ironsmith Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 ok guys, just got a set of used forklift blades for free from my work , was wondering if i should use 'em for trade or for material to make an anvil stake out of... if i do make an anvil stake, how should i go about mounting one on end, i have a concrete floor in my shop so it would be hard for me to stick it in the ground LOL, any suggestions would be great , thanks :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon_smith Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Ironsmith: I don't remember what alloy forklift forks are, but it was something like 4140. I've known folks that have made powerhammer dies out of them. With regard to making an anvilstake, I guess you have two mounting options: Traditional - make the vertical shank with a collar on it so that it goes into a stump that sits on the floor. Non-traditional - Make the shank long enough so that you can weld it to a heavy steel plate and bolt it to the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
