I just got a used Nimba Centurion.
Used but had never been dressed.
So I've;
removed the pitting and hand ground the face flat with lots of water and flat diamond stones,
got the horn back to symmetrical using a portable slack belt grinder and big diamond files,

I made this anvil/stake yesterday, from a steel rod and some scrap wood. I've been wanting to forge a rounded contour to rings for design and comfort and it works perfectly!

The block on the right side slides off to allow the ring to slip over the stake. That's my grandpa's mallet, it's very soft. He was a Boeing machinist - I don't know exactly what he did with it, but it's great for massaging silver without marring the surface at all. I've had it in the back of a tool box for years - since he died in 1986 or so, and now I've found a purpose for it. I couldn't be happier.

Been sitting on the work bench for 2 years now. Finally got a hair across my ... and did something about it.

Start with a harrow dish, weld on a 6x6 (I think) thick wall box tube and top with a piece of 1/2 inch plate. Set anvil on top and add clamps to hold in place. Add some hammer holders and all done.

Hi...
I'm still finding my way around artmetal
and now I've got real question
which I can't find answered with searches...
(not yet...slow, problematic computer....
so my answer might really be in there)

Hi Folks, I'm back on ArtMetal after an eleven year hiatus. I'm a buddy of Dr. Vega of the curvilinear cult. I am neighbors and a secret admirer of the metal hottie, Ms Kimberly. I have been in this metal forming, melting, twisting, carving, mushing, fusing,welding, cutting, carving, and cussing business for more than 35 years.
