Frosty Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I knew the socket idea would work when I heard it. Thanks for confirming it so nicely. Well done. 56 going on 8 Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt87 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 That thing looks almost Colonial! How much does it weigh, 20lb? Would be great as a loan-to-beginners anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmangeler Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I don't see why people talk down about RR track anvils. Looks good to me.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdwarner Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 thankyou all, for your words of encouragement it was kinda fun now back to same old stupid paying jobs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer3j Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I see it is on ebay- Pm me please about making one for me. Some changes I would like to discuss. I gave my fully accessorized Atlas lathe- every attachment known to man and spare parts of all but the bed- so, I can't turn the horn. Thanks,jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmonds Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Wow! It is nice the things that can be made when you have the right tools for the job. Much better than the rail anvil that I started with years ago. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
