Dogsoldat Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Beat out a Slick for Dad today. makes a pretty good trade for a conveyor for moving dirt out of the basement to be. ***** of a lot of beating to get the socket spread enough to roll it up. Can't wait til the ceramic blanket comes in and I can get another forge set up and the old one relined. One for small stuff and another for larger bits. And an interesting piece of scrap from the casualty at work. Stub shaft that holds the the track frame on the 527 Skid Cat broke. Was thinking maybe a base for my post vise, but not quite heavy enough. Might make a nice blade anvil if the face has two parrallel sides. Weighs 108lb when complete by the shipping slip for the new one. Maybe back to arrow heads on sunday. all depends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Nice slick. Is it for log construction or other? The shaft would make a decent anvil, mounting it level is just a matter of doing it so it comes out level. Do you have welding skills? A bucket or wash tub of concrete makes a fine expedient anvil stand. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Think Dad wanted it for post and beam type stuff. Was thinking the the larger piece of the stub shaft could sit on a block with a few spikes throught the bolt holes to hold it down. then its portable. The shorter piece if used just take the chainsaw and plunge cut a square hole into the end of a block, of sized right should fit plenty snug, and if not a few wedges might just work to lock it in place. Though it could be welded to the crank pulley I haven't pulled out of the scrap bin yet. It's off a Cat engine from a logging truck that burnt up (lot's of excitement that day!)

ThomasPowers Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Angle grind it flat. I'd see if I could place it on a stump so the holes would just over lap it and could be used to hold tongs or tooling... The other half could be the travel anvil with a stump with a round hole in it to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Most excellent idea of using the holes around the cirumference to hang tools from. I like, better than having a heeap of stuff in the corner in a5 gal pail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
