    I'm in need of a nice little anvil under 100 pounds. I saw these and they look pretty nice.ive never had an anvil with a clipping horn and I'm not sure I like that. However most of the smaller anvils have those horns or turning cams.i don't really like either. So does anyone have a JHM anvil or any thoughts? Thanks

    I've got a100 pound anvil. I'm getting tired of lugging it around. I'd Ike to have a 60 to 80 pounder. That JHM is 70. I just don't like that clip horn. There's no cams on it just that weird clip horn.

    Maybe I should just suck it up and pack the 100 pounder.

    If I did that the horn wouldn't be round back there would it?

    Well
    Well I like to play in the forge in my shop so I kind of need two anvils. Maybe put the 100 pounder on a swing out and buy a bigger shop anvil.

    I have 2 JHM, a 100# certifier and an Anvil Brand round horn Legend which is also JHM. They are good anvils but ring like a SOB especially the certifier, but I prefer my Scott.

    I am concerned now with potential hearing loss and wonder about the Delta Future anvils. They seem quieter.

    Might need to change to a wooden based stand for those ringing anvils?

    It's mounted on a slide out. I have two magnets on it but I can't say it helped much.

    Put a piece of leather under your anvil, and a big magnet under the heel. That will help some. You should wear hearing protection anyway, but none of us do. I do wear earplugs in the shop.

    I really like my future 3. No ring and being half alum is light enough, yet got good working area. Yea there are turning cams, but they are great for cleaning out nail holes after clips are pulled. So it has a clip horn, haven't used it yet, but I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face. One other thing. I have found out you can also order a left handed one if you go to the sorce.

    My large shop anvil rang like a church bell and my wife was pissed off so I put a pice of rubber under both feet. Now it is as quiet as a church mouse.
