    Got an ASO

    Finally got me an ASO (anvil shaped object). It's a one foot length of some seriously heavy railroad track (weighs 60#) and should do nicely for the pounding on steel that I do. I'm going to make a concrete pedestal for it to add even more mass and since it's been forged should have a nice hammer rebound to it, much better than any of those asian ASOs which are offered everywhere. I have some 1" plate steel and the thought occurred to me that I could make and weld a horn to it.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.
