Ted Ewert Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Pardon my ignorance, but what the French is an abdul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Ted, adaptive text strikes again, if not I suspect Abdul might object to having hot steel forged on his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 To me abdul was a delicious straight line. If we're talking anvil use, forging on it is HARDLY different. We all do that. However some of us have been known to lay it on it's side to use the curves between body and feet or between the feet or under the heel as bending jigs/wide swages. Is that the kind of thing you're asking about? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My 91# anvil with a caplet depression in the base can be flipped upside down and used as a dishing form. It also has the thinnest heel of all my anvils and so gets used a lot for trueing fork tines, or rocked up so the horn points at about 60 deg up which is handy for some tasks. As for how to find a larger on ASK EVERYONE! (AKA the TPAAAT) Which is how I found my 469# Fisher that sits next to the 91# A&H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I think Mr Jabbar's anvil stand would look rather like the Eiffel Tower... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
