Those are some pretty good ideas, too. I could probably just grab some angle iron and make fullers out of that, or make something myself. Hmmm really good ideas. All I could see myself using is a chisel type hardy tool, something that I could use an anvil devil for instead actually. I agree too, Donnie, I do need to just start hammering. I'm a bit frustrated because my anvil won't be built until sometime around december, and I think I'm getting a bit too much ahead of myself. I don't want to go out and blow my money on things I won't use, I think I'd be better doing it and buying/building things as needed. I think a socket that fits over my anvil is a good idea, or maybe I can find something in the right general shape and make something like a second stake to use for that, so I can quickly and safely transfer my work between it and the anvil.
