Dogsoldat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Mother in law was in Princess Auto with my wife looking at anvils for the wire jewelry that she's been making. She figured all the anvils there where to big and ugly for what she wanted and my wife talked her into getting me to come up with something. Has a piece of track from the Great Northern Railway that use to run through the area nearby. Chopped off 6" and went to town with the grinder. Was thinking of forging a small stake anvil, but this gives her a few more options and if she finds she wants something different well guess I have to go make some heat.

Dogsoldat Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 True enough Charles, I'll Let her play with it for a while and modify what she needs when she figures it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Isn't the bending forks a PITA to carve out, lol next time I think I will drill and connect the dots, same with the horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm thinking your right about drilling a few holes first. Had that thought when I was nearly done. The bending fork isn't so bad when you take a sharp carbide burr in the die grinder to it for final dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
