Ankerstein

Description

Anchor stones do not have perfectly accurate dimensions. All builders know that they must pay attention to the accumulation of irregularities in the dimension of the stones when building large structures. This NF 18 tower, build by AV James Stansfield of Winchester, Massachusetts, USA, shows what happens when stones are used at random. On the builder's page you will find more pictures of the irregularities. Scheduled Meeting: Next CVA meeting: Saturday, April 24, 2010; Hotel Lapershoek in Hilversum, Netherlands. More Anchor information now on-line. The Internet is more convenient than ever. You can now download the entire CD-ROM archive from a new web site . Use of this site is much easier, quicker, cheaper, and more convenient than buying the CD-ROMs. Please use it! And you can download my book as a PDF file -- English version or German version. Many of the new designs for currently manufactured sets can be downloaded from of Andrea Mazzocco, Switzerland . There are a large number of short Anchor videos on YouTube. Here is a link to one of the videos. You can use the "related videos" suggestions to find many more. The final set, 32B, in the series has shown and offered for sale. Sets will be available in the USA late this winter. I have sets on order with the importer, Piatnik. * * * AV William Seppeler has established an important web site/blog which provides designs for small sets and collections . If you have just a set # 6, or the even smaller Brownie (Heinzelmännchen), you must check out this side. Someone visited this blog and created animated assemblies of some of the designs. All Anchor builders should look at it to see just how much variation is possible to a designer with a great imagination. New plans for set # 4 are on the site. I try to keep the links at the bottom of this page up to date. If you find that one does not work, please e-mail me . The Richter villa is closed. The Spielhausverein has moved, and the villa is to be sold. But irrespective of whether or not it is sold, it is now closed to the public, except by appointment. The city is worried about its physical condition and safety. All of the Anchor archive materials being housed there and the collection of Anchor sets have been moved to Heidecksburg. The large collection of old Anchor stones, many of which are quite rare, is still in the possession of the Spielhausverein. We'll see what happens to these stones. Watch ebay.de! All sets -- #s 6 through 30A, and NS conversion set -- are now in stock!
