Congratulations LMMasterMariner - your Exhaust Valve Anvil is the Homemade Tool of the Week!
This is one of the simplest tool builds we've ever seen: drill hole, insert valve. This trick won't really work with common smaller engine valves, and even for a larger valve, its low mass will limit its effectiveness as an anvil.
Nevertheless, this is a very clever idea, and apparently a very rare one. It's trendy now to incorporate large engine parts into decor, but examples of using such components as useful tools is difficult to locate.
Some other nice picks from this week: a Tailstock Lever Modification by olderdan, a popular Railroad Track Anvil by Carlos B, a Vise by Tuomas, a Lathe Truing Tool by Canobi, a Small Tractor Crane by Barefootbilly, a Tailstock Center by jjr2001, a Arduino Diagnostic tool by rgsparber, and a Workbench and Tool Chest by markfitz.
