ede Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm getting ready to weld my 3 legs on, going to cut them at about 10 degrees. The 1" hardy hole is completed, however I didn't include a pritchel hole in the design. It seems like most striking anvils don't include this feature, however some do. My question is, how many of you drift smaller holes on your striking anvil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I don't have a striking anvil but in my thinking it would only be a matter of patiently drilling a hole. Other then that you could always save the trouble and make a bolster plate to use over the hardy hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ede Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks, Daswulf, I have a nice bolster plate and didn't think of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 here is a picture I have of a striking anvil of Brian B's which I took a few yrs. ago in NH. I hope to make one similar and it looks like a pritchel hole in the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ede Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I need to drill holes for the feet and weld them on. Other than that, almost there. In hindsight, I would of made the legs closer to 15 degrees for more stability as these are at 8 degrees based upon a suggestion I had read. Also, if this striking anvil looks taller than most, it's because it is, at 30". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
