Since there are more horses in the US now than 150 years ago, there must be noire blacksmiths too? Somewhere, someone sells anvils.
i went thru a store's whole inventory of chinese anvils before i found one that would return a good bounce on a steel ball
most chinese anvils make good doorstops

Well this anvil has got some age on it ,My dad bought it for a blacksmith shop we owned when I was 12 ,I am 63 now so I guess we have owned it for 51 years I need to get it out and make a pencil impression of the markings on the side.
This one will sing to you on a wood block ,we finally mounted it on a big truck wheel with a rubber pad to cut the noise down in the shop.
Now that old smitty would sharpen sweeps and set them on that anvil every other lick was a bounce on the anvil.

I have seen one bigger a 800 lber in a ware house in houston but they would not sell it.

sorry i was gone so long but a couple of young ladies invited me to go on vacation with them
but back to the skiff, the bottom extends about six inches past the transom
The design calls for a keel at the back
and a keel at the front
obviously there's a bit more shaping to do, but for now, we're watching the glue dry
wonder what the po' folks are doing?

shape up the bow keel
shape up the stern keel
flip it over - looks like it might even float - got to clean up the glue joints before starting on the decks
