Ok, we'll do. If I remember right the good stuff came out of the bronco mine.

Anvil Where in Wellington does your buddy buy your coal? I have to go down that way for work every now and then.

I like it.

I was going to do something similar. I was going to use a sledgehammer head instead of a piece of track. I would assume that your plan would be fine.

Not out in my neck of the woods. But if you keep your nose to the ground and ask around you can find one for a decent price. My only "real" anvil is a 126 lb swedish London pattern that I picked up for $100 because the edges where dinged up.

I haven't ever hardend or tempered S-7. Any idea how to harden it?

That is what I was thinking irondragon.

Picked up a block 5x5x7 of s7 steel today. Should I use it as is or attempt to harden one side to make a viking anvil?

Nice to know stevomiller.

Just picked this RR car knuckle up in a gas station parking lot on a work trip for free fifty free. I saw it and asked about it they said if you want it take it.

Good looking forge.

Most metal scrap yards out here won't let the public pick through them :-(

I would love to find a hydraulic breaker point.

I like your build. Looks like it works well.

Nice buy, my dream is to have a southern German double horn anvil.
