    Generally, I peen one side first, sand the other end flat again by touching it to the belt sander, insert it, cut off the excess, make it flat again, and peen.

    Same but use a smooth 11inch flat file for for those operations.

    Methinks a tow ball could be adapted as an anvil also.

    That tow ball and drill chuck are great ideas!

    Any chunk of steel would do. I have a block app 4"x2"x1" that is pretty good, i also have a short section of track too, i haven't used it yet as my workshop is a bomb site, but the schoolroom I am building in half of it is pretty much finished so once I have got the carpet and blind out of the workshop I can finish organizing it and build a workbench.

    Well my daughter is home schooled by my wife and when we moved house we decided to build a room in part of our double garage for the purpose, that way all the mess is out of the house and it is a purpose built space with less distractions.
    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.
