Could it be gas cut, then re tempered by throwing in the neighbours pond, rather than throwing the pond on it, as in the video :scratch: |

Not really an anvil but works like one on some jobs. Use it for straightening and bending small stuff. Came from a large vise, part of a broken jaw still attached, when I found it in a scrap yard. Holding up real well. Cheers CB |

I've got a broken vise that i've just had sitting in a damp corner. I was thinking of taking it to the skip next time I tidy the garage too. |

Ah well so! In advance of this thread I had already decided to source some railway track. Living in Ireland I knew we had a bigger gauge than the standard (British) gauge so I managed to "aquire" a length from Irish rail. It arrived and it was such a speciment piece I could hardly take the gas axe/plasma cutters to it: It was clearly a specimen of rail cut out for a purpose: "BSC WORKINTON" Such pieces are often mounted up as retirement gifts. Naturally I couldn't cut this up! However MadModder 2 decided this was just what we needed to act as a counter weight on our gang mower! So its back to Irish rail to blag another piece |
