TwistedCustoms Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Very cool old stake anvil, portable, for driving into a stump. I read somewhere that loggers used to take them out to the woods for setting saw teeth and light forging. Just pound the stake down into a green stump and build a fire. Instant smithy.

VaughnT Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I was wondering where I dropped that!Seriously, if you're interested in parting with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabib Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Since its got a square shaft with a collar shape on it, wouldn't it be more likely to have been designed for use in a hardy hole rather than pounded into a stump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudiron Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks for the info I've been searching all over the Internet for it. I think I might have a go at restoring it to put it back into use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Many colonial spanish anvils were like that. I have seen largish ones stuck in the holes of acorn tables and industrial swage blocks. Color me envius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Sayers Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I can't tell from the pic, is the base actually square or is it flattened like a blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
