June 21, 200818 yr i wanted to play today making an anvil like i really need to do this!!!!!!!!!!! i act as if i have nothing to do but play well here it goes bored out a hole to press fit a socket in with 3/4 square drive machined a cone from 3 inch stainless , cut at angle welded to front machined the top off nice and flat and smooth drill four 5/8 diameter mounting holes oh well 50 going on 13 years old
June 21, 200818 yr Shoot, that socket hole is crisper the the one my "real" anvil has. Did you forget to bore the pritchel hole? ;)
June 22, 200818 yr I knew the socket idea would work when I heard it. Thanks for confirming it so nicely. Well done. 56 going on 8 Frosty
June 22, 200818 yr That thing looks almost Colonial! How much does it weigh, 20lb? Would be great as a loan-to-beginners anvil.
June 22, 200818 yr Author thankyou all, for your words of encouragement it was kinda fun now back to same old stupid paying jobs lol
June 22, 200818 yr 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
June 22, 200818 yr 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.
January 11, 201016 yr Nice creative work! Sometimes an idea swirling around in the mind just won't let you have peace until you try it out. (59 going on 12)
