Very simple solution move to where I live! - 25 C today with a windchill of - 38C. I need heat!!!!

It is a Haybadden Anvil. I use one identical to that one. It was made in Brooklyn N.Y. Great anvil.

The die is out!! I tried the various methods suggested. No go. I simple drilled out the wedge with a long thin aircraft drill bit. It's out.

Thanx for the suggestions. I think I will try the air chisel idea. Less stress on everything.

Hello Guys, I have a #25 little giant which I bought a few months ago; however, I can't get the top die out. It was really wedged. One wedge was driven in alongside brass shims. I can't drive it out like you are suppose to do. Any ideas? The only idea I have come up with, but haven't tried is to weld on extension onto the edge of the wedge where it was driven in. Place a jack between the extension and the die making sure that the jack only connects with the die and not the die set area and begin to jack slowly hoping to pull the wedge or push the die the other direction, perhaps both. Is this a sound idea? Any other thought? Thanx

These pics are items I got from an auction. One may be some kind of homemade wrench, the others? Any ideas? Thanx
