a real anvil. Will wire brush the paint off of the work surfaces.

For size reference, Charlie (the skull) is 5/8" wide.

Definitely a good lil' anvil, I still use a hunk of rail clamp, it aint pretty but it suits my needs

Rail can make a great anvil I have a piece of 122 pound rail. Nice & heavy. I need to use a cutting torch &angle grinder to make it anvil shaped. I would like to find a good 150 Lb. real anvil for when I start forging razors & knives in the near future.

Trying very hard to control my RAD, so no SR's unless there is something special about them. Just had to go to at
least 1 thrift store to keep from going into withdrawals. Found some tea cups that would be great for soap cups.
I'm thinking about a wall display with 4 shelves holding 3 cups each. Also found some odd soup bowls, 2 have these
neat little cracker holders. Everything was marked .99 cents and then I found out the color of the stickers indicate
so much off the price. Couldn't resist, I'm such a sucker...


The 3 soup bowls, don't know what I can do with them. Put pocket change in 'em, I guess.


3 Pier1 cups. I always find these cups in 3, don't know why.


3 china tea cups with Chinese design, I like the dragon.

Wait a minute! Just had an idea of what I could do with a couple of those soup bowls...


Not bad for a total of $6.18!

I've been a good boy, so I went fishing today.

I think that might be to hold the tea bag for a second cup??
