My New Old R & R Anvil

[Dennis Towns]

What I thought would be just a short little project turned into wellllll 5 hrs. And I don't even need it. I have a real 125# and a small one. But this old dead piece was sitting there and I thought what the heck. Anyway it turned out ok, milled a flat on top. It does not have the bounce test that my real one has but I can find some use for it, maybe. Any how here is a couple pics. It weighs close to 25#

Looks good - I made a similar one from RR rail for sizing horse shoes way back when I was had horses. Now it works really good for small stuff. Sits on the bench inside while the big anvil is outside for the forge.

Good job!

They work well enough for peening bolster pins.

I started with one and it sort of work. Then got a 149 lb Peter Wright.
Makes a good little bench anvil, but not near enough mass for forging.
