August 29, 201312 yr Can someone tell me where this would be used? I only have it in the hardy hole to get a picture as I don't think it would be used there. Would the tapered base be mounted in a stump? The swages are graduated from less than an 1/16" to 3/8" as close as I could tell by laying a drill bit in them.
August 29, 201312 yr They're meant for sheet-metal work, but you can certainly use it as a swage block for small stock. I wouldn't use it stuck in the hardy hole. Make a stump out of dimensional lumber so the stake is at a decent working height and use it. Lots of good things you can do with something like that!
August 30, 201312 yr Greetings Old Rascal, The anvil was designed to fit in a multi stake plate.. You can purchase nice single mounting plate on E bay for a reasonable price.. Great tool if you know how to use it.. Good luck... I forgot to say that they are typically not hardened for blacksmith work... Forge on and make beautiful things. Jim
