Timothy Edwi Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anybody know what this is and is it useful?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Welcome aboard Timothy, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header there might be members within visiting distance. A lot of things like available tools, good scrap scrounging locations, swap meets, smiths gathering for a BBQ and a little anvil time, is location dependent. If we don't know where you are nobody's going to invite you to the BBQ and you'll never meet their cute daughter. We need a few more pics of that to guess what it might be. Unless of course someone here knows, maybe had to use one on a job or it fell on a toe and the doc looked it up in the "take stuff out of people's foot" book. Frosty The Lucky.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Looks like an anvil to me. Of course when I have a hammer in my hand everything looks like an anvil or nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 My first thought was use as some kind of striking anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Is it useful? Absolutely, as to what it is I'm not sure and would need more pics to really even guess. Welcome to IFI and as stated above you really might be surprised at how many Smith's might be in visiting distance. I met an IFI member who lives about twenty miles from me when I went to meet someone to buy some smithing tools they were advertising on Craigslist. As an afterthought as I was leaving I asked him if he was a member of any forums and guess what. He's a member here. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal the smith Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi Timothy, No idea! Any marks or stamps on it? N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4elements Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi Timothy, what type of shop is it in? I see heavy truck leaf springs, possibly from a dump truck. The stand appears to be shop made. More info might help with the answers you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
