[TheForge] WTB: Any hardy tools to fit 3/4 inch hardy hole

Wed Jan 7 00:56:01 2004

Welcome Larry,
Make them yourself the easy way.
I use 2'' piece of 2" x1/4" flat on the anvil face, mig the tool (hot
cut,fuller,swedge or whatever)to the top;and on the bottom a piece of  1/4
or 1/2' bar stock across the diagonal of the hardy hole.The stock through
the hardy hole can be heated and drawn out or narrowed for a good fit a lot
easier than a full size piece.If ,down the road,  you change anvils, it's
pretty easy to resize the diagonal shank.
Good luck,and again welcome.
