rail anvil build

[ArlyA]

Here is an anvil I built from a rail X years ago. I believe its made with 120lb rail, nonetheless, the whole thing is quite heavy and works very well..

Nice work, they are handy to have around. Mine sits outside, I need to make a better stand for it. I have it on a cut off log.
ArlyA, do you have a forge? I cobbled one together out of an old propane tank, using a Hair drier for a blower. I played around with knife making, a while back, didn’t get too proficient at it.

I really like how you've built it onto a stand. Almost looks like art.

No forges here Mike. My style is more like "need to own Bridgeport" than forge. (I don't have one)

I'd call it both. I have a piece of track a little smaller and one much smaller,neither with a stand near that nice.

I have one made from track as well. It's amazing how heavy rail is.

Did you pull out for lack of sufficient heat or what ?

If there is enough interest in forges,maybe we could cuss and discuss building gas forge.

That wasn’t a problem, i was able to get plentry of heat out of it. I used lump hardwood, as a heat source. I just sort of lost interest and free time for that particular hobby. I tend to bounce around on my interests, doing more woodworking lately.

That looks like a really heavy duty anvil and stand.
Good work!
