Bootleggerjim Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have an old Foster that has a side peace I would like to know about. Someone said it's a coach makers anvil, but I don't know what the side peace is for....thanks Happy Hammering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It is for forging (among other things) carriage hardware brackets, the U-shaped hardware (with rather square corners) that holds leaf springs in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Brackets hold a lot of things in place on a coach or wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 So its essentially the same as the square horn on a german anvil, only this is smaller and a protrusion from the side? Also, did they steel the tops of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I've never worked on one to say if it was steeled, easy enough to check if you own it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
