Talk:Vote to buy an anvil

Specific language

Please add "to buy an anvil." Note that only the specific language is enforced. Otherwise, the Board could interpret this as an authorization to buy $1800 of plush electronics components for the lab. --Rdpierce (talk) 23:07, 26 March 2015 (CDT)

Maybe buying $1800 of nice electronic components is a better idea (KIDDING).--Toba (talk) 23:14, 26 March 2015 (CDT)

Easily remedied, I took the liberty. --Dbever (talk) 10:16, 27 March 2015 (CDT)

Actual stuff about the vote

What's the status of stuff like hardy hole tools, tongs, etc in the space? Should we plan for purchases of accessory gear with this vote? --Dbever (talk) 23:25, 26 March 2015 (CDT)

Do we need a log or something to mount the anvil onto? Or do we have the old one still there? Justin (talk) 10:42, 27 March 2015 (CDT)

Drew left the wooden roller thingy. It's a little busted, but it could be repaired or another one like it made.Negativek (talk) 11:12, 27 March 2015 (CDT)

I'm not planning to recommend purchasing any tooling or a stand at this time. I do plan to make both at some point. Mskilton (talk) 11:58, 28 March 2015 (CDT)

anvil suggestions

I asked my blacksmith friend, and he suggested buying direct and getting 100 more lbs for same price http://www.texasfarriersupply.com/proddetail.php?prod=anvdhsmithy3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skm (talk • contribs) 15:59, Mar 27, 2015

Thanks, I looked at the site. I'm checking on shipping costs as well as verifying that it's cast steel. Mskilton (talk) 11:58, 28 March 2015 (CDT)

They don't provide shipping costs. Quick check on freightquotes.com indicates appx.$250 for lift gate service. I think a 200# will be more than adequate and more space friendly. the previous anvil got moved fairly often. Mskilton (talk) 13:05, 30 March 2015 (CDT)
