Sorry for the poor quality of some of the photos, I took them with my phone camera.
I hope You like my hawk, I sure do.:)
 
Thank you again, this is the result of a lot of reading and documentation on the diferent tipes of hawks.
From the start I have to solve the problem of that short cutting edge and I was little confident on this problem.
In the end, I managed the problem.

Is that a piece of RR track used for the anvil? Where do you guys find them?

You may find a piece at a company that works for RR maintenance.
They often cut down pieces of RR tracks.
It`s fine for small work but it`s hard to use for larger projects.

Thanks!:)
