Anvil Making
Joules:
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.

That's a neat idea. 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.

Are you mad? Behavior like that could get you banned from this forum.

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
