Love it. Law abiding, but firm. For me, they will have to take my hands too.

You should check if it is legal to make a knife that is in effect double bladed (i.e. both sides tapered) but leave one edge blunted. I believe that is legal in some states, but could be wrong. This gives you that cool double bladed look while not having something illegal. Again always check thoroughly first. -
Forgot to mention, most of those roads are used frequently by bicyclists so people dont mind you passing through on a bike. I know some of the farmers that now use the land, and the rest dont mind you as long as you dont steal crops. Most of the metal lays along the roads and no one cares about it as it is junk that fell off vehicles or was just tossed away. Wanted to clear up that misunderstanding.

I got this thing from a lady, who got it from a man I know, who got it from a sugar mill that was closing. They had twelve of these things ranging all the way up to a little less than 1000 lbs. They are all ancient ones. They were going to scrap all of them.

i happen to live near an old shut down sugar mill / plantation. as a result i have a almost endless supply of any type of steel you can imagine (all free). please post your suggestions on other places to find free / cheap iron.

if you are a true blacksmith you know a little about ... shoeing horses, fixing fences, making waterboxes, and general ranch maintenance if you are a true blacksmith you recieve the look from your wife / mom (depending on age) every time you pass a good sized chunk of iron

I recently got a Hay Budden anvil from a elderly lady for free. The only drawback is the lead paint they coated it liberally with. Got any idea on how to take it off? I have a friend who can pressure wash it with very hot water. Good idea or not?

Looks like a Trenton anvil maybe?
