If you lived closer I could help you out....

Should ask on the island, maybe someone can cut you a piece

Just kidding, ask Dan M. he might be able to help, maybe they have some scrap pieces.

Thanks! Not rebuilding the KVR but interested building myself a mini anvil for close work.

Don't know Dan - do you have a contact you could PM me please Mat

@crawlin cruiser
Dan's "working on the railroad, all his live long days"

Ha

 

[crawlin cruiser]

Nope all my live long nights
I'm on days off right now but I can grab as much as you need. Lots of off cuts in the bin, I've been meaning to do this anvil project myself for awhile now!

Awesome - I'm in kamloops every week for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can meet up and shout you a beer. Looking for something at least 18"

Great forum!

 

[crawlin cruiser]

No problem! I'll grab you 2 this week for a "just incase"

I thought you might be building a rolling hedge for a driveway gate.

been collecting all the things I need for learning blacksmithing. Pretty thrilled to get the railway steel and two is a great idea - one to butcher and learn from and one to finish well!

People looking for track.... Spikes... whats next?!?! My buddy just got a CPR Caboose and shipped it to Galliano Island haha

Might be able to ask the KVR if they got any scrap laying around in Summerland

 

[gofast]

Never thought of that! I just pm'd Dan and hopefuly we can meet up. I'm bringing my back roads book and maybe he can show me where to go after work. I'm regularly in Kamloops for the next six months

I think buff is only scratching the surface (couldn't resist the reverse pun).
