It would have loads of uses round a machine shop, scrape one side up and use it for marking out plate. Drill and tap a load of holes in another side and use it for clamping things down for machining, and when you not useing it just use it for keeping the door open with it.  :wave:

I like a couple of your ideas. Trouble is I'd want to frill it all full of holes just to make it lighter. :)

Nice catch!   I just get a box of brushes and a lump of coal for my stocking this year. :(

Hey I like that idea with the clamps. It is sort of unhandy to handle. Now all I need to do is find a clamp that will open that far.

You should have seen the stocking that piece was in. :bugeye: Hey coal is good. You can use it to keep warm or crush it to smaller pieces and use it in a steam boiler.  :scratch:

Ok Bernd, we have a fair exchange here, I will send you a lump of coal, you send me the block of cast. You will stay warm, I will make dozens of little engines.

First thing i though when i saw that lump of cast iron was key ring tabs.

Just cut it up with you saw into 1/8" thick slices about 1" square and make dog tags out of them.

Should keep you busy for a few nights  :wave:

Darren:
How heavy Bernd?

Sounds a lot, for such a bity lump of metal..... :D

Nice find, hope you thank your good lady, sounds a lot like mine.......... :wave:
