ThomasPowers Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 A layered stone would be gneiss. (the "cutter end" works to split blocks along bedding planes.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, I have a 16lb. stone maul that I just acquired back in June, and it works great for heavy drawing out. The striking face (not the chisel edge) is nicely rounded, so it's basically an oversized rounding hammer. My son had his most successful striking session yet* using it a couple of nights ago. *Successful apart from destroying the portable hole, that is.

JHCC Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just ran across a CL ad for "Antique blacksmith Anvil - $1000". The description is "Antique blacksmith anvil...24 inches long", and there's no photo. Sounds too good to be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo313 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Frosty clearly hasn't seen this yet. Maybe it's for the best. Against him in a pun battle I'd probably lose my chert. Metamorphically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
