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.

Mine looked very similar to yours Jerry. As I said funds are low so I stopped working as I'd worn out all of my El Cheapo Belts; but I just got a bit of a perk so I'll be picking up some more HF belts and work on mine some more tomorrow.
I think something that might have been overlooked is that the seller is offering these chunks of RR Track as pieces of History and not for anvils.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

Ya..They have to be good for other things to justify them..?
You could simultaneously pin 40 razors if you had enough hands and hammers!
