Nice.

I'm pretty happy with it. The OCD part of me says I need to clean up the grinds on the corners. Then it will be really finished.

It's used to take a flat piece of metal and pound it into a dish shape. I shouldn't be using sarcasm like that in my first thread. I asked the same question when a metal-pounding friend asked me if I had one. After he described it, I knew I had to make/find one.
These are used for custom auto/motorcycle bodywork and for making metal armor among other things.

Thanks Russel!
Looking at it..... It seems too heavy for auto/ cycle bodywork. I thought it might be used as the anvil. :scratch:
But. Mentioning armour, it makes sense! :thumbup:

They come in all sizes. You would choose the weight and the radius of the dome depending on the thickness of the metal and the size of the "dish" you want.
