Metalworking wise, I am busy cutting railroad rails (112 lbs per
yard)
into 11 inch pieces that fit into flat rate boxes. Doing so with a
bandsaw.

Out of random curiosity, has/is there significant demand???


Rail is claimed to be a passable and more available substitute for a
small anvil.

Cut 'em smaller. They're going like hotcakes.

Most start at $30 for an inch! (jeweler size)


After I found an antique English anvil (with my name stamped on it!) I
put my chunk of rail away and haven't used it since.

Where'd you find a "Jim" anvil?
