That is the HT procedure for drift/punch?

I use round magnet around the horn. Works for me.

My forced air forge uses about 1.3 lb per hour. So 20lb tank (filled 15lb) will work for 10-12 hours.

I want to build saw maker anvil (I do have a real anvil 100# and several RR tracks but I want to have something in 70 lb range with a lot of face space) I can't find one for sale in my aria SC, GA. Here is my idea. Face is tool steel (or what better?) 6"x12" by 1"+. Under it piece of mild steel 5"x11"x2" and under it another piece of mild steel 4"x10" goes to bottom plate. Walls will be 1/2 steel and all the voids filled with lead (not sure if it's a good idea). All structure will be welded together. How do they ring anyway?

My grand grand-pa was hunting bears and hogs with single shot rifle and axe. Of course hi was almost 7 foot tall blacksmith and could straiten horse shoe by hand (don't know how far newer met him) Any way 5160 hard edge and soft back 12-18 inch blade will bend up to 45 degrees safely. So short spear Zulu style and short sword or axe will satisfy your man vs wild (hog) call. I would keep .357 nearby just in case.
