Knife and hawk forging station

[Robert Mayo]

I finaly got around to setting up my old cast steel post anvil.
It might be a little overkill but i figured the barrel was just the perfect height.
There's about 300lbs of concrete and a hundred pounds of steel all welded together in the grease barrel.
Then add the 40 lb anvil and 15 lbs of dropped wagon axle for the horn it's about 450 lbs
now i just have to move it into the shop. The horn still needs to be tapered and the face of the anvil cleaned a little.
And the anvil pops out of it's tapered socket so i can make more tools to use in the socket.
