I've finally found a couple pieces of scrap for my anvil(s)and now I need to figure out some stands for them. Then the only thing left is to build the forge. I've got most of what I need for that, as well as a rough plan, but that's for the other forum...
First is what appears to be the snapped off base of a rock breaker bit. It's about 14" long, maybe a little more, and about 6 or 7" across. I don't know how much it weighs, yet, but it's HEAVY.
The other one I'm not quite sure of, maybe a piece of chute liner or something. About 12" long by 4" square, with some interesting shapes on the ends. Rounded on one side of the length and squared off on the other.
For a stand I'm thinking a stack of lumber set on end like quite a few I've seen on here, possibly one big enough to set both in? With the big piece in the center and the smaller one in one of the corners, and maybe rigged so I can change it's position around if I need to... it's got a pretty sharp corner on one end that could be used as a cut off.
For the big piece, would it be a good idea to leave the cavity a bit deeper than I want the top of the anvil to be, and fill it with sand? That way I would be able to adjust the height, if needed, and it might provide a little dampening.
I'll get some better pictures in the morning...
I was getting worried I'd have to settle for an ASO from Harbor Freight for a while there, so this is a welcome find...
