    Now this is an anvil

    At least to me that is
    I left my homemade 250 LB Peter Wright style anvil in Kuwait when I left and have contemplated making another one for years I even have a hunk of 4 1/2" thick steel to burn one out of but the piece of steel is so nice being 11 feet long by 12inches there are so many other things I could make out of it that every time I think about taking a torch to it I quickly come up with something else to do to take my mind off of whacking up the chunk of steel
    My friend who brought me the care package of tooling drove up with this today it was the other item of the care package he told me he had for me.
    OK its a box I see that but it is also a heavy box

    This 400 LB hunk of steel looks like a really good base for my new anvil

    I don't care the country or origin Steel is steel and it has a hard ring to it besides it didn't cost me actual money I would have probably spent the $750.00 he paid for it on guns or ammo anyway

    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
