[TheForge] make shift anvil

Thu Oct 16 16:30:12 2003

I-beam may be suitable for some work, but it's not as heavy as an
anvil.

Consider getting various chunks of heavy steel to use as "other parts"
of the anvil.

Individitual dozer treads have been suggested as useful.  Look for
things 50+ lbs in weight, preferably steel, not cast iron.

There's nothing magic about a London-pattern anvil.  It's a useful
tool, but other tools can be made to do the same job.

Hello all,

As some of you know I am just starting off in the Blacksmithing feild
and
haven't yet saved up enough money to buy an actual anvil,so I had the
idea to make a make shift anvil out of a large peice of  I-beam that I
hope to aquire from the scrap yard some time soon.If any of you have
any
ideas or advice about this idea/subject,I would greatly appreciate it.

Sam.
