    I got this and have had it for like a little over a year now and i use it all times when forging I am thinking about getting a full front one when working with molten stuff and other very hot work but i like the half kinds for most work DC

    yes they do Sam it got a hole and extra round stock for extending the foot pedal hmm let me see if i can find a linky It is made from 20mm steel plate and can be filled with cement or sand and stones. Edit: Link there are ones for 9,15,25,40 and 55kg and i am sure the US dealer sells them too. DC

    hmm i might have the wrong idea in what buggered means hmm like iratating me hehe it might have to do with that way i work moving my arm around the anvil side to back end and the horn made that difficult I use to have the flux cup(old open end bear can) on the anvil as well but after pushing it down and loosing all the flux 2 times i started using the other anvil for that DC

    i am also making a new shop and before doing any thing like cementing stuff in the ground i sill make cardboard pieces of the same size as all my machines and tools forges anvils and all things i will have in there and lay out and them move em around untill im 100% sure they are where i want em. that would help you out as well i think They can be made of anything i use some grey covering cardboard carpenters use when working indoors at peoples homes.

    I am also right handed and my horn point to the left I started working with a anvil with the horn pointing right for the first two years of my forging, and it buggered me a lot so when I got my own I made it with the horn to the left. and has that on both I use. but i do walk all the way around for different types of work and and I have learned since the start to never leave tools in the hardie dc

    wiring lamps and such small stuff i no problem and can and may be done by anyone here in Denmark, i even made one in school when i was little with a bit help from the teacher. it is no more a safety factor then a hm say normal office work lamp or any thing with a light bulb. DC

    very nice looking anvil i like it I'd also go for wood and bold the anvill down to it. it will take a way lots of ringing and shock. DC

    i am thinking about getting a wide cement pipe and cement it to a base so it is water tight it will hold the heat and the base could be made with small wheels for it to move around metal buckets rust away and wood is very hard to find it a god size DC

    that is a good idea on how to make one they can be made in all kinds of different shapes and for different wide of multi usage a blue print is iin the works for this Atm but here is a post on how I made mine. Guillotine tool "how to" - British Blades and here is a vid of the first try among the first fire of my gas forge. it has square dies in it at that time. DC

    I also use a wood and then a metal wedge and then soak the entire handle and hammer head in hot linseed oil for 1-2hours and then let it stay in the oil for 2 more days and then take it up and wipe it off and let it dry for a few days and then ready for use and I am 100% sure that it will never get loss with above normal use.. I use the same for axes, sledges and such.. DC
