IF the anvil rises, then you are heavier than the anvil. IF the board does not move the anvil is heavier than you.
(think teeter totter or child's balance beam) Put a fulcrum in the middle of the board. Put one scale under each end of the board. Take two bathroom (or other) scales and a board. Anyone ever seen this? Pics would help I know. And, instead of running straight across the anvil at a perfect 90, it has a 45 in the middle of it, if you get what I mean.
If it wasn't attached to the stump, I might just barely be able to take some steps with it, although I don't think I could lift it off the ground into a carrying position.Īlso, this anvil has another peculiar feature: the step has a huge drop down - about an inch and a half. I'm a 6 foot 4, 210 pound guy, who can lift quite a lot. It's on a stump, and I can lift it, just, but not move with it. Conservatively I'm going to say 50 pounds more, but I really think this thing might be quite a bit more. I know this thing is quite a bit bigger than my 150 pound Mousehole and Peter Wright. I thought about trying to balance it on a lever or some such non sense, but that seems tricky and not incredibly accurate. The only other mark I can find on it is a blob of some sort on the outside of one of the feet, but it is unrecognizable. I'll try to get pictures up later, but for now, it has FISHER indented on one foot, some makers marks like LI III, and 4 dots stamped in the front of another foot. This weekend I picked up a Fisher anvil, but I can't for the life of me find any weight markings on it. I'd rather avoid just buying a big scale of some sort. stupid question here, but does anyone have a clever trick for weighing an anvil too large for a bathroom scale? preferably a cheap method.
