That picture is proof that you're not a pink croc wearing Californian .

I'd die before either of those things happened.

I gotta admit I like your anvil set up. Enjoy the videos you’re putting out & I subscribed.

I have really enjoyed this thread.

It seemed logical for the size of the anvil and the workshop space I've got. There are some tradeoffs, but having it easily moveable is a huge bonus.

I appreciate the views and the interest - this is just me having fun.

And the small cleaver...is done.








Hoji, yours gets my full attention now.

It cuts, too. Took a tiny football-shaped divot out of my fingertip when I got careless...just the slightest touch.

I'm bettin' it will. It's a cleaver any henchman would be proud to chase Jackie Chan with.

Going to a guy I went to high school with, who's engaged to one of my best friends. He wants a machete next.

It's sharp enough there was no pain - just a tugging sensation that told me I'd fucked up. Luckily the cut is small - could've been much worse very easily.

I'm late to the party, just found this thread. I just replaced all the leaf springs from one of my trailers. Can you do anything custom with steel from a leaf spring?

I thought you weren't supposed to cut paper since it's so abrasive.
