Malleus Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 My dad worked in the mining industry, and he brought this H&L Tooth adapter home somewhere around 25 years ago. It's for very large excavating machinery. I'm sure he brought it home to use for forging and blacksmithing purposes, but he never got around to using it. I decided to bring it home with me this weekend. I haven't weighed it, but it feels like it weighs around 60 pounds, and it's forged.

FlatLiner Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Looks like it will serve you well. It's got lots of possibilities as an anvil and swage block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Yeah, I like the narrow tips. Almost like the horn of an anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Ooh NICE! I'm feeling improvised anvil envy, whodathunkdat? I'd love a chance to use it for a while, I'm sure there features I don't see. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Glad you guys like it. I'm certainly looking forward to using it, especially since it belonged to my dad. I'm most certain he would be happy to see me getting some use out of it. Eventually, I'll have to make some kind of stand or holder for it.

JHCC Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Very cool. A stand that could hold it in many different positions would be great, to maximize the number of useable forging surfaces and shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
