    How to forge a Tushkar the old way - 2 blanks are cut from 2 inch by 3/8 inch bar it can be tricky!
  3. Jonnytait
    so you are saying very sharp edges are ideal for the anvil? how does this not cut the steel when forging set-downs/shoulders?
  4. Jonnytait
    Thanks, looks like a perfectly good tool. Theres something interesting about the russian made steel anvils
  5. Jonnytait
    I would be interested to see that anvil, if you have a photo of it?
  6. Jonnytait
    I think the ones in the photos were all ash, not 100% sure though as i sometimes use hickory as well
  7. Jonnytait
    Thanks for the input! They were made from EN8, similar to 1045

    It will make absolutely no difference. The only thing that matters is that your anvil is secured to the stand very firmly, and that the anvil stand is secured as well.

    Wow. Why is everyone so grumpy? jason0012 wasnt asking what his own steel suppliers prices are, if thats all he wanted to know he would have picked up the phone and asked them. Look at his previous posts and work. He's not daft. It looks to me like he was just trying to start a discussion on current steel prices.

    Tong blanks can be very useful

    Would you be able to take a photo of it, so we can see what you are working with?
