Anvil belt buckle

Very nice piece. Did you make a mold to forge your anvil shape?

I've made several by cad'ing out my 165# Peter Wright and printing a set of drawings at various reductions; choosing the one I liked and cutting it out and gluing it to a piece of 1/8" thick plastic and cutting and filing it to the line with a bit of draft.  Then using petrobond oil sand I rammed up one side and pressed the parting powdered piece into the parting powdered surface and rammed the other side, then carved out two sprues and a vent using drill bits----placed so that the Vent mad a stud to hook in a belt hole and the two sprues were cross drilled after pouring to hold a rod for the belt to loop around.

I cast a handful of these in silver back when it was US$5 an ounce.  I think I may still even have one and the plastic anvil piece for the mold. (this was back in the early 90's...)

These are available in the IFI store. Contact me for details.
