You will find use for the anvil! It looks like a nice one.

Would've come in handy as a backstop for pounding in receivers to 3"x1/4" square tube instead of the concrete but now i have the 20t press 8)

Even those Chinese presses can do a lot. I have to run over to my friends when I need to use one.
I do have an anvil. Mine is old and was broken. Yep you can break an anvil. My Daddy Don found it for me, so it has sentimental value.

I have a HF anvil that is loose on the welding table. It's nice for banging things to what ever shape you want. It looks like you got a nice one. Any markings on it?

We have the bf's grandfather's anvil in our basement - looks like that one. Weighs a frickin' ton…

Comes in really handy when you need something like that.

You could always drop it on the ex-husband:

Yeah, I have lived in some pretty scary places. Windows that seemed open when they were closed. Floors that were unlevel, more suitable for a funhouse. plumbing that had so much crud built up that you couldn't push a pencil in. Furnaces that I couldn't afford to fire up. Been there, done that!

Unless I find the material to make my own I'll be getting one of these kits next year.
http://www.swagoffroad.com/20-TON-Finge ... _p_86.html
http://www.swagoffroad.com/20-TON-Press ... _p_42.html

I have enough 3/4"x3" bar to make a small one, maybe I'll do that for now to play around with it. I need some 3/4"x4" bar to make a full width one but don't want buy 20' of it.

I thought it was a HF anvil since almost everything in that garage was from HF amd because its painted blue. I looked closer at it this morning and it says 'TRENTON' in a diamond shape on the side along with '72' and a ser number on the foot. It weighs 72 Lbs and the top is nice and flat. I googled around and it turns out this is an old American made anvil from Columbus Ohio! Considering I paid $200 for everything I think I did pretty well. I'll clean it up and see if I can look up the serial number when I have time.

If I do make one it'll be a single full width. I haven't convinced myself its worth it to add the extra weight for my needs. It would add about 75lbs of extra weight not including mounting my hi-lift, so like 175lbs total with bumper :shock:.


Think about it this way...you can have TWO spares :jester: Or... you could probably fab something up to go where the old spare did. Idk what you could/would want to really put there other than auxiliary tanks/water tanks.

Keep up the good work though. We're lucky we have someone like you fabricating for our KKs.

Got the redesigned rear done today. The tire carrier has been put off for now, but I will eventually build it. More pics after paint.

Found the steel to rig together a press brake. Its not the prettiest thing but it works. I may have kicked myself though because now I can't find the right springs that fit over the 1" tube guides. I have springs that's work for 3/4" but I'd have to hack it up and redo the guides.

It easily bent this full width 19" piece of 10 ga (0.1345") with about a 7/8" radius. If I want a tighter radius I read that i can stack smaller pieces of angle iron in the bottom die.

ANOTHER NEW SHOP TOY!

I've wanted a plasma cutter for a long time now. I'm sick of the circular saw/bandsaw/angle grinder cutting. They all work ok, but they all have limitations.
Picking a cutter was tough, there are cheaper options out there but everyone said Hypertherm is the way to go. After a TON of research I finally landed on the Hypertherm powermax 45. Its a 1/2" cutter, which means it cleanly cuts 1/2" steel, but can sever 1".

It just came today and I only had a few min to play with it, but so far it impressed the crap out of me.
