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

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

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. =

How weird...I am JUST getting into this as well. I just built a stand =
for my
anvil and I am now needing tooling. My hardy is a 3/4" as well. I need a
source of 3/4" square stock so I can weld it to all of the heads that I =
have
on hand. I will probably custom fit mine by heating/hammering if need =
be...

What are some of the sources of steel suppliers that you all use? I use
ADMIRAL for 10xx and stainless, but I have not gotten into the mild =
steel
market as of yet...

Thanks
Mark
