Guest Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This is an Anvil I built from scrap Hardware. Its about 40lbs and the top plate is 24" long made from 2" x 1/4" steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It looks cool! I would guess that I couldn't use my four pound hammer on that though. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGRAFF Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 That is very cool. I like how you painted the hardware(body) and left the top plate raw. It gives it really nice contrast. My eye is very pleased. Did you make this piece for a show or just for fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
