pinetar Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I am new here, just joined last week. I never seemed to need an anvil in my shop. Used ones of any size are hard to find on Craigs. I gathered today a few items that I think will work for a jewelers anvil by welding the components I have selected and then place the 2" sq. tubing in a vise. I don't think I will need a stand. I have been using the flat on a Loews Wilton vise. I will weld 4 separate shapes to each corner of the larger sq. tube. Gary/Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Looks like a plan to me. I suggest that before you weld every thing up that you put as high a shine on all of you various shapes as possible. It gets harder to polish them after weld up. It sure looks like you have a good variety of shape for forging and shaping just about anything you want to make in the way of jewelry.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinetar Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 It is done. Ran all parts thru a new 320 grit 6" wide belt sander, love that machine. The bottom of the RR beam is useful. I like the reversible stainless horn. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinetar Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) My interest is a result of not finding a copper bracelet locally for the benefits of reducing arthritis pain. So i pounded out what I needed and am just digging deeper into this world. Edited October 18, 2009 by pinetar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
