John Martin Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 It was my first anvil. Took some large washers, and big bolts, and bolted it into a huge stump. Use however you wish, there are many good suggestions above. Quote
jayco Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I've been thinking of what material to make a heavy rectangular style firepot from for my new forge. I've got a stack of tie plates. It would require 4. Some serious A/O torch work and some arc welding would be involved. Haven't even laid them out to see how it would work yet, but it looks possible. If I get it done, I'll take some pictures..... Quote
ironrosefarms Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 interesting idea Jayco, Another thread going on is about building a set of great bellows. As I was thinking back I remember that the set that I helped build was a bit slow on the rebound so on the inside the guy I was helping attached 3 RR plates side by side. Since these where supposed to be somewhat "historically correct" he was able to hide the added weight on the inside away from the eyes of the public. Quote
