it's a pretty simple mechanism. about a year and a half ago I went to look at some wood working clamps that I found on craigslist. in the back of the garage sitting on a moving dolly was an old anvil with a lot of dirt and surface rust. I asked if it was for sale and was told that he might part with it as he'd never gotten around to using it. agreed on $225.00 which I thought was fair but kind of high as I knew nothing about anvils. took both of the guys huge teenage sons to load it into my truck.
got it home and cleaned it up and realized it had some cool markings on it. 1913 220lb Fisher Anvil. did some research and found that Fisher started making anvils in the 1800's, mostly for the US Navy. hence the eagle with anchor logo. slathered it with rust dissolver, washed with soapy water and rubbed it in Corrosion Block.
