Homemade Rr-track anvil

Once that's painted, wondering percentage of people would not believe this is hand made, or produced by a private shop.
I'd feel sorry for them, but it'd be a lost cause.

Thanks. Its still missing some parts. I will integrate leg vise to it too. Video comes when its ready.

Btw. While welding it, i got an idea about simple aid that makes easier to learn " walking the cup " with tig.

Simple octagon shaped cup.
Its easier to " walk " with the edged, than round shape.

Short clip shows the use:

Note that camera is on the way, so i need to feed additive over it.
It would be better to feed it in lower angle.

I haven't used that method earlier, just the " traditional " way.
Actual cup is a shaped copper pipe on top of the size 6 ceramic cup.



Octagon shape is made by pressing pipe around suitable sized nut head.

Helped me to learn the method.

Clever idea, nice work & beautiful TIG welds.
Minor correction...it's a hexagon shape...6 sides....octagon would be 8 sides, and I'm not aware of any 8 sided nuts or bolts, but I've not seen it all yet.
