Wouldn't an anvil be steel?
Well it's at least 90% +/- iron..................
It's a Peddinghaus.................forged steel. 275 pounder................
Where did you order yours from? I have been following these on Zoro and with their 20% off coupons they sometimes run the price is really attractive, especially when compared to the cost of used anvils, at least around here. I did notice they have raised the price a few hundred over the last several months but still seems like a good value.

Broke a bone and had to hire a guy to install one of those expensive screws.

Yeah, that's why Mamma doesn't want me to git a (dirt) bike.
Me being down for even 6 weeks would be detrimental to my business.
I'm sure that you will be able to work through it, albeit a bit slower.
Glad it wasn't a femer!

I didn't break anything just a real bad sprain.
I realized quickly that I can't be doing stupid shit anymore lol.

You doo understand that that ins will pay your wage right?
It doesn't cover lost revenue in the shop. (gross sales/shop overhead)
And it Shirley doesn't get your customers their parts.
Long Term Dissability is prolly a good policy for the self employed, but Short is barely a band-aid in his app.
