Had several offers on my way back to the tent. https://www.iforgeiron.com/ is a website with a ton of information about anvils and forging. Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Like them much better than stakes with a ground point.

Like them much better than stakes with a ground point. Those may have been the only smooth stakes I ever made. I always used rebar. I made those for a member on here. I can not remember of there was six or twelve. They were for ram snares and had a piece of angle iron on them to put the spring eye on. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."
