I am thinking of something similar, but rather than a wide, flat shape, I'll try to use part of a 3" round axle (which I think is 4140) welded to the top of a piece of 3.5" round stock about 19 inches long (was a counterweight for something). I'll try to replicate Charlie's anvil base with the round tube filled with gravel, and three forged steel wedges as tightening pins.

Was the auction the full pallet, or individual pieces? Originally Posted by randydance062449

All you need is a flat as big, or slightly bigger than the hammer head. So if you have a flat milled on an edge that size you will be fine. Even annealed it will work since it will still be harder than red hot steel, and razors do not require a striker swinging a 10# sledge to shape them.
For a hardy holder, just use a vise, or a separate square tube socket welded to a plate to hold them.
A note on the stainless you have. A post above mentioned they lose hardness above 800° , a razor would never heat it up enough to loose hardness since it is simply too small of a mass to do so.
The large radiuses can make some nice spring tools to rough in the hollow grinds.
Do you have access to any machine tools?randydance062449 likes this.
