JHCC Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 California blacksmith Steve Taylor posted on Facebook this image of a setup he used to shoulder a number of tenons in 3/4" square bar. Rather than take time to forge a monkey tool, he clamped his bolster plate over his anvil's hardy hole and used that. Note that because this is a Doyle (Harbor Freight) cast steel anvil, he was able both to lift it down to the floor (to put the top end of the workpiece at a convenient hammering height) and use a large C-clamp to hold the plate down (since the anvil's feet allow access to the middle of the underside).

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 What a great idea, I'll have to store that in the old memory bank when I need it. Should work just fine with my improvised 110 pound counter weight anvil on it's side. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.~ Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
