Looks like it might be a parft of a small harness, but smaller than any of my critters. Maube for ponies. I'll check email.

Didn’t buy anything today but sold a few chargers and half dollar coins so not a bad swap meet.

Here's another that I didn't make. I had a co-worker come into town for a few days and after work he pounded this out. Took two nights for him to make this.

How good is the edge & how did he do it?

He did a good job. He's a Russian, so he follows directions well. We can make one when you come on up.

Here's the one from post #6 I'm finishing up. I'll finish staining and sealing the handle in the morning then sharpen it.

That came together nicely.

That is amazing. Job well done.

@Nod4Eight I plan on using an old fire extinguisher that I cut in half as you can see in the picture. Picking up some new coins right now but I’ll be starting in about an hour. I’ll text you pictures if it works.

Here's another I'm finishing up... Ferriers rasp, which starts out with a good shape, but is hard to move because it's already been hardened. Still gotta finish the handle shaping/sanding and put an edge on it.

Love the look of the rasp teeth in it.

HUh? The opposite of Iron & Fire?

He’s a Smith.

It's 110#, but it was my buddies. $220 would not be a bad price for one that size. You can't find them around here. My current one is 70# and not nearly the anvil, but it's going to be tightly secured to a base that weighs about 100#, so it will be solid. As you know, it's all in the weight. Once you get over 100 - 150 lbs it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference imo.

Hmm looks like you really need two if you want to have some fun.

 

[Bullitt08]

True but the only ones around here that I've found have benn 55lbs and 60lbs. they want over $130 for them. I'm to the point now that I may just make my own out of some railroad track.

There are some guys around here using H beams.

And a Pre-Emmitnent one, at that!

You know, I used to work with his sister. She looked like him with boobs.

I thought putting it in a forge took away the hardness?
