All thinks considered, the £50000 to make the replica seems cheap if it was made the authentic way.

There a few wonderfull videos of anchors being made out there.

This one gets really interesting about 1/2 way in.

I seem to remember seeing another one will a team of strikers "at it" and they even start climbing onto the anchor at one point. Cant seem to find it again though
