look good on a gate.ThanksFrank
Go for it, it's a fun little feature that will cause people to scratch their heads.

How do you like your Nimba anvil? How does it compare to a german Peddinghaus? (rigid)

Nice work, that is a Nimba Anvil from Chicago isn't it? I'm thinking of getting one myself.
