    I have one of these. I got a three foot section from a friend and cut is up into 12" pieces. It needs to be small enough to be manageable. I have a friend that gets it by the truckload all in 40 foot pieces.

    It's 3.1 X 4.8 metres and fully insulated, i got a nice window from a friend and cut that in, i put a sub board in the garage so it can have a few power circuits, i still have to run the phone and data cabling but i need to build the office in the house first( i am going to build in a small covered area outside the unused front door) we also scored a free cassette (flush ceiling mounted) air con too, i can get that room pretty frosty or toasty warm now.

    Wow. Sounds like you have a great plan.
    After just moving and redoing a lot of stuff in the new house i can appreciate how much work you are doing. It eventually all gets done but some days you wonder if you will ever get the final bit complete.

    You contact someone who is around the stuff all day long and ask them to send you a piece...

    A small section of track is perfect for pinning. You put a small divot in one end and a deeper hole in the other for driving out pins. .

    PM me if you want a lead on a guy who works at a railroad and sees chunks of rail regularly...he's a srp member

    Default Peening anvils

    My little anvils and 4 oz (124 gm) hammer. I cushion the bottom to account for a somewhat heavy hand.

    Ed, this is just an example of poor penmanship in an effort to keep that boy of mine from lifting another of Dad's tools.

    Jeweler’s anvils, watchmakers staking blocks or plates can be useful tools for pinning and un-pinning projects. Sometimes you can find vintage ones cheap. Portable too.
