[@nicko9404]

+John McGee awesome video and channel you got yourself a subscriber

[@johnmcgee2693]

Appreciate it, next month I'm going to start posting more instructional vids. So hopefully you'll like them too.

[@nicko9404]

ok sounds great

[@HolmbergarnSH]

I really appreciate that you uploaded the raw edit and explained every step thoroughly. Nice result once again. And what a beast of an anvil you have also! How much does that piece wheigh?

[@johnmcgee2693]

+Johan Holmberg i glad you like the video, the anvil is a Nimba weighing right at 300 pounds.

[@johnmcgee2693]

+Johan Holmberg I meant to say earlier, I'm glad everyone seems to appreciate the unedited nature of my video, I don't want anyone tho think there is some kind of trick i'm not showing, and I want you to see a realistic timeline for the project. My future videos will follow this format as much as possible.

[@leviblackwood3258]

may I ask what kind of forge you use? I noticed that the steel gets pretty hot quick, coal?

[@johnmcgee2693]

It is a forge I built.
The fire pot is cast by friends of Lyle Wynn in Mississippi, and i built the rest.
The blower is a blower form blacksmith depot i believe, made in Korea, very tough lots of air, and i always run L Brand coke.
Feel free to contact with any other questions.

[@leviblackwood3258]

nice nimba centurion, how is it holding up and may I ask how good is the rebound, I'm considering buying one. thanks

[@johnmcgee2693]

I have no complaints, it has good edges nice rebound, but there are harder anvils out there. I wouldn't give this to a student prone to miss the work piece because they are very expensive, I would give them my Trenton, a harder anvil that isn't perfect. But the over all design is great and it has held up very nice over the last three years, if it got stolen, I would buy another.

[@leviblackwood3258]

John McGee what would you suggest for a beginner anvil that is currently being produced?

[@leviblackwood3258]

John McGee because I have an extremely hard time finding any anvil in my area. That's why I'm thinking about buying a new one

[@johnmcgee2693]

there are a couple of companies that make good anvils, ill get a few names together. also Andrew @blacksmithtools on instagram has a ton of stuff down here in Texas. What area are you in?

[@leviblackwood3258]

John McGee I live in Olympia washington, about an hour south (driving time) of Seattle. Thank you

[@conleycustomironwork3227]

What brand of anvil is that

[@johnmcgee2693]

Nimba brand, Centurion size the anvil is made in Washington state, very nice piece of equipment I bought mine brand-new two or three years ago, no regrets.

[@youbugggme]

Please tell me that you are selling these!! I'd buy a few.

[@johnmcgee2693]

I do, feel free to email me at [e-mail] and we can discuss how to buy.
Thanks ,
John
