Some might think "twin horn fabricated anvil, heavens forbid" (and maybe not) I,ll try and keep it simple. ![]() before, so I don,t know how well it would sell, so I,ll stick with a known pattern. Yes, good point Thomas, I will make myself a real flash twin horn, side shelf, jobbing block, special holes everywhere, all bells and whistles later, but for now I want to made a commerical unit to sell.

Then take the pattern to a steel foundry and ask them to make a casting in 4140 steel.įrom there find a heat treater with equipment for heat treating steel and ask them to treat it.Īfter that find a machinest with a good surface grinder to do the face for you. I would suggest that you borrow an anvil that you like and make a wooden pattern to match it.
