racer3j Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) This is one of the nicest track based anvils I have come across. It isn't rusty- must have picked up the maroon on the seat cover. Whoever made it put the rounded part of the horn on the bottom. I plan to carefully radius the top of the horn. The arch in the track base offers a nice large radius curve. Ordered my gas forge today. I am still going to try thr CI frying pan or dutch oven thing for coking this weekend.mt Edited May 23, 2008 by racer3j double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchmancreek Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Here's a photo of my rail anvil. It's made from relatively heavy track. I keep it on the edge of my forge for a convenient place to (try to) forge weld small pieces. That last post had the wrong photo on the left. This is the one I wanted with the rail anvil on top as a size comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer3j Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 You did a fine job making a more traditional anvil from rail. We have a roundhouse here and I am going to beg a few more pieces of rail. As I said, I bought this one. I am going to use a big belt sander to just round over the top of this horn- to get closer to your result; I am going to try to keep the easing from going into the very front point.mt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
