Hi everyone,
First let me introduce myself. I'm in the military (USAFSOC) stationed in Okinawa. I'm new to the forum, but have been building my own Stock Removal blades for a couple of years. When i got sent here, I had to leave my equipment back in the staes, since I had a weight limit on what I could bring.
I decided to try forging blades instead of the Stock Removal process. I bought vol. 9 from Hoods Woods and I'm trying to get started here. I have everyithng set up . except for one small important thing; I have no anvil.
I've been looking through every scrap yard here on the island (all 6 of them; its a small island) and have come up with nothing. I did locate a big piece of I-beam, but cant secure a small enough piece. There are no trains on the island, so scrap railroad track is non-existent. I even thought of using a big flat rock. All the rocks here on this island are volcanic and wouldnt hold up to hammer blows
So here I am. If there is anyone out there who could send me about an 8 to 10 inch piece of rairoad track, I'd be more than grateful. Of course, I's be more than willing to pay for any charges incurred on an item like this.
If anyone could help me out on this, then drop me a line at magkaisa@konnect.net.
Thanks in advance
Bob
