lanternnate Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 My wife bought me a new anvil back in March, but I hadn't used it yet due to lack of an appropriate stand. For some reason I just got the irresistible urge to finally use it, so I rigged up a completely inappropriate stand for it. It let me get some hammering in on it though. Just finished forging to shape a quick little neck knife out of a nub of steel off a bush hog blade. Using this vs my railroad track really makes me wish I had gotten up the gumption to figure out a stand sooner. Everything just worked better, and having a legitimate horn was world changing when it came time to shape the tang. The steel moves so much easier as well.

MastaStan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Nice neck knife blank Nate. I too had a railway track anvil to start off with and have now got a proper anvil. A 1945 english anvil. The difference is phenomenal. I was lucky to get an oak stump for the railway one and an ash stump for the real anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
