Charles R. Stevens Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 You have an anvil, lol. Find a cone, like an old 2" bail spike. A bit of truck axle or large guage sucker rod taperd and bent will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 LOL! You are correct sir! We do have an anvil. I should have added that we went to a junk store Saturday and the guy told us his boss has a couple of anvils. He was going to see if he wanted to part with one. I am supposed to go check tomorrow. I have no idea what they may be or what shape. Or if he even wants to. Thought it was worth looking into. If I may ask a question? Should I take a hammer with me to tap it with? I don't have a ball bearing. If we don't get another one, say a London pattern, I'm just happy we have one. It would be nice at a good price though. Thank you for your time and the above suggestions for a horn. That looks really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 You can do a rebound test with a small hammer instead of a ball bearing. Check i.f.i. for the details. I would do that for you but i'm headed off to bed. Nighty night. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ling Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 This link ain't the best, but was what I came up with in the time I had. Hope it helps a little. Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Littleblacksmith Thank you! I looked it up and figured out what I needed to do. It didn't happen today. The guys boss has not been home this weekend. He told me to check back in a day or two. I might but I don't want to get caught up in a wild goose chase. Thank you again for the help.

SLAG Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 CRGL, Every time you telephone that chap, his prices rise. A hungry look loses out on bargains. You did well with your latest haul. regards, SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Thank you Slag. You are absolutely right. I doubt he can even come up with it and knowing we really want it, the price will probably be up there. I am ok with waiting if it means not getting fleeced.
