Mini Anvil
I was going to find someone to polish this garage sale find, to make an anvil for pinning.
My friend Roy (cuddarunner) convinced me I could do it myself. Thanks Roy it turned out great!

Well it didn't have a price on it. The lady at the garage sale asked me how much I would pay, I also had a hand full of spring-loaded brass

hooks and other nick-nacks. I said,"How about $5.00 for the track section, she looked confused and said, "That's way too much".
I got everything for $4.00!
Roy, it weighs right at 11 pounds.Freddie

Nice score. I just weighed the pieces I use to pin on and the old wood stove cast clothes iron is right at 4 lbs and the chunk of steel my dad called his 'Field Anvil' is 4.5 lbs so you've got a lot of mass and it shouldn't be wiggling around any on you. Also if by chance you can't find it you know it didn't just walk away. Originally Posted by MisterClean

I've been looking for something like that. found a section of track at a garage sale but it was about 3 feet long. as i don't have any way to cut it i had to pass.(way to long for my work bench.

GOD made a thing called a 'Machine Shop'---have it cut to size at the Shop and then sell what you don't need to help cover expenses. Originally Posted by tintin

Nice job, a small anvil is always nice to have. This is one I made from a 1" sucker rod just for peening pins. It's got a flat section so I can easily clamp it in the bench vise and an assortment of holes at different depths for initial peening.
