You know when I first started this post I had a-whole-nuther direction in
mind... and then explaining how I got here turned into a rant. RANT MODE

I know one of our members here hard faced a piece of metal to make an anvil
a few years back.


Look up Ernie's web site. http://www.stagesmith.com/links/ He has a nice bit on making an anvil. He does not use railroad rail.

I have seen one of his anvils. A work of art.
