gewoon ik Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Hello I'm Brecht, I'm from Belgium, Ghent. I'm following eveningcourses with a blacksmith (and a group of other students) to become a blacksmith. I like it, so it is time to invest in tools of my own. Looking for an anvil (or something that can be used, I'm looking around in the bin at work : heavy machinery repair shop). Already looking around here for a couple of weeks/months before posting. I rent a small workshop where I have a welder and some equipment for that. I share it with others. and to mess you guys up, i just copy the title of the fellow from Deinze just below me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The heavy machinery repair shop dumpster should be a great source for improvised anvils, as well as other things. Look for inside and outside curves that can be used as a swedge, and anything with a shape that can be forged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Heavy machinery are made from anvils. This came off a bulldozer (counterweight) 110 pounds and cost me $35 U.S., stump was free. Made a small bick out of sucker rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
