I just use my piece as an anvil as it is. Have been promised "the old one" from my uncle this come complete with tree stump  :thumbup:

Well impressed with the construction article suggesting cutting and heat treating but mine's just fine for working out frustations on as is.

This is my take on using Railway track to make an anvil. As the important thing in an anvil is the mass of metal under the striking point, using the rail vertically works much better than the usual way. This is an on going project, it needs one of the "Spikes" rounding off and hardening and tempering.

I found it in a local scrap yard a few years back  , got it for a £1  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now it just lives in my backyard , someone spent a good bit of time and effort to make it . 


As to forklift tines/forks  good quality tough steel  :thumbup:   one of my favourite  materials  :dremel:
